I think its all about having the right expectations. getting things dialed in initially and getting comfortable handling with some regularity seem to key to connecting with any pet. If you are going to get a BP, they are relatively easy to keep, you just need to do it in snake time. handling a few times a week, at least at first seems to be decent recommendation. if you are willing to make the investment in the proper heating approach, get the humidity dialed in and feed weekly, they can be very rewarding! I think some folks get intimidated, don't develop trust and then avoid their BP. I like handling before feeding, getting them warmed up and then again in about two days... that has worked well for our BRB. If you enjoy getting into the zen, you'll enjoy owning a BP, they are fascinating creatures that will show personality if you are patient with them and give them a chance to "come out of their shell".
