Re: Should I get a ball or carpet? Advice for noob.
I've experienced both! And boas.
Ball pythons are definitely great for starting out. They help you get used to handling snakes while being slower, docile, and small.
Carpets and boas are good for second snakes. Carpets because they are very fast and can be difficult to handle when they get their mind set on escaping, but they are VERY cool and do make great display snakes. Boas because they tend to be very dense bodied snakes, so they can be more difficult to manipulate (unless you get the smaller boas that only get around 3ft). Sometimes boas can be a little more aggressive when they're hungry, whereas ball pythons will usually only strike if they smell food.
Either way, all three make great pets, but ball pythons are definitely the easiest as far as husbandry and stress (carpets are a little more prone to RI from temperature fluctuations, especially IJ's).
So in the end it really comes down to what you think you're prepared to handle. As somebody else recommended, see if you can visit others with adult versions of each and see what you find the most easy to deal with.

All snakes will Tollerate handling when you teach them from a young age. Iv seen many puppy dog tame GTP/ETB's all depends on what you are capable of!
