Im REALLY interested in getting a ball python... After interacting with one in my biology class i got hooked! i was originally looking at a boa... but after researching i decided on a BP... My question basically, is what should i know before adopting a BP? i know all the basics... feeding, housing, ect.. but is there anything further i should know? like temperment... how often can they be handled? are they okay without a lot of social interaction? how are they around a lot of people? that kind of stuff

Thanks!
