I would say yes, but that is just my personal thought on genetics and the outcome of a ton of other factors.

There was not too long ago an article in Reptiles Magazine about GTp or ETb, can't remember and donated it to my sons school, that gave a vast base of knowledge of how to prevent bites from a well known biting type of snake. Only reason I read it is because I would love to one day own a GTP but without the bite issues.

But ponder this, shipping is stress, can stress take a toll on disposition, would you be happy if shipped? Some may get over it faster than others.

I have had quite a few reptiles purchased at a more than low price because they were just pain mean and I never had a problem with them. So maybe shipping scared them "straight".
