My coastals are placid as too, whereas one of my stimmies is psycho. Also have a friend with a bredli that will throw herself at you if you open the cage. IMO coastals are no snappier than any other snake (there is a few exceptions, diamonds see to be very placid,) just that there is so many more of them out there that there is more snappy ones in number, not in proportion. What I'm saying is that I know of about 25 coastals, of which three are snappy. I only know of about 9 Bredli, one is psycho and one is snappy. Of the 7 or so Olives I am aquainted with, one of them almost cannot be handled and one is snappy. And olive's are known as the gentle giants.
Personally, I reccomend that for your first snake, you get the snake that you want, even if it be a BHP or olive. My theory is, if you want a BHP, but get a mac as your first snake, after 2 years when you get the BHP, what happens to the mac? You either sell it, or keep it but don't really want it. Snakes are not hard to keep, I see no reason to buy a cheepie as your first.
Sorry Emmanuel, not answering your question real well am I? I would reccomend that whatever source of heating you use, use a thermostat as well. My hatchies go on a heat matt in a plastic tub. My larger snakes get radiant heat panels - expensive but great.
