They seem to be pretty hardy too. My 4 year old handles both of my snakes and while his favorite is the corn snake (I think due to the size) the ball is the one he LOVES to watch. If a 4 year old can handle the animals, they are hardy in my book. But then again, he was taught at a very YOUNG age to be gentle as we used to have a guinea pig, who was NOT hardy.
BP's can also be tempermental, meaning the first 2 weeks we had Jake, he did not eat. Freaked me out a bit, so I came on here, got some great advice, and now he's eating great.
Once I figured out how to handle, feed, temp guide, and keep the humidity up, he has been easy to pie.
Hence my point... most newbies don't know/care for this.
