My ball is my first snake and we are doing great. However, I'm nearly 30 lol. I think balls make great first snakes as long as you do your research and know what to expect. The only reason I can think of that they may not be good for a young'n is that they can be a bit .... well, boring for lack of a better word. They are very shy and you won't see much of them in their enclosure apart from feeding time. That, and they are nocturnal so they will be hidden during the daytime. Corns tend to be a bit more active and are diurnal so you get to see them moving around their enclosure a bit more. But overall I think both are great choices. Balls definitely help teach patience for sure lol.
I got my girl at about 2.5 months old and she has never been nippy with me, but that's just one individual.
