Same thing, different names. I believe the proper name is "Python Regius"

They're is no difference a both are python regius, the more formal name is Royal but people nicknamed it Ball because the often coil up and take the shape of a ball.

royal python, python regius and ball python are all different names for the same snake

[Lankyrob]

British tend to call it a Royal Python whereas US tend to call it Ball Python - exact same snake tho.
