Ball Python Care Sheet
Housing: Ball pythons can be kept in a 30 or 40 gallon terrarium. You can also use a rack system for your ball python(s).
Décor: If you have a terrarium for a ball python you should have some leaves, at least two hides (one on cool side one on warm side). Also provide a water dish at all times and possibly some branches! If you have a rack system just have one hide and a water dish.
Substrate: Ball python’s bedding should be either reptile bark or shredded cypress. If you have a rack I would use either paper towel, newspaper, or the shredded cypress. Also have some damp moss in the terrarium.
Heating/Lighting: If you have a terrarium you should have a 75 watt light bulb during the day and a heat matt at night. If you have a rack system, a heat matt or heat tape is just fine!
Humidity: Ball python’s need a little bit of humidity. All you need to do is lightly mist your snakes tank about once every other day.
Shedding: Ball pythons shed about once every month or so, when they go into shed their skin becomes looser and their pattern becomes dull, also their eyes look cloudy. The shedding process takes about 5-7 days, limit handling during this time as it is stressful for the snake.
Food: Feed an appropriate sized mouse/rat every 7 days (once a week).
Size: Ball pythons get about 3 – 5 feet long but may get a little longer. They are more heavily bodied than colubrids (corn snakes etc.).
Lifespan: Ball pythons can live up to about 20 years most likely longer if cared for properly.
