Reticulated ball pythons (Python reticulatus) aren't for new snake owners. They average about 15 feet long when grown and can be pretty aggressive. Regular ball pythons (Python regius) are better.

Reticulated ball pythons are native Asian reptiles. They can grow up to 30 feet and weigh in excess of 300 pounds. They are considered a dangerous animal and they are not considered to be a pet for amateurs. They can live 20 to 30 years in captivity, so they are considered to be a long term investment in care.

You should do some serious research before allowing your son to get a ball python. You need to know how to care for them properly before getting one.

Reticulated ball pythons are snakes that are usually between 4-6 feet long and are constrictors. Which mean they squeeze their prey to kill them.

There is no such thing as a reticulated ball python. The reticulated python is a large, aggressive species of snake of 20+ feet. A ball python is a different species.

They are a serpant and they are really hard to keep in a cage and they have to be taken out and let swim when they are shedding it helps the old skin come off or you have to buy shed eeze for them it helps shed their skin as well and when full grown they are big they stink.
