What's your favorite thing about owning ball pythons?

As the title states, what's your favorite thing about owning ball pythons?

What attracted you to get a ball python instead of any other type of snake?
How long have you been keeping balls?

My favorite thing about ball pythons is probably being able to hold/view/buy so many different colors and patterns of them. They're genetics are so unique!

I picked bps over other types of snakes because of their size. I wanted something a little larger but not too big. Once I found out how easy they were to take care of I was hooked.

I went to a reptile show about 4-5 months ago, got my first female normal. Was literally one of the most exciting days of my life! Now I'm currently having to build new racks, and all my ball pythons are getting their own reptile room this weekend once I get everything done.

Never knew I would get this far.. totally wasn't planning for it to get this far. Still have a couple new additions that I've purchased but haven't come yet due to the cold weather where I live. Waiting sucks!

Also I'm going to a reptile show this weekend, its about 3+ hours from me, but so worth it! Haha well anyways I'll stop rambling before I get too off topic.

Looking forward to reading your replies!

I too love all of the different morphs. I really like all snakes, but what I love about ball pythons is their size. They don't get too big, and they aren't too small. Housing them doesn't take up too much room. On top of all this, they are very easy to handle (for the most part, lol).

I have a boa and a milk snake, but all of my other snakes are ball pythons.

I love their adorable little faces and that they just chill with ya.

i love their size. i held my first BP about 4 months ago and i was instantly hooked. Its also nice how easy it is to care for them. I've had my BP for a few months now, and already have plans on at least 4 more lol

I like holding them the most. I like how easy they are to take care of. Size is also good.

I like them for all of the other reasons people listed but also for the genetics aspect of it. I love thinking of the different combos you could create breeding the diff snakes to eachother and the odds of what youll get. I was also a big fan of punnett squares in biology class so this is like taking them to the next level. Idk maybe im a weirdo and the only one that does that lol?

My first BP I rescued from a snake call. It was a couple weeks old and found in a bag of mulch by a lady. Really! So later I bought an albino at a show in S.C. They both have great personalities, that is my favorite thing.

I've always liked reptiles. I was attracted to the pythons because of the different Morphs and relatively low maintenance to own them
