More aggressive=better breeder?

[Nektu]

I was told tonight at our local reptile place, Scales and Tails, that the more aggressive of a female bp, the better she will be for breeding. Is there any truth to that?

No, Attitude doesnt make a female more or less likely to be a great breeder and lay perfect clutches.

Its all health and genetics and if the female is ready or not.

That is a pretty random assumption lol. Was that the store in Denver or the Springs?

So basically the guy is full of it?

Normally aggressive snakes IMO means better feeders.

Englewood. Doesn't surprise me. Same guy told me that 2 yellow bellies will make a piebald.

She does eat like a champ. Except for when she's in shed of course.

Yeah, I'm getting that same feeling. That is why I come here when I have questions.

I also believe this to be true.

I'm wondering if im the guy that told you about the aggressive part(i don't work there). In my experience, you leave your ball pythons alone never handle them they get aggressive of course. To me leaving them alone is as close as them being free in a way. I've seen them thrive better, eat better, overall do better. I don't think I've said that your gonna get a great amount of eggs or nothing of that sort.
