As far as them getting used to there invironment and being cool with you... Balls are mainly nocturnal so they dont do a whole lot during the day. As far as them being comfortable with you well there snakes. lol I would recomend buying one from a known breeder that breed there own stock. Most pet shops sell balls that were taken out of the wild from eggs and hatched in captivity. Those are the ones that people usually have the toughest time with eating habits and temperment. Sometimes you can find a pet shop that actually gets theres from breeders but unless the shop knows for sure i would definitly recomend buying from a breeder. You do have to keep in mind that reptiles were never meant to be "pets". Atleast in my mind and they should always be treated and handled with caution and respect. There is always that chance of getting bit etc. Not that a ball could inflict the damage that a large constrictor could but you still have to make sure you give that snake the respect it deserves.

Sorry i made this so long. I have problems with cutting to the chase! lol

Good luck man, hope i could help in some way!
