Ball Python Care
Ball pythons (Python regius) are native to the continent of Africa. These docile serpents have been found in several countries to the west of the continent, such as Ghana, Nigeria, and the Central African Republic. These animals spend much of their time hiding in burrows, as they enjoy keeping to themselves.

World of Animals
Over the years, I have been given the chance to see, work, and own several different animals but only on a small scale such as owning dogs, hamsters, and rabbits. So usually small “friendlier” pets... until I met my sister's hamster. As a rule of thumb, I was always the first to pick our new pet up to see if it bites. Well, guess what! This hamster enjoyed a little human now and then, enjoying clamping down on my finger. As an automatic response I pulled away, and not only did this make things worse, but I had a baby Siberian hamster with devilish red eyes and pure white fur (which later ended up covered in my blood).

If you’re like many, these images conjure up a single, menacing word in your mind: snake. The creature that tricked Adam and Eve into eating the accursed apple and committing the first sin; inspiration for dozens of mythological creatures, and possibly more horror-based monster movies.
