I think that is great to have an opinion but I also know that if I was in the OP's shoes I would consider the opinion of peoples that have enough experience to actually have experienced the pro and cons and you are not there yet. Trust me I love those animals, however I also know the cons of those animals.

Bottom line if a customer or potential customer casked me the same question than the OP did (to sum it up is a BP an ideal snake for a 4 year old?) I would not recommend a BP as a first snake, yet BP are what I do and that is because this is what I do that I know there are better snakes out there to fit the bill.
Well, despite whether he "likes" it or not, he leans into my hand when I rub his cheeks. It's very cute.

Are you saying I shouldn't share or comment on posts? I'm a little confused. This is a forum after all, which are meant for sharing and commenting on other people's posts. I know that ball pythons do have cons, one of them being that they are extremely sensitive to error as you mentioned.

Do you breed ball pythons, or keep them as pets?
