About Royal Pythons
The royal python — often called the ball python — is the gentlest snake we sell, and our most popular by a mile.
They stay a manageable size, rarely bite, and famously curl into a ball when nervous rather than lashing out. With a huge range of morphs (colours and patterns), no two are quite the same.
A brilliant first snake for a careful keeper. Pop in and we will talk you through everything you need to set one up properly.
