Questioning the wisdom

of my own words.....
In a recent thread (under a different category), I made the statement that "looks is enough" - referring to a nicely patterned snake that didn't demonstrate the best aim during feeding strikes. Now, I find myself wondering if I was wrong.
I received this guy in trade yesterday. Great looking, CB, young adult male - with one heck of an attitude. So far, his temperament is comparable to (if not worse than) most of the fresh imports I have dealt with over the years. He's already flipped over backwards, and hurled himself out of the tub trying to get at me. Is looks REALLY enough?

(just for the record, I'm not at all phased by his temperament...nor do I consider it a permanent condition. It was just a fun way to show him off)

er - I'm not anticipating any wounds, lol. I've done this before. There may come a point where I push the issue and just let him get it out of his system...but I try the gentle approach first, lol.
If there's enough blood to make it worth showing, I'll post pics, k?

(I also don't want to stress him too much in the process, as he is here for practice next season...I've never bred bloods before, and want to get a clutch under my belt before my project male is ready to go in a year or two)

Is this the one that was labeled for you?

The nicer they are, the more attitude. Prima Donnas.

No - this is one that I traded some surplus bulls for.
The one you are thinking of is as sweet as could be...even takes food gently (so far, lol)

That one was really nice looking. Sounds like you got both looks and a good attitude with that one.
