k i was just waiting for a mod to move it.. either way they are very calm. though even males are a big step up from balls in size. i got mine when i only had 2 bps and i knew what i wanted and i got it. even normal bci's have amazing colors and patterns. the only problem is what youre gonna have access to feeding them when they reach the fully mature size. you can use websites to purchase food but food of that size is obviously very expensive... the enlosures are also very large so you need to make sure you have the space for a full grown not to mention the stepping stone enclosures to get to the last one. (putting a baby red tail in a 2x2x4 is obviously silly)
that being said... they are amazing animals to keep and very easy to keep healthy as well. they are a voracious animal and usually dont turn down mealsbut you need to make sure you quarantine them very well. IBD moves very slow through their system so you may think they dont have it but when you bring it into your snake room all your ball pythons contract it.
