I've not had infernalis yet. But I don't think those rumours are right. Mine are very quick and highly alert on what you do when the enclosure is open. The 2 females also need to be looked after when you give them food, because they have a tendency to 'take' the others food.
But that said, these are really snakes I see a lot, almost always going though the enclosure and checking things out. And they are gorgeous to observe.
Thanks for the reaction
