I think it's a mix between the snake itself, the breeder, and also the owner. I don't know where the ones I had came from because I did not purchase them myself, but I'm willing to bet both of them came from a pet store. Charlie was rarely handled growing up (his previous owner had already had him for four years, but was unsure how many years old he was when he got him from another person) and was severely shy and timid when we got him, but after about three months of handling him nearly daily, he started to come out of his shell and become a lot more confident we weren't about to kill him or something.Penelope was an angel from the get-go. Super sweet, and rarely ever jerked her head back when touched unless the movements were really fast and perceived as a possible threat. You could even kiss her dead on the tip of her nose without a single flinch 99% of the time!
