Which garter has the best temperament?

Does how often they are handled/interacted with as a baby have any impact, or is it mostly just individual personality?

I'm not sure if it matters or not, but the ones I have that were just a few weeks/days old are much sweeter. I guess it also depends how the "handling" experience goes for them also. If it's a constant "run-away the giant is gonna eat me mode", then not so much. Some say not to over handle, but when mine were babies I handled them every day, sometime twice. I've got one (2 years old) that comes right to the door when I open it, then proceeds up my arm and around me neck. I'm no expert on this, this is just my input
