i got a blackhead from a big breeder and that thing was as nasty as can be after a year of constant handling she is just now starting to calm down but i buy from the same guy and i have some that are tame as can be. when i hatch my guys out until they have 3 meals in them i dont mess with them but i think the big breeders sometimes dont have time to handle them. i guess you could say its 50/50
