Infor me for albino python

Hey guys!

I want to buy an albino ball python. So is searched in my city pet shops and i found albino baby for $500, is cost much or this price is very good?
A normal cage with full accessories how much cost?
the true temp for pythos is 34-35 c ?

If you see baby albino balls for $500 pick me up one! Which city?

The variations on cage/accessories is huge and wide ranging from a $10 tupperware and $15 digital thermometer (mandatory do NOT skimp on this part) to exorbatant amounts.

You need thermal gradient ranging from about 32C on the warm end of the enclosure to about 25C on the cool end. Two hides one on each end.

Welcome to the site!


Hook me up with one of those albinos!

Probably not in the US, he asked what the proper temps were in Celcius.

Or maybe in Canada, eh?

Make sure they are Albino Ball Pythons and not Albino Burmese Pythons.

Ozone are you sure its 500 and not 5000 ?

I live on Cyprus in Larnaca city. i found this albino babies on Love Birds pet shop and Reptile House!
can you give me a normal picture of cage please?
My bigest problem is that my parents hates snakes:(((( and is hard to buy:(
220.00 CYP
Cyprus Pounds = 456.716 USD
United States Dollars
1 CYP = 2.07598 USD 1 USD = 0.481700 CYP

the royal python is
150.00 CYP
Cyprus Pounds = 311.397 USD
United States Dollars

Well, no way we'd be able to get our American hands on one of them.....

Thats definitely not a ballpython :) The second one is probably a burmese python. Here's a link to the care sheet on the burms : http://www.ball-pythons.net/modules....rtid=51&page=1

Ball Pythons dont get that big. The first pic is kinda hard to make out, but judging from the size of the snake in relationship to the person holding it .. its probably not a ball python. It would be a giant ball python if it was.

Here's a link to some pics from NERD of albino ball pythons:

Normal bp's look similar to this ( even though all bp's have different patterns )

Here's a link to some pics from NERD of albino Burmese:
http://www.newenglandreptile.com/burmese_albino.html

Burms get much bigger than ball pythons. Burmese pythons can reach 20 feet or more while ball pythons generally stay under 5 feet or so ( depending on sex and feeding pattern )

Hope this helps! Welcome to the site btw :)

The difference is anywhere from 10-15' (say 3-5metres) and who knows how many kilos.

You might want to do a bit more in depth research before you buy lol.

The Ball or Royal Python will reach a maximum size of just under 2 meters. Typical adult size is close to a 1.5 meters. For food, it will never require anything larger than a typical rat, which many captive bred Ball Pythons will readily accept pre-killed ( no worries about the rat deciding to chew on the snake instead).

The Burmese Python is one of the "Giant" species of snakes, reaching sizes of 3 to 5 meters (as already pointed out). Adult Burmese require much larger prey for food, and a full grown Burmese can be difficult to handle if it decides to get moody. Typical safety rules are that a 5 meter Burmese would need a minimum of 3 healthy adult humans to keep it under control if it starts to be a problem.

If your parents are afraid of snakes, a Burmese is NOT a good candidate for instilling a love of snakes into them. It would be akin to asking someone who is afraid of spiders to handle a large tarantula.

If you've never kept a snake before, I would recommend holding off on an Albino Ball Python, which can cost upwards of $3000 U.S. or more. The normal colored Ball Python can be obtained for easily under $100 U.S., and is still a beautiful and interesting pet. It isn't any more tragic to lose an expensive pet to inexperience than it is to lose an inexpensive one, but it is much easier to hand an inexpensive pet over to an experienced keeper if you realize you cannot properly care for it (or your parents decide they won't tolerate it in the house any longer). If, however, you have several thousand dollars invested in a snake, you may find yourself wanting to try and recoup that cost, and the delay in finding a buyer may end up a tragedy for the snake, and a financial loss for you.

thanks all for this informations i will search more more before i buy.

why ball pythons cost too much and burmese pythons not too much?

Albino burmese have been available a lot longer, their clutches are larger (more eggs), and there's less deman for the ones that do hatch.

She nailed it - much bigger clutch size.

can albino burmese be dangerous when is 5 meters and hungry ?

No doubt. You need atleast two people to handle a giant.

Definitely dangerous. Having said that, i firmly believe every animal is what the keeper makes of it. I still wouldnt handle a giant without someone else experienced around.

I saw an albino BP at the IRBA show back in May that was going for $800.00
it was really beautiful, but no way do I have that kind of cash to spend on a snake as much as I would like to - but it was a really nice specimen, nice and thick and about two feet long. I would really love to have a high end BP but I am lucky I have my four normal coloration babies...but I DO drool over some of the morphs that I saw on the NERD site a few nights ago....

Ozone go to the link below and read it. It will show how responsible you will need to be when you acquire a burmese or any other python that grows more than 8 feet.

Do they have them labeled as to what they are? If not .... check my picture on the first page and then check this link which has a picture of a burmese python: http://www.newenglandreptile.com/CareBurm.html . The differences in the pattern and the head size should give it away. If the snake is any bigger than 5 feet or approx 1.5 meters .. then is definitely a burmese. Ball-Pythons very very rarely get any bigger than 5 feet.

A ball python and a burmese python is fairly easy to tell the difference between, once you know the general patterns of the two. In the link you provided, that would be a ball python. So if you see a snake at the petshop that's fairly small and has that pattern, then it's no doubt it's a ball python. Burmese have a bit different pattern, and a different head shape(from what I've seen anyway). If you see a snake with a pattern like the pic you linked to, then yeah, it's a ball.

Read loads of caresheets, ask any questions you might have on here, maybe ask to handle the ball python at the pet shop, and generally get all the knowlege you can get. Then get your tank set up, and then you should be good for a ball python. :)
