Just looking for your general experience with other booids and ball pythons. So far, I'm a novice to snakes and only have dealt with ball pythons, but looking into another snake, I'm wondering if I should pick a different species. How does their care, behavior, and activity level differ from the ball, and what major difference does it make. Just any other python and boa, be it boa constrictor, rosy boa, carpet python, reticulated python, blood python, short tailed python, etc. So far, I heard rosy boas behave like miniature ball pythons; sluggish, slow, and secretive.
Also, how does the activity level of ball pythons differ from my season to season? Do ball pythons usually lie around and do nothing during the colder months as opposed to more activity in the summer, or is it just me and my ball?
