Hello. I'll answer your questions in the order asked:
Are bulls good beginner snakes?
Yes! They are rarely problem feeders (actually usually at the other end of the spectrum) They take handling well and get to be a nice size
How long/big do they grow?
There are some "dwarf" races that stay around four feet and then there are some texas monsters that can hit the 8-9 foot mark. Average is probably more like 5-6 feet.
How are the temperaments from captive bred specimens?
You are generally going to see the hatchlings be hissy and huffy but no worries, this is just instinct. Most quickly calm down and handle quite well.
How active are they compared to kingsnakes?
I would say that if anything they may be slightly more active than kingsnakes but not much if at all.
I hope that helps some. I'm running short on time so if I missed something or you have another question just let me know! Take care.
Jeremy
