Says 2.34 ball pythons per 1 hectare, which is more like 2 ball pythons per 2 acres.

So in conclusion, 1 ball python per acre. That's not very sociable I wouldn't think.
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you did not read the report you are citing.

If you had you would have noticed, I hope, two things.

First, they ONLY looked at farmland, a small percentage of what was available.

Second, after finding one or two snakes, they stopped looking for others.

The study, as far as density is concerned, is worthless.

It does not take into account seasonal variations, climatic variations, topographic variations or anything else that would/could effect the population density of ball pythons.

If that's your only source, you're doing yourself a dis-service by quoting it.
