I've had, and still have, quite a few Sunkissed and het Sunkissed snakes ranging from breeding adults to fresh out of the egg. I would have to say that their temperament generally runs to either extreme...half of them are psychotic and the other half are sweethearts. You rarely get one that could be considered "middle of the road" in terms of temperament. My suggestion to you, if you are considering keeping this morph, is to personally select a hatchling that doesn't tail rattle or get into striking position for if it does, it will most likely be that way as an adult with perhaps a few exceptions where the owner handled often.
