Ball Pythons
Ball Pythons
Ball Pythons or Python regius are amazing pets that originate from Africa. Today they come in many different morphs, and colors. When you get a ball python, you get a long-term friend. On average they can get between 3-5' long and can live 25+ years.
Ball Python Care
Provide a large enclosure, with a 4'x2'x2' tank being a good size for an adult. Ensure the enclosure is secure to make the snake feel safe, which encourages movement and feeding. Multiple hides (one warm, one cool), climbing opportunities, and foliage will help your snake feel comfortable. Use loose substrate that retains humidity, such as coconut fiber, or a mix of organic topsoil and sand. Spot clean waste as needed. If you make the enclosure bioactive, you clean much less.
Create a warm side in the enclosure, with a basking spot at 90−92∘F and an ambient temperature of
80−85∘F. The cool side should be kept between
70−80∘F. Use a thermostat to regulate heating.
Humidity: Maintain 40−60% humidity, increasing to around 70%during shedding. A hygrometer is needed to measure humidity levels
Provide a day/night cycle by having lights on for 12 hours and off for 12 hours. Some research suggests that low-wattage UVA/UVB lighting can also be beneficial. Use a heating element with no light, like a ceramic heat emitter, for nighttime heating to avoid disturbing your snake.
Include clutter like cork bark, branches, and plants to help the snake feel secure and encourage natural behaviors like climbing.
Provide a large water bowl that the snake can soak in, changing the water frequently. Feed your ball python appropriately sized prey, such as rats or mice, based on its age and size.

New forever home must provide documentation that they are going to be housed in an appropriate size enclosure (minimum of a 4' x 2' x 2' as an adult with appropriate hides, lighting, heating and enrichment.)
New owner should have knowledge in up to date animal husbandry practices.
I hand raise the babies from the time they come out of the egg, to make sure they will make great pets. A 50% deposit is required to reserve the baby, and it won't go to it's forever home till I am confident it is ready.
