I've owned pretty well every type of python we have and have found BHP's in general to be one of the most consistent good handlers but that's not to say i haven't heard of others with ones that will have a bite.I have found coastals to be the most unpredictable and recently found that womas are very very similar to bhp's in being handled it's just that both when young tend to be all huff n puff n full of bluff which can put a few people off.I've had many diamonds and they all handled well,i've had Port Mac intergrades that were nasty things,i've had water pythons that were also nasty however they were the NT form but have never been bitten by a QLD water python and they're a gorgeous python and way underrated.

If money is a concern maybe go for a blonde mac and hand pick it yourself so you yourself can judge it's temperament.There will always e exceptions to the rule where people own what are recommended as the most placid of snakes that bite but overall i have to say BHP's and Womas.You can get very tame jungles but they're a bit unpredictable as well but always remember or don't forget how strong the feeding responses are even of the most placid natured snaks so wash your hands etc before handling..hope that helps!!!
