I've heard this same story already from a couple of different people that have bp's (including reputable breeders), but I wanted to check here too, just for curiosity - - I've been told that some morphs, particularly darker ones, tend to be more "aggressive" or defensive, or just overall a bit more challenging to handle at times, how many of the ppl on this forum have first-hand experience, or what do you guys think if this is true or false in general?

I have a spinner, and he has never once hissed at me, or been in a defensive or striking position, he's usually a bit tense the first couple of seconds after picking him up, but relaxes almost immediately during handling. He did not display any signs of being defensive or high-strung, even when he was off feed for 4 weeks and stressed out due to being in a tank that was too big for him (he's in a 15qt tub setup atm, and has been eating well close to 5 weeks now).

A day ago, I picked up a dark morph from an expo (1.0 Super Chocolate Pewter), and he was extremely hissy when I got home and took him from his container, this could easily be travel stress and also the fact that he's still a baby - - he's a month younger than my spinner. I understand stress is a contributing factor, all he did was hiss when I opened his container, he stopped after I actually picked him up and held him, and he did not continue hissing after I put him in his tub, though he did "puff up" at me because I had to move him gently to place his water dish into the tub. From what I could tell, though, he was not in a striking or bite position. According to the breeder, he's aggressive during feeding, but otherwise manageable, I held him at the expo before I decided to buy him, and he was totally chill.

Obviously, I've had more time with Solidus to build trust and "bond" with him, and I understand Liquid was stressed out from travel, but how many of you can say darker morphs have more of an attitude than other or lighter morphs? I don't really care about being tagged, I figured that's something you have to accept if you want to keep and handle snakes, I'm just really curious if this "rumor" about darker morphs is true or not?
