I would say they are quite easy to keep, not as easy as corns but still easy.
I would recommend Jungle Carpet Pythons, Ball pythons and Hogg Island Boas as they don't grow too big and are quite easy to keep

Royals do have a reputation for bad feeders but I find it easy to get them back feeding, mostly just a matter of time before they start feeding again really or just trying a few methods to intice them back into feeding.

They're not difficult to get hold of really but they can be pricey. These are not ideal snakes for the novice keeper and are also not a handleable species.
Hogg island/crawl cay boas or some of the more colourful pythons such as rainbow boas may be on interest to you.

Well ETB's need a high humidity, much like the GTP's, which makes them more difficult to care for, but if you're genuinely interested in keeping and caring for a certain species then difficulty shouldnt really matter as it is a life-long commitment to take.

I'd say main difference between corns and boas / pythons is their bite.
Corns don't really have much in the way of teeth, where boas and pythons have pretty nasty teeth, especially the arboreal varieties. Emerald tree boas are supposed to be for hte experienced, not to say you're not fit to keep one, but thats the rule. I'm only ever going to work with semi arboreal or arboreal so am starting off with jungle carpets and going from there. Will eventually have GTP's and ATB's
