BPs are awesome. They are a great low maintenance pet. Just be forewarned that they are not like cats or dogs. They often are hiding and only (usually) come out late in the night (mine comes out anywhere from 11pm-4am). They are pretty calm and "friendly". Although I would not think so around feeding or when my BP exhibits hungry behavior.

Overall a BP is great if you want a unique pet with minimum maintenance and contact. Do even more reading to be sure you want one, they can live to be 20+ years old. Make sure you are stable enough to afford all the expenses (food, husbandry, and caging requirements) for much time to come.
