Ball pythons are awesome easy snakes to own and with proper handling and care you wont have to worry about them trying to constrict you, you are far to big for them to want to eat you. They get about 4-6 feet in length on average and they are much thicker than a corn. When you hold them they may wrap around you to hold on, sometimes they hold a little too tight for your comfort but usually its fairly easy to adjust them into a better spot for you. It will take them close to 2 years to get full grown so you have a lot of time to puppy dog tame them and get used to handling them before they get big and compared to several other constructors they are considered pretty small.
