No. Ball pythons rarely exceed 5ft. Most males max out around 4ft.

You need to never hear anything from the person that told you that ever again

Ball pythons absolutely do not reach 8 feet.
Op, go with a super dwarf retic or a coastal carpet python.

Re: 6-8 foot python?
I'd say almost any Carpet Python would do. White Lipped Pythons are also cool, I've been considering getting one.

I would just like to point out White Lipped Pythons are far from a beginner snake. They should never be suggested as one. I am sure you mean know harm, but the last thing you would want is to tell a newbie to snakes to start with something that has mood swings like Blood pythons and the speed of a Scrub pythons. White Lipped are better suited for some one with at a couple years experience.

Re: 6-8 foot python?
I'd say carpets would be the best in that range, especially for beginners.
