The temperament is similar to Ball Pythons, but they are just a bit "more" snake. Hard to explain, but they are faster and more intense. They also get bigger. They aren't as shy and far more curious. Also, none of the feeding problems.
That said, Zina was an exceptions. Slow starter and very shy when I received her. But that has certainly changed. She will hunt and eat with gusto. When I put the rodent in the cage she shoots out of her hide and her tail swishes back and forth, its wild, lol.
She is also not shy anymore.
She used to not be to happy about being "grabbed" to be removed from her cage. She has never hissed or struck or bitten, but she would try to trash around and get away. She doesn't do this anymore.
So "typically" they are like Ball Pythons but the things that some perceive as "negatives" in BP are normally not there. They get bigger, aren't shy, have no feeding issues and are more curious and aware and "there".
For lack of a better description
There is a lot of info at Casey Laziks website, as well !
Thanks
