I believe temperament is heritable (all experiments certainly support that), and only hold back docile animals. An aggressive/overly defensive snake is a deal-breaker for me.
My cinnie het albino girl is fine, nothing unusual about her temperament. My cinnie breeder male is also docile.
Out of hatchlings, I have found it follows clutch lines more than morph lines. Some pairings produce more aggressive hatchlings than others. Most of the babies will calm down with age, either way.
I believe if cinnamons or black pastels tend to be more aggressive, it's because people have been breeding aggressive ones.
I've yet to encounter a morph in which the general tendency is for increased aggression, it's always down to bloodlines, not morph genes.

This makes a lot of sense. 
Like most of yall, our black pastel/cinnies have been abnormally aggressive. This year we had two clutches sired by our grumpy old black pastel and his babies definitely inherited his attitude, every last one, even the normals.

What experiments?
Links to such?
I have seen some very aggressive babies come from completely docile adult females and vice versa.
Unless someone kept them in exactly the same environments and held them the same amount of time and fed them the same meals in the same manner, etc etc..
I doubt anyone has taken the time to do a meaningful "scientific" experiment.
I've yet to see an aggressive baby that couldn't be tamed into a completely docile adult...
