    There's no such thing as a poisonous snake. There are venemous though, and ball pythons are not.

    Re: Ummm what is he?

    Ball Pythons (or any pythons) are not venomous.

    You should click around and read the care sheet here and it will answer many of your questions.

    If there is anything else not covered be sure to ask

    Re: Ummm what is he?

    Probably a little after the fact, but if anyone was insistent on referring to snakes as "breeds", I would call the species ball python the breed, and the albinism is a variation.

    Ex:

    You can have black labradors, white labs, and chocolate labs....but they're all of the same 'breed" (i.e. labrador retrievers).

    Thus, you have albino BPs, piebalds, pastels, etc...but they're all ball pythons.
