Ball pythons are the most popular pythons kept as pets. This is probably because the snake is smaller, looks attractive, and is low maintenance. An adult ball python can have a length between two and five feet. They can live to around 30 or so years. Should you choose ball pythons to be your animal companion, then you will need to prepare. The enclosure dimensions have to be 36 x 18 x12 inches. You also want to have a basking temperature of 88 to 96 degrees Fahrenheit with ambient temperatures maintained above seventy-five degrees. The ideal humidity level to keep this snake is about fifty to sixty percent. Your snake will like to eat rats on a weekly basis. The rodents must be around the size of the reptile’s widest circumference and may even eat only about half as it normally would during the winter. Always provide the snake clean water to be used for drinking and for bathing as ball pythons will want to do some soaking in the water.
Any concern you may have about your pet’s diet should be brought to the attention of your animal hospital North Dallas, TX.
