So im involved in the BSA and if I can get ther really hard to get high rank of Eagle my dad will let me get a GTP. He is still sort of scared every time my BPs jerk around or feed. So i dont want to set him off from snakes. Thats why i wanted to find a more docile type. Also would it be better to get a neonate or yearling? I really want the experience of raising the snake from a neonate and seeing His/her color change but if its too hard or not good for the snake i would have to decide.
