Tell me about ball pythons

A 40 gallon long (breeder tank) might be big enough. I plan on housing one in a tank like that hopefully in a few years.

If you haven't owned a snake before they are pretty easy more or less...though to me it is easier to house and own a snake that isn't tropical as a first snake, since their heating requirments and such are usually much much easier. And that gives you time to get used to owning a snake. But certainly not against owning one as a first snake either.
