Each snake is an individual. Some are calm, others are nervous, and some are down right nasty. And they also have the occassional good or bad day. I handle all my snakes about the same amount of time. Very generally, I would say the males are more calm than the females as adults. This may be an instinctual behavior since the survival of the species tends to depend more on the female. The male is important too, but 1 male can breed multiple females, and his part only lasts a short time. She has to carry the eggs, find a place to lay them, etc.
