If you are an experienced ball python owner and you have done your homework you should be fine , they are great snakes with plenty of character and basically a very large python in a shorter body lol

They can be very hissy and snappy at 1st as hatchlings but like most animals the bigger they get the more confident they are and most will calm right down with regular handling.

They absolutely love to soak so big water dishes are a must and this helps with shedding and humidity. They have large heads and an amazing sneaky stare that only they can pull off its like the painting with the eyes that follow you around the room.

As has been said get from a reputable breeder and get it young they grow fast eat like a pig and require patience and regular handling as they grow , you want to be confident when handling not nervous or jumpy as you will prob get bitten and they bite far harder with the same gusto as they do when feeding I have the pics to prove it The confidence will come as your snake grows and you become accustomed to its character and habits etc

All that aside its not a huge jump but it is a significant one as they do require more focus and attention when handling than any royal usually and as has been said they are less forgiving of husbandry errors.

My advice .......get two cause one wont be enough
