Recommended Products for Ball Pythons AKA Royal Pythons
The Ball Python (Python regius) is mainly a terrestrial species of constricting snake native to the diverse regions of eastern, central, and western Africa however, several studies have confirmed that they are also semi-arboreal and will often use trees to climb and hunt. In the wild, they are most often found in semi-arid grasslands, forests, and near agricultural areas, sheltering in animal burrows, hollow logs, and occasionally termite mounds.
Due to the imported African farm-raised Ball Pythons as well as captive breeding, the Ball Python today enjoys immense popularity by pet keepers/enthusiasts and the hobbyists/breeders that selectively breed them for their many color and pattern variations commonly referred to as morphs. As each new morph emerges, collectors and breeders will often sell them for several thousands of dollars, and sometimes, tens of thousands of dollars and this has created a cottage industry of literally thousands of home based breeders that can make a living and in some rare cases, even make a lot of money by breeding and selling new color/pattern ball python morphs.
Fortunately, while in the United States and some other countries most Ball Pythons are bred in a rack and tub system, most pet reptile keepers, who represent over 99% of all reptile keepers, house their ball pythons in much larger setups. Ideally, your pet reptile’s enclosure should try to mirror their natural habitat with décor, plants and other enrichment as well as appropriate lighting and heating in order to try and provide the best care possible for your Ball Python.
Here we have compiled all our products that we recommend to help you best care for your pet Ball Python.
What Our Customers Say About Our Products
This is my second one and it’s perfect! Great value!
Took awhile to ship but worth the wait. Easy to put together!
This took a little longer to get than I expected, but the quality is tops. Very easy to put together and everything was a precision fit. I was a little concerned with heat distribution, but it seems to be regulating and settling great with just a DHP in the box. I’m currently maintaining a 75-88 heat gradient from wall to wall and because of the design, ambient humidity is fantastic. Well worth the wait!
This is not my first purchase from CRH, as usual very good quality, looks a feels like a real rock, bought this one for my bearded dragon.
Easy to assemble. Big and sturdy.
The snake has a better enclosure than I have in a house!
I can't believe how real and natural these look !!! Definitely worth the price
These enclosures are good quality! There were some small scuffs and dents which was expected based on the description, but I really like that they make these out of scrap pieces to reduce waste! My only complaint is that the ventilation is practically nonexistent (especially if you get substrate shields). I ended up having to drill holes in the sides to put in vent inserts because a few tiny holes is not nearly enough.
I preordered the SES 4x2x2 enclosure before my daughter ever got her ball python because I knew that we would eventually need an enclosure of this size. We wound up getting a young ball python that we housed in a smaller enclosure while we waited for this one to be ready.
The quality of this enclosure is great! My husband built it and was surprised by how heavy the boxes were, but it didn’t take him long to get it put together. His only complaint was that one part of the instructions was unclear, but he figured it out without too much hassle. I really appreciate the setup for the lighting…it’s large enough to hold different heat and light sources and I love that it doesn’t have a screen top that would need covered. We did have to upgrade our CHE, but that was to be expected with a larger enclosure. After a slight learning curve, we’ve been able to maintain heat and humidity with minimal effort. I would definitely consider getting another one of these enclosures for another pet!
These hides really are the best. No quality issues whatsoever 👍👍
Easy to assemble and generally light enough to lift on your own, this is fantastic at keeping the humidity up for my ball python.
I have 7 Whites Treefrogs and needed a large bowl that wasn't heavy. This bowl was perfect and is so realistic! Love it and will purchase again from here.
Cages are solid and easy to put together. So far we have been very happy with them and so have our snakes! One piece to one of our enclosures came broken but then had a replacement mailed and at our door within two days.
It's a very nice enclosure I wish I would have gotten the solid top for my ball python. I changed my order to the screen top so I'm using it for one of my bearded dragons. It's very easy to put together.
Assembly was easy, looks good, just wish it came with some pre-made prob holes.
