Wild type, and honestly underrated — the pattern that every designer morph is measured against. Has defeated one latch already. We upgraded the enclosure. It is still thinking about it.

★ 4.9 (412 reviews)
Fourteen years, one rack room, and an unreasonable number of clown combos. Every animal ships with a feed log going back to its first meal, and we do not sell an animal that has not eaten five times in a row.
Feeding record
Taking frozen/thawed medium rat every 7 days. No refusals on record.
Keeping a Ball Python
The default answer to 'what snake should I get first', and for good reason: a ball python is a shy, slow, forgiving animal that would rather be a tight little ball than a problem. The morph market around them is the most developed in the hobby.
