Yes, they are. Their care is almost the same. Bump the temps down about two degrees on the hot side on cool side (90F and 80F) and you should be good to go. They are also more lenient than ball pythons with relative humidity. All of mine hardly ever have bad sheds, and I keep the humidity in the 40 - 50 % range.

You also have to be more careful about feeding them. You should put them on an every seven day feeding regimen as babies, every ten days as sub-adults, and every 14 - 21 days as adults. Their metabolism is slower than a ball pythons. The frequency of feeding is determined by the size of the prey. Larger prey items require longer digestion time. Good luck.
