I’ve got ball pythons. They’re on the shorter side (3-4 feet, though one of mine wants to push that out to 5 I think) but they get very girthy! Big fat noodles ^^

I heard they’re picky eaters, is that true?

Since that other answer was so perfect, I’ll just reply with a picture of my big girl. She’s a spider morph and has neurological issues that will sadly affect her all of her life. She still eats very well and behaves mostly like a normal ball python.

I’d say yeah, they’re not a super easy pet. They need certain parameters to be “just so”. But they certainly aren’t the most challenging, and if you’re willing to provide for them, they can be very rewarding! Well, mostly you won’t see them, because they’ll be happily snoozing in their hides xD

There are easier snakes, but the ones I can think of don’t get very big around. (sand boa, corn snake). I would say if you’re serious, to research, read @wheremyscalesslither‘s care sheets, research, and really put thought into it. These guys are a long-term commitment.
