I should've started with Red Tails

[Animals As Leaders]

I am the opposite. I am wishing I had started with the BP's. They have cooler morphs and are much smaller therefore easier to handle and they don't take up as much room. I do agree though that my RTB is an absolute sweetheart, she is extremely docile.

Just goes to show how EACH snake is different and it really doesn't matter of the type of snake it is. I would love to venture into red tails just because of there sheer beauty, and hopefully I get one like you that is nicely tempered. I hear that RTB's can be rather nippy too, but I don't believe that they are anymore nippy then ball's. Just depends on the snake. Its like some snakes are more programmed by there natural instincts then others, and have a harder time adapting to a "better" or "safer" way of living then what was given to them by nature. They got the "stick with what you know" attitude, nothing personal I don't think.
