A secure and appropriately sized enclosure with proper heating and humidity is essential. Many keepers prefer glass terrariums or plastic tubs with secure lids. You can these depending on their size:
Hatchling: 6L Megabox Shoebox

1000 Grams and Up: 40L Underbed Storage

Ball pythons thrive in temperatures ranging from 78 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit on the cooler side and 88 to 92 degrees Fahrenheit on the warmer side. Humidity levels should be maintained between 50-60%.

The feeding frequency depends on the snake’s age, with hatchlings typically fed every 5-7 days and adults every 10-14 days. Prey items should be appropriately sized, typically starting with pinky mice for hatchlings. Prey items should not be more than 1.5x the size of the widest part of the ball python. Lab rats are the most common rodent that is fed to ball pythons.

Pet stores usually sell mice and rats. You can also try searching for profiles or pages on Facebook that sell feeder rats, mice, and other rodents in your city.

Ball pythons generally tolerate handling well, but it’s crucial to minimize handling during feeding time and allow them time to adjust to their new environment. We usually don’t handle them 24-48hrs after their meal. Handling once or twice a week is usually sufficient.

During the shedding process, provide increased humidity in the enclosure to aid the shedding process. Avoid handling your snake during this time, as their vision may be impaired. Some ball pythons may refuse to eat during the shedding process.
