I'm probably gonna get crap for this, but it is my opinion. Get the snake you want, if you decide to go with a slightly more aggressive snake (and nothing I've heard mention was super agressive accept for the Rat Snake which was more informational than suggestive), just get an adult that's been handled and cared for properly. If you aren't interested in rare morphs, and nothing I heard mentioned is extremely rare and most are carried in atleast some pet stores, then you can usually always pick up an older morph that someone is no longer interested in owning. I'm not saying buy from a pet store. God knows that's not a good idea, but what I'm saying is that the animals are around. So you can find them cheaper as adults rather than if you were looking for say a male ultra melanistic ball python. An older pet snake is going to be calmer which takes away the worry of it being aggressive and finicky on feeding. Just make sure you handle it first make sure it's not aggressive. The problem with by a snake completely off of temperment and ease of care is the one thing no one considers. You may not like it and in 6 months to a year when you get used to handling and caring for snakes you don't want it anymore.
