Breeding for personality

Thanks for the inputs. I'm sure when selecting breeding stock, you would also select for personality inadvertently, but you could accelerate the process purposely.

Explain, please.

I would see it more as a consequence of some snakes responding less well to handling than others and how that might affect how soon the owner detects illnesses and injuries. The more you handle a snake, the sooner you notice a problem. And the sooner you can start treating it, the better the animal's chances of survival are, which means longer lifespan, more clutches, bigger clutches and higher survival rate among the offspring.

Perhaps.
