snakes are not dogs for one, but in the same arguement all I've ever known was sweetheart pitbulls and they seem to be the biak of the dog world. again depends on the animal. and locales are not breeds. it would be like saying dogs bred in germany are nicer than dogs beed in the usa.
He might have more experience than me but making a blantly false statement is just wrong. locale is just where a snake is from, their all gtps. they don't have different social cultures or anything so theres no reason they would have different personalities, you can't compare them to dogs, their personalities arn't effected by what part of the world (supposedly) you pulled them out of. it makes no sense to even make such a claim.
so my point is the OP shouldn't be looking at a name that was put on them for marketing purposes and look at things that really matter for a first time owner.
and no im not taking it as a personally attack at all, i just feel you are misinformed and I firmly believe stereotypes like this need to be gone.
