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.
Snow and ice does funny things to those who live here in Maine.

Temperament is different for each individual snake. It isn't attached to any specific gene. If you want a good pet, mention that when you're talking to the seller of the snake you're interested in.
