Feeding response has been compared to as that of a retic, a good eating retic. Not all retics are food disposals like people think...

Adult cage can be 4' x 2'. I've heard you can get away with a 3' x 2'.

They are nippy as youngsters but calm down when they get older. But you do need to interact with them.

Yep, they calm down and tame nicely. They make awesome pets after the first 6-12 months. My macklott's was the coolest snake I've owned.
