| Ball Python / Royal Python scientific name: Python regius [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]Geographical Extension: West Africa; From Senegal to Uganda Habitat: from moist to dry savannah, crepuscular and nocturnal Size: approx. 130 cm Life Expectancy: over 20 years Reproduction: lays 4-8 eggs, incubation period at 29-31°C approximately 70 days. Temperature: ground temperature 26-28°C, local heat spots up to 33°C. Night setback to 20-23°C. Humidity: 60-80%, temporarily also above 90% Lighting: Daylight fluorescent tubes Substrate: loose, absorptive substrate. No grit or sand! Cage Furniture: climbing facilities, various hiding places and a large water bowl make up the basic configuration of the terrarium arrangements. A moist hiding box is recommended. Terrarium Size (for long term care): Minimum requirement 1x0.5x0.75 (LxWxH) of the overall length of the animal for one pair. We recommend at least 150x80x100 cm. Food: mice, young rats and other rodents. After familiarisation feeding with dead (frozen) feeding animals is possible. As a rule young animals eat their food without problems. If the snake refuses the food, a freshly killed mouse should remain in the terrarium over night. Other options would be to vary the food range and the situation. Comment: The Ball Python is a docile animal to conspecifics, several of them can be tended together without problems.
