Python Regius, which translates to "Royal Python," its original name.
No - ROYAL Pythons (from their designated latin name of Python Regius) are constrictors.
The Latin name for the python is "Python," which is the genus name that encompasses various species of pythons. For example, the common reticulated python is scientifically known as "Python reticulatus." Other species, like the ball python, are referred to as "Python regius." The genus name reflects their classification within the family Pythonidae.
The ROYAL Python (to give the correct name from its latin name of Python Regius) can grow to a length of up to 60 inches. ALL my adult specimens are well over 55 inches ! Incidentally - The Royal Python only got the tag of 'ball python' from its defensive posture of curling itself into a ball when threatened !
A white ball python could be any of the white pythons. Those are the Blue-Eyed Leucistic Ball Python, Ivory Ball Python, Hypo Ivory Ball Python and the Piebald Ball Python.
they call them ball pythons because they roll up into a ball when they are frightened but they call them royal pythons because in all the palaces in Africa they kept them around to eat the rodents hence the name royal python Edit: They got the name Royal Python from their latin name of Python regius - LONG before they got the nick-name 'ball python'
"Python sebae" is the Latin name for this non-venomous python.
None. Ball python is the species. There are currently no recognized subspecies of ball python, either.
You mean a Royal python - from it's assigned Latin name of Python regius - Drop me an email through my profile - and I'll answer soon as I get it.
NO ! A Royal python's (from their Latin name Python regius) diet is rodents - such as mice, gerbils or rats, depending on how big the snake is !
The ball python is only one type of Python. As I don't know which other type of python you're asking me to compare the ball python with I can't really answer your question...
Yes.
