Ball Python Enclosures

The Ball Python (Python regius) is mainly a terrestrial species of constricting snake native to the diverse regions of eastern, central, and western Africa. Several studies have confirmed that they will often use trees to climb and hunt. In the wild, they are most often found in semi-arid grasslands, forests, and near agricultural areas, sheltering in animal burrows, hollow logs, and occasionally termite mounds.

Due to the imported African farm-raised Ball Pythons as well as captive breeding, the Ball Python today enjoys immense popularity by pet keepers/enthusiasts and the hobbyists/breeders that selectively breed them for their many color and pattern variations commonly referred to as morphs. As each new morph emerges, collectors and breeders will often sell them for several thousands of dollars, and sometimes, tens of thousands of dollars and this has created a cottage industry of literally thousands of home based breeders that can make a living and in some rare cases, even make a lot of money by breeding and selling new color/pattern ball python morphs.  

Today they are arguably the World's most popular pet snake, as Ball Pythons do make excellent pets due to their small size and temperament and here we have our recommendations on suitable enclosures for them.
