and males seem to be a bit more agressive especially during breeding season

balls almost never show any agression of any sort....cept maybe during feeding time

besides.....burms get huge...20 foot plus in extreme cases....are you ready for a huge snake?

balls are docile, pretty, eat well, and only get 4-6ft at the most.....much better snake for a beginner
