Species & Morph Overview
The ball python (Python regius) is a stocky snake known for its calm demeanor and its habit of curling into a tight ball when stressed or threatened. Adults typically reach 4–5 ft in length and can live for several decades with proper care. This listing is for a female GHI Spotnose morph. The GHI gene produces an extremely dark “puzzle” pattern with strong golden “alien heads” and silvery flames, while the Spotnose mutation creates an extreme head stamp and circular alien heads along the body. She has a sleek black head with bright yellow–gold stripes and vibrant patterning along her body.
Care Snapshot
Ball pythons thrive in moderately sized enclosures with stable temperatures and humidity. A juvenile can start in a 24 × 15 inch terrarium, but adults should have at least a 48 × 24 × 24 inch enclosure for adequate space. Provide a secure lid, multiple hides, and at least 3–4 inches of substrate to maintain humidity. Maintain an ambient temperature of 80–82 °F with a basking area of 90–92 °F, and keep humidity around 50–60 %, raising it to 75 % during shedding. A proper thermostat and accurate thermometers/hygrometers are essential.
Temperament & Handling
Ball pythons are generally docile and easy to handle. When startled they may coil into a ball and hide their head—a natural defense strategy. With regular, gentle handling this female becomes calm and inquisitive, making her a great choice for keepers looking for an approachable snake.
Diet & Feeding
In the wild, ball pythons feed on small mammals and birds. In captivity they thrive on appropriately-sized rodents. This GHI Spotnose female is currently eating live rats and should continue on an appropriately sized meal every 14–21 days. Always feed prey items no larger than the widest part of the snake’s body.
Housing & Environmental Needs
Provide a secure enclosure with proper ventilation, hides, and moderate climbing branches. Use cypress mulch, coconut husk, or paper substrate to help maintain humidity. Spot-clean as needed and replace substrate regularly. Maintain humidity with misting or a humid hide, and ensure a clean water dish is available at all times.
Is a Ball Python Right for You?
Great fit if you:
– Want a manageable-sized, docile snake with striking pattern and color.
– Can provide consistent heat, humidity, and a secure enclosure.
– Are comfortable feeding live or pre-killed rodents.
Not ideal if you:
– Prefer a highly active or large climbing snake.
– Are unable to provide regular heating/humidity control.
– Are uncomfortable feeding rodents.
Final Note
This proven breeder GHI Spotnose female weighs approximately 2,500 g and produced one healthy clutch last year. She would make an excellent addition to a breeding project or a stunning display snake for an experienced keeper.
