My Cuddles is captive born, though his mother was caught wild when she was pregnant with him. He is relatively calm once you get him out, but he can be a bit of a bratty teenager sometimes. The wild ones that I catch around here (in the backyard - mostly very young or male) are skittish. The one female I am certain of was quick to run away from me, so I have no idea how she may have reacted, but I have found that they are generally a little quicker to settle down and stop fighting (and even remain calm enough for pictures!). My little wild-caught baby is spooked very easily and extremely skittish. He tried to bite my husband, even though he's too small to do so. The only thing he hasn't done is musk me, which is something my captive-born doesn't mind doing to remind me who's really in charge
