go for it!...Bulls are one of THE BEST colubrids out there in my opinion...they all huff n puff a bit when young, but it soon wears off with handling...and some continue to be vocal even as adults, but they very rarely bite...even when they strike it is usually very half hearted and normally ends up in a headbutt...my kids can hold all but two of mine, and one of them is only because he is too big...as Alison said keep them slightly cooler than you would corns, as they don`t like too much heat and become more defensive and highly strung when kept too warm...albino`s rarely get as big as wild types (well not from what i have seen) i think the largest albino i have seen was not that much over 6ft, you have to be confident with them as they WILL try their luck, and if the hissing and rattling etc intimidates you too much they will continue to do it, if your not comfortable getting them out by hand then just get a hook and gently pull them out of the viv and to your hand, once in your hands they may still hiss a little and continue to try rattling, but after a few handling sessions this generally stops, that said some of mine just hiss for the fun of it even when being handled...literally just hissing away as they climb around on me lol...
