Pythons
Pythons are a family of non-venomous snakes that are native to Africa, Asia and Australia. Pythons are ambush predators that use constriction to kill their prey. Unlike female boas, female pythons lay eggs. Pythons are hunted for their skin, which is used, like leather, to make shoes, handbags and other fashion accessories.

When do plants use carbon dioxide night or day?
Plants use carbon dioxide in the daytime as part of photosynthesis which occurs in the chloroplast. They use the CO2 and make sugars. People breath in oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide, plants do the opposite. They breath in carbon dioxide and breath out oxygen.
One small "technical" detail that should be mentioned. Plants really don't breath, they respire. People breath.
So, at the night, the plant cells respire more than they photosynthesise, so they get rid of more carbon dioxide than oxygen.
A Burmese Python moves by sliding on the ground the same way all snakes move. They are one of the biggest snakes in the world.
no
I beg to differ!
ballpythons can swim pretty well.
They are not meant to be in the water like water snakes. if they were put into the middle of a lake they would most likely not make it back to shore, but if they are in VERY shallow water and can see the land & that land isn't too far away, they could probably make it.
Ball Pythons will roll into a ball and when you drop them into the water they will sink to the bottom and then they CANT get back to the surface.... common sense ppl.
^^^ The above comment is correct to an extent. Yes, you can let your Ball Python swim, it's actually very good for them as it helps them shed. However, make sure the water is lukewarm and shallow enough for the snake to keeps it head above the water. It's better to put the water in a basin, and put a book or something under one side so that half the basin has water and half does not, this way the snake will choose how much it wants to bathe and has dry land if it needs to get away from the water.

Is it hard to take care of a ball python?
it all depends, just like any animal it need proper attention from cage cleaning to handling and feeding. I would recommend trying to learn a little about owning them as a pet so you know its feeding times and how to handle/care for it. Remember they do tend to get very large so you have to be prepared for that as well and know it eventually will happen and you need to be able to accommodate for that. Just a tip never hold a snake during its shedding period they tend to have blurry eyesight from this and may end up biting you by mistake also i wouldn't recommend handling it after feeding.
