No - Royal (ball) Pythons require high temperatures and humidity (their natural habitat is African rain Forrest/jungle areas)
No, you have to use a cage with bars and a cage door. Make sure only to use a cage meant for rodents, or a roomy plasic tub, but if you use a plastic tub, DO NOT cover up the opening, because the guinea pig could sufficate.

You shouldn't bathe your ball python, so no.
Yes, it would be. I use a 75 watt heat bulb in an 110 qt tub for my boa constrictor, and it keeps it a cozy 95 degrees. A 50 watt bulb with a UTH for your cage should be sufficient.
You will see small black dots, like poppy seeds under their scales. Buy a "No Pest Strip" from Lowes Hardware and put it next to their cage. You will see the mites dead on the bedding. Also when treating for mites clean the cage and unshredded use newspaper for bedding.
Your python may stay small but that is NOT good for a python to be in a small space. It leads to agression. You must get bigger tanks for your python as he grows, or just start with a large one.
they don't tend to SMELL they use their tongue to taste the air.
I agree that a 20 gallon tank isn't big enough and they won't be very comportable in it but ball pythons don't get longer than 20 feet,the longest a female would get to would be 5 - 6 feet and a male would get to about 4 - 5 feet but that's rare! You could use a 30 gallon tank but the best would be a 40 gallon tank for a fully grown ball python!!
how to use rest protocol in python
I would say, flag-foot ball, and soccer, cage fighting.
Pythons are constrictors and do not use venom. Clean the punctures out with soap and water. People generally do not get infections from bites. The bites are not a big deal.to get a ball python off of you while it is biting you.since ball pythons teeth are in a hook shape, u cant just pull it off. you either take a swab or a dropper, put some alcohol in it, then rub it or drip it in the ball pythons mouth.
The python is a large snake.
