Ball Python

A ball python (Python regius) is a non-venomous snake native to West and Central Africa. It is known for its docile temperament and its habit of curling into a tight ball when it feels threatened. 🐍

Ball pythons have a stout, heavy body with a small, triangular-shaped head. Their scales are typically a dark brownish-black with a pattern of light-colored markings. They have a pair of heat-sensing pits on their upper lip, which they use to find their prey.

Ball pythons are found in a variety of habitats, including grasslands, savannas, and woodlands. They are carnivores and their diet consists of a wide variety of small animals, including rodents and birds.

Ball pythons are a nocturnal species that are most active at night. They are known for their docile and calm demeanor, which has made them a popular pet. When they feel threatened, a ball python will curl into a tight ball with its head in the center, which helps to protect its vulnerable head and neck from predators.
