A Woma's temperament varies amongst individual animals - just like with anything. I have an adult pair, that I acquired as adults, and a 2 1/2 year old female. My youngest girl is sweet as anything, my male is perfectly fine, my adult female I wouldn't call aggressive, but if her mouth comes in contact with skin, she simply opens up and clamps down. LOL

I really can't say that the difference in temperament has anything to do with the age I acquired them either. A friend of mine got a female from the very same clutch that my youngest came from, and his had such an incredible feeding response - even to the point of trying to eat hooks, etc.  I was / am amazed, how 2 animals from the same clutch could be so incredibly different!

As far as their needs, they have proved to be an easy keep - no feeding issues, etc.

+1 Sonja, same here with my two the male is super nice the female will bite if giving the chance. Good eaters and easy to care for, your fourth snake could be a Brb.

With my girl, I've always thought it may have something to do with them being a more primitive species - the lack of the heat pits, structure of the face perhaps more sensitive??

I acquired my guy as a 3 yo adult, and he's puppy dog tame (although he has struck and wrapped my hand/arm once and chomped my hand a couple of times, but that was out of being hungry and overzealous, not aggressive).  He did have feeding issues, though.  He was on live rats when I got him, and could not get him switched to f/t.  After some trial and error, I found that he really likes 3 week old f/t quail, so that's what he gets, and he almost never refuses a meal now.

And I'll agree w/ the others: very easy to care for.  All in all, a fun animal to have, for sure.  :)

I've got an 09 boy who is the sweetest snake I own. I have seen very aggressive ones, but it seems to really depend on the individual. I would definitely recommend them though.
