Anyway for the record I know and am not afraid of getting pooed on, but hoping it doesn't become a frequent thing which obviously it won't since snakes don't poo everyday. Hadn't even considered urate.

Seems like alot of mixed feelings in this thread, but now I'm leaning towards a ball python.

Kingsnake fans make your rebuttals!
Seeing as I keep both species, and will continue to keep both species as long as I am in the hobby, I won't dissuade either.

Kings are easier as far as husbandry and feeding.
BPs are easier to handle since they are so darn slow by comparison, especially as juveniles.
The list of pros and cons will vary person to person.
It really comes down to which animal you want to care for for at least 15 years.
