I'm a brand spanking new owner and I went with a BP. I don't regret it at all. BPs are amazing and have their own unique charm that's different than colubrids. Haha their finicky eating habits and husbandry are more of a challenge than kings or corns but I honestly enjoyed getting everything together and creating my own little box of BP paradise. It's a great educational experience.
A very kind user on here pointed out that every snake is different so there's different ways of approaching issues such as feeding and handling. You just have to find what works best for YOUR snake. I'm still learning how to read Buddy and figure out if he's scared or comfortable, etc.
One thing I will say is that I think colubrids are way more tolerant of handling than BPs. BPs aren't usually aggressive as far as handling goes to my knowledge and I'm working on getting Buddy used to being touched by me, but I don't plan on taking him out and playing with him everyday. The best way to show my love for him is to leave him alone haha
I hope whichever one you pick is a great eater and is the perfect snake for you!
Thanks very muck Kath =), that's kind of inspiring ! My thoughts are very similar to yours, I'm still deciding but I think I'll go with the bp afterall ! Thank u once more =)
