Re: Meet Aries, spotted python.
I've considered Antaresia a few times, may end up with one or a pair eventually. One of the few genera that are actually fine being housed as a pair in the same enclosure long-term rather than placed together for breeding.
Bites are an occupational hazard of keeping snakes, but IME they're few and far between. Usually a single incident from each animal that has bitten me, and most often because I was careless about handling a rodent before handling the snake or feeding by hand rather than with forceps or tongs.
