I've noticed there is a general predisposition with them. Most will eventually calm down.

I have hatchlings that are friendly from the time they hatch out of the egg... others are more "normal" and take a good bit of handling before they get used to humans and realize we are not going to eat them... others (like my 4 year old female anery) seem to totally hate being touched by human skin. At 4 years old she still hasn't gotten over it, although she does show more tolerance, as if she's thinking, "ok this is unpleasant, but I know I'll get something I want so I'll try to put up with it."

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.

Both of my females are very calm, but my male is very active.
My females are content to just lay around. My male is very curious and likes to roam!
