I've never heard of a snake breeder selecting for personality traits. Maybe there are some that I've never heard of, but the overwhelming majority of snake breeders select for visual traits. So selective breeding has nothing to do with it. Also, selective breeding in captivity is artificial selection, not natural selection. What makes captive snakes easier to tame is having human exposure and captive care conditions from birth.
