bloods are not for a beginner in most cases imo, as they are less forgiving than most other python species popular in the pet trade. The things you get away with with balls etc can cause problems with bloods, hence the opinion in some cases that a more experienced eye is required to reduce the chances of problems occurring.
that being said I believe any person that does their homework and is fully committed to providing what they require should be able to look after them and provide them a with healthy environment.
A lot of people however, do not either have the experience,or don't make it a priority to learn what they should. It is good to see people posting to find out info and opinions rather than impulse buy with no prior knowledge.
As far as what to choose if you doubt or don't think your ready for a blood and are pulling towards a carpet I would go with the carpet and get more experience again which is only going to make it easier when you do decide on a blood 100%.
