The ball python (Python regius), also known as the royal python,is a python species found in sub-Saharan Africa. Like all other pythons, it is a nonvenomous constrictor.The name "ball python" refers to the animal's tendency to curl into a ball when stressed or frightened.
My pyhton is a female, i buy her in august 2016 when she have 5 years, she was born 31.7.2011.
Before her, I had experience with other snakes, many people condemn them, thinking that they are creatures of the devil, but it all can not be denied in the case when we talk about this type. This type is recommended for beginners, requires only a terrarium 80x40x40 (minimal dimensions) but my is 100x50x50and a light bulb that you use is heated in winter.There are many snake morphs is determined by the color of the snakes, she is normal morph.
She eat mouse, i give her every 15-20 days, 4-5 pieces, and she is ok for next 15 days. Be sure to get a big bowl of water in which she will be able to enter and to cool
Given that the weak vision, uses his tongue by which checks the environment, this species is not aggressive, he never showed any form of aggression as I have already said in the case when the scare she curled into a ball.When the weather is warm we tend to take her out for a walk, where people are overwhelmed when they see even though it was for me quite ordinary pet such as dogs and cats, though I must admit that I was and I since I was little afraid of snakes but I am such that I love all fear to overcome, and here you see now, I could not imagine life without snakes.
Their appearance is not to be afraid, it will not really hurt anyone, my friends were also feared but as soon as you take a snake in his hand the fear disappears instantly, immediately notice that this is not exactly the way you learned from an early age. Ball pythons are small, do not grow more than 1,4-1,5m, my have 1.20m, all day hiding under the bark of the wood and that she spend most of her time, rarely investigates, mainly when it is out looking for food or bark go to the vessel with water to drink or chilled.Often you have to change the water because it has a tradition to carry out this necessity, although it generally only happens after digestion. Great width of the snakes sometimes affect it looks much larger than it really is. Although he recorded a very long lifetime of more than 50 years, are more common in cases of life expectancy between 15 and 25.
I plan to do for life keep a snake, perhaps even more of them, would recommend to everyone, very quickly you'll love just like me
