They'd be great based on size & appearance, but so far, difficult...better for advanced keepers, from what I've read. I think most are w/c too, so they'll be heavily-parasitized & you'd better have some savings for the exotic vet. I hope more ppl will keep working with them though, to get them figured out.
BTW, Aussie spotted pythons are NOT imported, they're c/b (captive bred) right here in the states- & that generally means a much better pet experience, with a healthy snake that's not parasitized & in need of vet care & which may not survive despite best efforts.
Most are wild caught, but there a few CBB on morph market for very reasonable prices that I just saw (and want) today; that's why I bring them up. Though, they would not make a good first snake, you're right about that.
