as babies, my balls were nippy but they outgrew that quickly. its a rare case in my snakes that they didnt outgrow it (Thor >: ( )

hognoses seem to just be hungry all the time, and i need to tap them to let them know, no its not feeding time, dont eat me. after that, they're sweet as pie, Except a large male that struck every chance he got.

my Irian Jaya Carpet Python, now she earned her name. Her name was bytch tyts. She struck regardless. you could walk past her set up, she'd strike. glance towards her from the other side of the room, she'd strike. she was a mean girly who is now with a carpet python breeder <3 so i know she's going to be happy and well cared for.

my boas (RTB) are super sweet. Navoo is no longer with me, Esmee strikes when she's hungry and thinks i have food but never intentionally goes after me. Big Mama is a 15 pound, 6 foot adult, and she's just a huge puppy. <33

my kingsnakes when i had them were feisty and would snap and try to eat your hand but they didn't hurt.

The gopher snake i once caught never tried to strike, and i released it a few hours later after the initial catch, in a field away from the house because of the threats the family was throwing at it to kill it.

and the corns ive had the pleasure of owning in the past were sweet as pie baby kins.

But, every species has its exceptions. Some may be known to be docile, some may be known to be hostile, but there will be those cases where one goes against the 'typical' standard for temperament. Thor was a grumpy ball python, and he struck whenever he saw anything come near him. I've met Naga, a super sweet carpet and ive heard nothing but bad on their temperaments. it all depends on the animal itself.
