Fact or Myth?

[redshepherd]

I've been told by a local keeper of a few BP's to stay away from any with the Spider gene as he says they are very nippy and don't grow out of it. Is this true? And are there and other specific genes to stay away from when looking for pet first BP's?

False... Avoid that local weirdo. Lol

There aren't any ball python morphs that are correlated to temperament/nippiness.

Some morphs have a higher chance of physical deformities, and some with genetic neurological issues (spiders), but it's nothing to do with being a first-time owner or not.
