Ball Python
Python regius
- They may also be referred to as "Royal Pythons," or "Regal Pythons."
- The natural range of the Ball Python is western Africa to central Africa, just north of the equator. It can be found in open forests, as well as drier savannahs.
- Ball Pythons generally live 10 years in the wild, and often 20-30 years in captivity (the record is 47 years).
- Ball Pythons are carnivores, and kill their prey by constricting it. Younger, smaller snakes can be fed baby mice. Larger snakes are fed adult mice, rats, or young chickens.
