I hear females can be the sweet & calm once, but I also here some can get moody. I also hear males can be sweet & calm, but around breeding time and when they are ready to breed they are more moody.
I handle my female Ball python often as well as my male Ball python. Though, I've had my female longer than I have had my male. So far, I've noticed my female is the more sweeter and well-behaved one, and my male is the one that is more aware and and scared than the female. He is also more active than she is (except when I'm taking pictures of him). I know every Ball python is different, but, to me, it seems the females have more of a calmer and less aggressive attitude than the males. What do you think?
