Ball python query for owners of globe pythons?
The only people answering this should be people beside experience about ball pythons or owners of ball pythons.I would approaching to know if they make good pets, or discouraging pets.
ALSO how much would an albino cost.
ALSO how much will a pastel cost.
Eating and shedding are some problems that they have. They trade name good pets, but you need to carefully monitor the humidity level and temperatures.
Albinos and Pastels both cost $750-$1000, and most prices don't include shipping.
Ball pythons make great pets. There is one glitch. If you get a toddler or juvenile it can be difficult to get them started eating. Ball pythons are notorious for human being difficult eaters. If you are new to snake ownership I suggest either an fully developed ball python or a baby corn snake. When you go to grasp your ball python make sure you ask approximately his/her feeding habits. If he isn't eating it can closing up being heartbreaking for you. I have had my own orb pythons and have worked at a zoo with various species of snakes. We have a batch of brand new baby globe pythons and we had to force feed the whole shipment of them. It is stressful on the baby to force feed. If its a ball you want a short time ago get his background first. Good luck and congrats on the decision to take a snake!
Answers: I personally have never had a problem next to captive bred babies feeding, only near imported ones like you find at most pet stores. Albinos are going for around $500 currently. Male pastels are $75 to $100 and feminine pastels are $250 to $300.
globe python make ok pets. the reason why i say OK is because some ball are VERY picky eater,like mine was, and it can drive a person crazy. but bar that they are very laid back snakes that hardly ever bite. and to your query about the albino and pastel they will coast around $400+ dollars.
hope i helped
Royal Pythons are peaceful, gentle and curious, making them an ideal beginners snake. You should be aware of their adult size, reaching up to 5 foot (1.5m) contained by length.
Royal Pythons are also known as Ball Pythons due to them rolling into a ball in shield. This species of Python grows to an average length of 4 foot (1.2 m), with the females being the large of the two. Some specimens hold been known to reach more than 5 foot (1.5m) contained by length.
Royal Pythons have to be one of the easiest species of snake to own, as long as the basic requirements are met.
Although these Pythons do grow big, they prefer a smaller enclosure after you would think. If the enclosure is too large, this could end in stress to the Python. There are a number of different enclosures you can use from vivariums, glass tank and plastic containers. Young Pythons can be housed in plastic containers measuring approx. 20x10” (LxW), sub and fully-grown adults in a 36x15” vivarium.
You entail provide your Royal Python with an ambient air temperature of 27-29C (80-85F) throughout the pen with a basking spot of 32.5C (90F) during the day. At dark, allow the ambient air temperature to drop down to no lower than 23-24C (73-75F), with a bask area of 27C (80F). No additional UV lighting is required for your Royal Python. You can maintain the temperature by using either a basking lamp beside a guard or a heat mat, a thermostat should control both these.
While your Python is young, the best substrate to use would be kitchen towel or newspaper, this is cheap and unproblematic to clean out. Once your Python starts to grow, you can use aspen, bark chips or cage hearth rug that is washable. A humidity box must be placed in with your Python. Cut a gap out of the plastic container, place vermiculite and sphagnum moss inside. Another hide should be placed in the enclosure so your Python can skin away during the day. To make the wrap look nice, place a large branch with some artificial plants around it.
Feed you Royal Python on defrost mice and rats. The size of food given depends on the size of the Python, this shouldn’t be any larger then the widest part of the Pythons body. Young Pythons should be fed every 7-10 days, elder Pythons every 10-14 days and adults should be fed every 3 weeks with breeding females being feed every 2 weeks.
Fresh water should be provide daily in a dish/bowl so your Python may drink or go for a dip. This is very important when your Python is due to shed its skin. Once you notice the Pythons eyes travel clear after being cloudy, bathe it in luc reheat water for 10 minutes, dry off then place vertebrae in its enclosure. The Python should then shed in 24hrs.
Hope this helps and good luck.

Ball pythons are great. go to Kingsnake.com there are listings and forms too!
i've only had my ball python for 3 months and so far he's an amazing pet. a completely docile easygoing animal( except for when he eats of coarse)... i'm not sure on the cost of an albino or pastel and it really depends on the age of the snake and breeder. whether i were you i would try to find a reptile breeding show in your area to seize the snake from. the prices are always cheaper and they know a great deal about the snakes.
