The ball pythons I have are rescues. One is a WC - a 6 or 7 year captive. He has an AMAZING feeding response and only doesn't eat when he's in shed - but I'm sure he would, I just don't offer. My other male is a little sketchy when it comes to food. He refuses usually ever two or three weeks, for a two or three week period. The longest he has gone without food is about a month and a half.
As for ball pythons not being active, I find that to be untrue. Both of my ball pythons are extremely active in their cages at night. They are also very comfortable being held and will crawl all over if I let them. Of course, during the day they are hidden - but what else do you expect from a nocturnal animal? I only handle mine once every two or three weeks and they seem to do great on that schedule. Ball pythons are sometimes very shy.
I'd say go for the ball python. I love mine to death! They are interesting and beautiful and all around great snakes, IMO. They are very underrated.
