Is it possible to influence temperament?

You can't influence their behavior in any meaningful way like you can with mammals or birds for example.

Very true, but I do believe in "greener pastures"... I got a massive rose hair that was very aggressive and sold to me in deli cup she could barely even turn around in. We named her angry bc of her temper. But when we took her home, we gave her a ten gallon tank and within days she was no longer extremely agressive or defensive. I think she just needed to stretch! But she's no longer angry...

For now. With roseas that's always subject to change.
