G'day Saikrett, I've got 1.1 Bts of the northern banded type. I find them to be reasonably easy to care for, though sometimes a little fussy towards feeding. I recommend a large enclosure for them as they are very active, as tall as possible so they can climb. Also they seem to like a fairly humid environment, put a bowl of water under the heater and also at the cool end. They enjoy soaking occasionally.
I dont think their bite would be anything too painful but can't say from experience as I've not been bitten,yet. I rarely handle mine as they can get a bit flighty.
Overall they are great snakes to keep and look really striking. Far more active than pythons and quick moving.
Hope this helps a little.
