i am looking to get a reptile, my first!!! and i have heard that corns snakes and snakes like that are good but i also heard ball pythons were good and i like them more because they are fatter and bigger!!

i know the care for them.

now to the question... i think that they are nocturnal correct me if i am wrong, so they wont be at during the day so although they look really nice you will ever see them am i correct? and they prob dont like to be disturbed during they day, so why do people like them if i know then i might get one? also how often do they bite? and how often can you handle them?

thanks!
