Temperaments based on Morphs, Parents, etc.

[J.P.]

I heard that Albinos tend to be more temperamental than other snakes because of the T negative gene. Did anybody else hear of this?

i've never heard of it, and i have an albino that is very passive. i can't get a reaction out of it (except when i soak her, which she seems to hate). it never balls up, never strikes. very docile and LAZY. it won't even eat unless food is at the hide entrance.


spiders have good feeding response, but spook too easy when young. mine always ball up as soon as a rat sniffs at them. they seem to outgrow this though, as none of the adults are food shy.


i observed that aggression is influenced by husbandry more than anything else. a snake that is often petted is more docile than one that is never handled.
