Ball pythons are the world's most popular pet snake, known for their docile temperament and incredible morph variety.
Babies: small tub (30x20cm). Adults: 60x45cm+ enclosure. Hot spot: 30-32C via belly heat. Cool side: 25-27C. Humidity: 50-60% (70%+ during shedding).
Frozen-thawed mice or rats matching the snake's widest point. Babies: weekly. Adults: every 10-14 days. Thaw in warm water (~40C) and offer head-first with tongs.
Ball pythons are prone to fasting. Seasonal fasting (winter) is normal if weight is maintained. Try warming prey, reducing prey size, or adding hiding spots.
Bri-Choku breeders offer ball pythons with known feeding histories and morph genetics.
