I'm pretty new to snake genetics and have yet to breed my own, though I'm looking to in the near future. However, I'm pretty competitive in the horse industry, and am very familiar with equine traits. I know that for horses, a general temperment can CERTAINLY be genetic. There are whole lines that tend to throw fits in the show ring and flip over. We ended up with one of them, and while you can work with a personality and compromise with them, some things are just inherited. It took us three YEARS of hard work every day to find something he would put up with, and eventually put him in harness. While he loves it, he still gets a wild hair every once in a while and wants to take the buggy off. I completely agree with some of the earlier posts in that you can work with just about anything and tone down a generally agressive nature, and if no one is willing to do that, it will just get worse.
In my experience though, temperments can definately be passed on.
