This is a bigger deal than I ever used to give it credit for (especially when I worked exclusively with bloods who wanted to eat my face on a routine basis), but I've come to really highly appreciate the value of a snake with a good personality. My biggest female mojave, Dutchess, is probably my favorite of my BPs, and it isn't because she is the craziest/most expensive morph or even the greatest example of her morph (though she is quite lovely, she isn't all that reduced-pattern, which is what I go for in my morphs). It's because she has an excellent personality -- very alert and curious, as you describe your guys, but tame enough that I've used her for education quite a few times. (She also loves to eat, too
)
