    Re: Ball python natural habitats details, straight from a trapper in Ghana

Perhaps I'm just not looking in the right places for humans at sleep. Perhaps these trappers are not looking in the right places for hiding BPs.

    I have no idea what % of their lives BPs spend in termite mounds or holes. And I very much doubt that these trappers do either.

    the numbers you present add up to 100%. Are we to believe that BPs only exist in the bush, under trees, under rocks and under trash pile and can never be found elsewhere? I would suggest that your friends anecdotal evidence adds nothing to our knowledge of BP natural behavior.
    The percentages are obviously a general take on where the trapper finds his ball pythons, obviously? I'm not quite sure what has got you all riled up, when I'm just posting what the trapper has said.

    Your "our" should be replaced by "you". And it's totally fine if you don't think it adds to your knowledge of BP natural behavior. No need to comment on my thread, just thought it was something to share.
