    advice for ball python newbie

    hi everyone.

    im considering buying a royal python as a family pet.i will not be breeding it.
    i have never owned a snake before but do own a chameleon so understand the importance of temp and humidity.

    why do so many people put them down?
    many people are calling them slugs and are saying that there boring and not a snake that should be handled alot or for first time snake owners,yet i hear some people handle theres daily and say there great first time snakes.

    i know theres always going to be conflicting advice but what do you think?

    by me wanting a snake that has a good temperament and i can handle about 3/4 times a week.is a royal a good choice for me?

    do you think its rude to ask the breeder for a one with a good temperament?

    personality in a animal is a big plus for me and whats most important to me.i dont want to come across piccy or asking for too much to you all tho.i just dont want a royal thats aggressive and stressed being in my presence.it wouldnt be good experience for the snake or me.
    i know its a snake and im not expecting it to be puppy like.i just want one of the calmer ones so fingerscrossed.

    before i purchase the snake do you think the breeder/shop would mind me handling a few before i buy it??

    sorry for all the questions.i just feel its best to ask questions first and not after i have brought the animal like many people do.
