Mate, pick one you like the look of, and get a hatchie or yearling. They will most likely bite you at first, it does not hurt in the slightest, and you will learn the snakes behaviour and moods from a younger age, so that the chance of you getting bitten in the future once they are bigger is minimalised. My first snake, a stimmy, never struck once, other than at food, for 8 years. So I was nervous getting my 8mth hatchie bredli. But after 3mths handling the bredli, I'm used to the love bites - it's not even a question of not liking it when it happens. And if I get tagged once he's 7-8ft? Tough bikkies... it hurts when my 60kg mastiff steps on my toes as well. It's part of owning them.
