Did I get lucky with my BP or are most of them like this?

I have had my girl since the first week of March of this year and chose her out of gut instinct. After spending an hour at a reptile specialty shop I held many BPs and something about her felt right. Since the day I got her home she has never hissed, never bitten me, never failed to feed, and even when about to shed hasn’t been afraid of me or of being handled. There were two instances when she was fully opaque that I had to move her to clean and mist, and both times once she smelled who I was and used her tongue-snakey senses she had zero issue being handled whatsoever. She was very relaxed and crawling through my hands with no issue. She even lets me pet her head and rub her chin when I handle her. She rarely flinches from movement now and isn’t very head-shy. After the week period of letting her settle at home I have held her every day in increasing amounts, first sitting alone in a quiet room holding her for maybe ten minutes, and working up to walking around the house with her and letting her ‘sleep’ - cause ya know no eyelids lol - in my lap for an hour or more once she settles down. Are all pythons this relaxed? Or did I just get lucky? Or did I do well getting her situated with handling?

I've had sooo many Royals over the years and I'm currently down to just 4 of them but every single one has been calm , friendly and docile / placid . I keep reading of feisty Royals but I'm wondering if they're the same as Unicorns
