I have a 6 year old female who is 6 feet long. She's always been very easy to care for, easy to handle, docile, and easy to feed since I bought her at 2 years old. They are burrowing snakes and love to burrow as deep as the substrate you provide them. They drink a lot of water. They're nice and straightforward snakes, and a good size. Very sedentary species, they tend to just chill on the couch or lay in your lap and stay there.
I don't think there is any "bad/ugly" really!
