Hyperactive Hypos???

[timesender]

I have both a normal boa and a hypo. I have notice that the hypo is more jumpy or nervous than the normal. I handle them both 3 or 4 times a week. Has any one else found the hypo to be more skitsh than the normals?

i have two hypos...the older one i got as as yearling, she was never really handled except for feeding and cleaning. she is a little nervous around us, but shes not very active, especially during the day. but, who knows, she might be active at night when im sleeping, but i just dont feel like waking up at all hours of the night to see whats shes up to LOL. i still dont handle her all that often so sometimes shes still nervous, but she still lets us handle her with no probs.

my younger hypo i got her when she was about 1 month old, naturally, she was nervous cause she was so young, but i wouldnt consider her skittish. shes now about 5mo and with the regular handling, shes just as calm as our normals and other morphs

	Hypomelanistic Hypomelanistic - a genetic reduction in the dark pigment Melanin.

	Morph A morph is a color or pattern variation that is proven to be genetic. Common morphs include albino, anerythristic, gentically striped, Hypomelanistic, and many others. Morphs also include combinations of simple traits such as "Sunglow" which is Albino and Hypomelanistic. These traits may be recessive traits, co-dominant traits, dominant traits, or created through selective breeding (ie Pastel).

my hypos are more curious snakes that my normals. they both like to move around a look at stuff and crawl all over things as well, but once my male is done with that he likes to just lay in my lap.
