I appreciate the info. As for the handling, my snakes are babies and the Sand Boa and Spotted Python actually try to climb back onto my hand when I go to put then away. And sometimes they'll curl up on my chest and stay there while I'll watch TV. The Ball Python shes can be the hand shy one, but she has REALLY become a great pet. She has tried to bite one time, but now, instead of being balled up and timid, when shes in my hand she loves to stretch out and look around. After I feed them I dont handle them for 36-48 hours. I know their stomachs can be very sensitive so I choose not to disturb them and let them digest in peace, and with no stress on them. The care for a BRB is the other part that would make it interesting to care for them. I'm home alot, and when I work I have the same schedule every week. So no worries about not being there to care for them. Knowing heat adjustment, ect are very important for these guys. Thanks again for the info!

As far as those requirements, there are plenty of care sheets out there so I won't rehash all that info. As far as temperament, like all snakes, babies can be nippy but with regular handling (2-5 times a day with ANY snake is too much) they can become tame. Snakes should not be handled more than a few minutes every couple days and never for at least 24 hours after feeding to prevent a regurgitation of the meal. Mine is not the least bit head shy and has never even tried to strike. Hope this helps!
