They require very simple care, but they can in some cases be picky with food which can be hard to deal with for a new reptile owner. If that’s something you don’t want to potentially deal with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"91a5\" class=\"hl hm fv hn b ho if hp hq hr ig hs ht hu ih hv hw hx ii hy hz ia ij ib ic ie dn gs\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\"\u003eBall pythons require very basic care. They need a 40-gallon tank as an adult, but as babies will do just fine in a 20-gallon. You’ll need a hide with a heat pad (not a lamp, remember, belly heat!) and a bowl with fresh water. Also make sure to include a humid hide, and monitor your snake’s humidity levels. Around 55% humidity will likely be ideal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"df32\" class=\"hl hm fv hn b ho if hp hq hr ig hs ht hu ih hv hw hx ii hy hz ia ij ib ic ie dn gs\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\"\u003eThe more places you can give your snake to hide out in, the happier it will be. These animals don’t get much larger than 3 or 4 feet long, but they will explore a larger environment if given one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"202f\" class=\"hl hm fv hn b ho if hp hq hr ig hs ht hu ih hv hw hx ii hy hz ia ij ib ic ie dn gs\" data-selectable-paragraph=\"\"\u003eAs mentioned before, one of the biggest beginner misconceptions about ball pythons is that they are easy to feed, and will take food on schedule. Your ball python may be a picky eater, and you may need to go through a few mice before they eat. This is the main drawback of keeping a ball python as a beginner pet, but if you give your snake a good environment and proper care, they are more likely to eat when you try to feed them. Your ball python may never be a picky eater.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"alternative pet universe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31457434370159,"sku":"","price":79.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0017\/8035\/1087\/products\/ball_python.jpg?v=1633997989","url":"https:\/\/alternativepetuniverse.com\/products\/ball-python-1","provider":"Alternative Pet Universe ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
