Babies tend to be a bit on the "I'M GONNA EAT YOUR FACE, HUMAN!!!!" kind of crazy side. Most of them chill out and grow up to be very even tempered. That being said, I have three exceptions to that in my 60 snake collection. All three (a normal female, black pastel female, and pinstripe male) were all handled often and raised the same as all the others. They were CRAZY as babies and are still VERY grumpy as adults. It's just a matter of knowing your snakes and knowing what you can and cannot deal with. See how you deal with it growing up and sell it if it still bums you out. It's not the worst thing in the world to do.

I would have sold our carpet python a year ago if my fiancé wasn't so attached to him. I bought him for our school tours since carpets are so gorgeous, but I get mauled every time I have to clean his cage. I can't bring him to a classroom and I'm not fond of him. Though oddly enough, he's never once bitten my fiancé. But, I have known breeders that LOOK FOR aggressive attitudes. A lot of times the aggressive ones eat better and breed better. True, at least from my perspective.
