I speak from personal experience with captive bred animals, as well as at least a dozen other experienced keepers who have worked with cbb bloods. It's not about doing research, it's about putting it into practice and making sure you have enough actual experience.

Especially if the OP's mom is going to be caring for them, I would look into Antaresia, milk snakes, or corn snakes.
