^This. There have been plenty of new keepers starting with ball pythons as their first snake and being successful because they put the time and dedication to thoroughly research beforehand instead of rushing when they weren’t ready. Once you learn what is necessary for their care and understand what to expect, their husbandry is very straightforward. Just don’t cut corners and dive in without being prepared. Research, research, research!
Not to mention I always felt it was unfair to the snakes considered “beginner friendly” for new owners just to settle for them as a mere stepping stone in experience.
