I really want to get into big snakes in a few years, so, I have been reading up, for several months, on how to prepare for getting a giant snake. From what I have read most people believe that it is best to start off with a "medium" sized snake, and many of them suggested getting a bcc. So, I started researching bcc boas and some how stumbled upon carpet pythons, which seemed to fit what I was looking for. I love both of these types of snakes! However, I do let people handle my animals so the deciding factor is... which species has a better temperament?
