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.

Should you get a ball python from petco or petsmart?
I would strongly recommend getting it straight from a reputable breeder. The reason for this is because the chances of a respiratory infection is way lower, they tend to eat routinely (ball pythons that are called picky eaters are often from the pet store), and the chance of mites is less. I would recommend BHB Reptiles.
Alternatively if you can find a reptile show, you can purchase a bp there.
