Are you shying away from a rosy because you heard they can be "nippy"? It sounds like you may be overlooking a great snake due to misinterpretation. They stay small and generally quite docile. There are always acceptions but I believe most references to nippy rosies refers to babies with strong feeding responses. With regular handling they can easily become one of the calmest and docile of adult snakes. Hope this is helpful.
