Thank you!!
Honestly, he's an absolute sweetheart. He'll sometimes let out a very gentle hiss when I first reach in to grab him, but never anything more than an "I see you" kinda hiss. He's never struck though, well...
Outside of one strange week or two he's always been very docile. There was a streak (possibly weather related?) where he was a bit of a jerk, but it was brief and really out of character for him. He struck, but gave me plenty of warning. He wasn't up for handling that day!
But outside of that isolated incident he's never been anything but a pure sweetheart. Now that bloods/STPs are a few more generations into captive breeding they've calmed down quite a bit and have shed their "reputation" a bit.
Honestly, if you're interested in a blood/STP but their attitude is your biggest holdup I wouldn't worry about it. They're actually pretty chill from my experience.
