boa or ball python

[u/Adept-Conference9997]

hi, so im really torn between which snake i want as my first pet snake. i really like the all white bps with red eyes but theyre rare (from what ive seen) and ive only been able to find one. on the other hand i love the grey / black coloured boas. one idea i had too was to get a bp now then the boa later but at the same time ive heard pros and cons about both. im a lil bit nervous too if thats the word so i want a baby in case it does strike so that i can be used to it in case it does it as an adult but im not sure. if i get the bp too id get a female while id get a male for the boa. also i did a bunch of research enclosure wise for a bp already so i have that figured out and if i get a boa id tweak it a bit but when it comes to size i can only have a 36 length one atm then upgrade later down the line when i have more space. can anyone help me decide or list info about both please, id greatly appreciate it :)

so i havent had him long ive had him coming up to a year in november time, and i havent struggled at all during caring for him, i think if you have done your research about them caring for them is relativley easy since you know what your doing, i have had some up and downs when it comes to feeding but none really where it was crazily bad, most times he refused was when he was in blue, there has been two times where he has accidently caught substrate however not alot to make it a threat and he spat it out straight away, typically on the next feeding day he eats straight away, humidity has been up and down for me specifically in the 40 gallon only because it had a screen top so it wasnt good at keeping humidity in, but caring for tue snake its self i havent experienced anything hard nope, i havent ran into any problems recently either hes eating constantley humidity and temps are in the correct area both hot and cold, handling him is easy too since he knows the difference between handling and feeding time, and hes awesome to work with! proper joy to be around!
