Why Ball Pythons Should Be Your Next Choice

Ball pythons have garnered a reputation for being extremely docile and calm. Their small size, weekly feedings, and ease of handling are just a few reasons why ball pythons should be your next choice. They’re especially perfect for beginners and people who need convincing that not all snakes are deadly predators. Captive-bred pythons make great pets with their easy-going nature but knowing a few tips can help you and your exotic pet snake adapt better.

Regardless of how well-behaved a snake is, it’s important to know when to handle it. Keep in mind that snakes are not like dogs or cats. They don’t like to always  be held. Also, it is a good idea to get your ball python to eat at least once before attempting any extensive handling. You don’t want to handle it right after it’s eaten either. Wait about two days to keep your ball python comfortable. In regards to how often it should be fed, stick to once a week to keep stress levels to a minimum.

If you’re getting a ball python, understand that their lifespan requires a long-term commitment. It’s completely possible for them to live for decades. This is something you need to prepare for. Although ball pythons are known for being low maintenance, they still require an attentive level of care. Look out for a ball python that lays straight or keeps it’s head up. It also shouldn’t spend too much time soaking, wheezing or a bloody stool can also mean problems.

Pay attention to your ball python and keep it comfortable for a long, healthy life.
