    Re: Are ball pythons a domesticated species?

    my own personal test for whether an animal is domesticated is this:

    If you let it go and it comes back within a few days.....it's domesticated!
    Very few animals are domesticated. Tame is not the same as domesticated in my mind. I think snakes probably don't even have the brain structure needed for true domestication.
