Yes, way more interesting snakes to keep, IMO. Same for rat snakes. No offense to ball pythons, but this is why people joke & call them "pet rocks" by comparison.
So bull snakes love to burrow...you could give him a large deep box full of something like Carefresh to tunnel thru. When I kept bull & gopher snakes, I got a few large
terra cotta strawberry pots*...the kind with little "balconies" all around the main large body of the pot. I fastened the pot to a base so the snake couldn't tip it as they get
easily strong enough, but my snakes LOVED climbing in & out the holes on those pots. You can also provide various "tunnels" (cardboard or PVC pipes/elbows). Or you
can make a large ladder (out of wood dowels, tree branches or bamboo) to lean inside his larger cage when he's out of quarantine...make the "ladder" very wide, not
vertically narrow.
Like these*
