Ball Python
Python regius
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.
Forgiving of a missed misting or a late feed.
