Re: what can i expect when i have a BP
Just make sure you buy a good eater /feeder .. ideally buy off someone who’s been recommended to you .
A healthy , good feeding Royal can be as great as you allow .. they’re great to handle ( for anyone and everyone) as they are so placid and slow moving .
I get mine out , sit down and let them crawl over my lap /legs and just keep directing it back on to me / after a few minutes they normally just settle down and rest on me whilst a watch a bit of telly
If it’s in a tub / viv with just a hide and a water bowl it probably won’t be very interesting but put a load of branches in and they will explore and climb all through the evening ( branches from woods or local parks )

Can you be a bit more specific?
What questions are you looking for answers to?
What are you hoping for out of a pet BP?

Their temperaments are 99% friendly though aren’t they ?
In all my years I’ve never come across a bitey Royal .. some great feeders but never one I wouldn’t trust

correct. all of ours are friendly. we have one that lazily hisses at us occasionally but that's it.

You've not met my snakes. I have two that are quite bitey. One will bite even when held, the other only bites in the cage. But it does try to strike me on a regular basis through the glass! Most are mellow, I think these are not the norm with BPs. Out of 13 snakes (11 bp and 2 corn) they are my aggressive ones. I have a pair of leather gloves I put on plus a sweatshirt to cover my arm if I have to do anything inside the cages for them, not a big deal.
I agree that some more specific questions would be helpful. If you wanting to know what their like in the day time just put a stuffed animal in a tank. They move about the same during the day anyways :P If you are a late night or real early morning person you can catch them moving around. I usually wake up between 3-4 AM and catch the tail end of my snakes being active. They can be picky eaters at times. I love watching them eat though.
