Snakes

Today I'll be writing about snakes, particurarly the ball python.

Snakes are some of my favorite animals because they are great and many are quite tame and refrain from striking you.

One of my favorite snakes is the ball python. They originate from west africa however are often bred in captivity all over the world. Their Temprament is great, they keep at a relatively small size and are quite beautiful and are found in many different "paint jobs" or morphs, the only real thing that is a pain about these animals is they are super pickey eaters.

The reason why their temprament is amazing is because they prefer to curl up into a ball instead of striking hence the name ball python. So if you fear snakes their is little to no reason to fear these, especially if they are interacted with often.

Their size is great because the males get about 2-4 ft and females get slightly larger with 4-5 ft you may say well that's about as long as a child is tall well these snakes love to curl upinto a ball and enjoy small spaces infact they get stressed when put into too large of a tank. So the amount of space they take up inst any worry.

Now to my favorite thing their colors. These snakes come in many different patterns, infact their are too may to name however some are my favorites are the pastel, banana and champagne. Those are basic morphs however there are designer morphs which is when you breed two different morphs or a designer snake with another designer.My favorite designer morphs are the super pastel banana which is a super pastel,which is two pastels bred together, bred with a banana. My other favorite desiigner morph is the lavender yellow belly which is the albino lavender bred with a yellow belly. All these will be pictured below

Before I mentioned the about their eating habits, this can be a pain because some refuse to eat frozen thawed and only eat live or will only eat rats not mice. Some just won't eat unless their conditions unless they are feeling perfectly
