Smile hello, I'm new! What do you think of ball pythons?

Hi, I just joined today, after a few weeks of reading to do research to get my first snake. I went with a Ball Python, because they seem to be the most docile. What do you guys think of ball pythons?

I love the information I was able to find about them from the other members, Thank you

Welcome!

To answer your question, I find ball pythons to be the most mundane and boring snake species, but that is my opinion.

There are many more snakes that can be just as docile and easy to keep.

Ball pythons are nice pets to have. None of mine are pet rocks.

Ball pythons make great beginner snakes as long as you are prepared to make the enclosure work for you rather than against. Too many people get one and put it in a fish tank wondering why the humidity is too low.

A tub or a vivarium and you are golden
