Dont know that Im into ball pythons. I do love them, so many pretty morphs. Im 50 yrs old and have had snakes since I could catch them.Used to catch worm snakes and let them constrict my fingers when I was in grade school. I used to catch bees too and let them eat honey off my hands(I was considered weird and a tom boy). Still weird and still love nature.
Of all snakes the only one I would actually consider cute is the ball python, well and maybe those little cornsnake faces too.
But nothing beats the ball for calm and gentle nature and pure cuteness.
