Pearl ball pythons are a small, colorful snake species that grow to only about 3 feet in length.

 

They are relatively easy to care for, but they have some special needs that aren’t always obvious to the novice snake owner.

 

Here are some things you should know before buying your first pearl ball python.

 

Some Characteristics of Pearl Ball Pythons

 

They’re very small

Pearl ball pythons may be named after their large size, but it’s not actually true.

 

They’re small snakes and can fit into the palm of your hand when fully grown.

 

If you’re used to handling larger snakes like corn snakes and kingsnakes, pearl balls will feel tiny in comparison.

 

They’re shy

Because of their small size and shy nature, many people who buy them as pets end up returning them because they don’t realize how challenging it is to care for a pet that doesn’t want to be handled or interacted with much at all.

 

This can be especially difficult if you’ve had experience with other snakes before getting one of these guys because they’re so different from other species.

 

They need heat

Since they are from sub-Saharan Africa, pearl balls do best when kept warm at about 80 degrees Fahrenheit during their active seasons (spring through fall).

Black pearl ball python, also known as Huffman Black Pastel is a small species of python that was first discovered in Africa.

 

The snake can be found in both eastern and western Africa, with some being found as far north as Egypt.

 

These snakes are often found near water sources such as rivers or lakes and feed on small mammals, birds, and other reptiles.

 

Black pearl ball pythons are not an aggressive species, but they do have a tendency to be nervous around new people or unfamiliar situations.

 

They are also very shy and will hide if they feel threatened by someone or something outside their enclosure.

 

Ball pythons will do best when kept in a large enclosure with plenty of hiding places for them to feel safe when they want to be alone, as well as an area where they can get out into the open and explore.

 

If you keep your ball python inside your home, it’s important that you have a large cage set up for them so they can get plenty of exercise and still feel comfortable enough to move around freely without feeling overwhelmed by space constraints.
