New Owner any tips?

Hi i grew up in Australia and was constantly catching lizards and started keeping pythons at around 12 but its been a few years and im now living in London. just looking for any good tips to keep in Royals(Balls) in colder climates and specifically Royals as never seen or heard of them till a few months ago!

Hello and Welcome! :sunny:


The care sheet here is an awesome read.... Under Main Menu on the home page.

Also, cruise the threads.... there is a WORLD of knowledge and great people that keep all sorts of critters! :D

Best advice I have is just listen to what people around here have to say. This community has helped so many people with there problems on keepin ball pythons and other critters. Also post pics, we have an addiction to those.

Oh and welcome to the forum. :welcome: And Nice to meet you. :handshake

Here's a link to the caresheet:

If you take the time and expense to set up a proper home for them, they are very easy to keep in cooler climates. They don't need a very big enclosure, so with the proper heater and thermostat, it's very easy to maintain a warm little micro-environment for them.
