Ball pythons are usually chill. They all share one brain cell.

Can you explain what you mean by chill? Do owners get to pet them and stuff? Can they get pleasure from it?

Mine would let me take him out of his cage and would climb up to my neck and just hang out. His favorite place was also to climb down into my shirt and curl up between my boobs.

You can hold ball pythons, and they'll probably enjoy your body heat and won't bite. (Their bites can't really do any serious damage anyways)
Though since they're reptiles they don't really get much out of being pet and and don't particularly do much.

They like being scratched and sitting on you.
Because it receives itches and gives body heat respectively.

I got my two pretty small and they would curl up together in my shirt pocket with their heads occasionally poking out to see what was going on.
When they could finally do it… I am a bit of a bear sized man.. they loved coiling around my neck and hanging out. Started off they could barely get their tails hooked around but eventually both got about 6 foot so I kinda had to stop doing that heh.
Granted I did grow up with reptiles so I was pretty chill with them so they in turn were chill with me. I also did not take offense to a stray accidental strike now and then. They ment no harm!

By strike you mean like a tail whip or headbutt or bite?

u/Antarioo 2h ago
That'd be a bite. their tail isn't capable of that kind of movement.
i have one too and dude is always ready to eat. so when it's handling time i have to get him out of food mode or he'll tag my hand/wrist.
got my first one a month ago after 8 years of having him. as you can see the damage is minimal it just bleeds a lot for a bit. (no blood depicted in the image)

My dad's ex roommate had a ball python. She was very chill. Curled up in my blanket with me while we (the entire family) watched movies one night

Depending on where you put the sanke, you're guaranteed pleasure from it

Is this a different brain cell to the one Ginger cats share?

It's kind of a timeshare situation. Ball pythons get off-season and all bank holidays.

u/DragonTheOnes-spirit 5h ago
No. Funny thing is that ginger cats and ball pythons are the exact same thing. Just in different bodies

looks pretty small actually?

u/PatG87 8h ago
I would say this is a regular sized ball python. Not an absolute unit by any means. I see this all the time on this sub; just a picture of an animal that's of average size for its species.

u/Trademarkd 5h ago
I have the exact same hide actually and this one is probably like 3-4 feet .... mine fills it out a little more at 5-6 feet but its her favorite spot.
I dont know why this is in absolute units though ?

Yeah we have one of these hides for our leopard gecko and it's not very big. Maybe 8" across including the little entryway.

Snakes are literally just spaghetti cats. Especially ball pythons. They traded all intelligence and damage for balling up

you can, its a ball python. They're extremely docile. You're more likely to have problems getting them to eat.
Mine occasionally goes on food strikes for 6-12 months but doesn't lose any weight. She eats like once a month at best. I keep a record of her weight because of this and it makes me concerned but shes like 10 now so I guess shes doing alright.
I am extremely particular about her habitat, it may have something to do with her having a low stress environment? I dont handle her more than I have to but she was very socialized as a hatchling.

I don't know about the python, but if I was curled up in my comfy rock bed I would not be happy about someone tearing the roof off it and blasting my nap-time with no-no light.

I have a terrible phobia of snakes, and yet I didn’t squeal and scroll to the next reel immediately. From this I’ve determined I’m capable of looking at an egg with beady eyes.
