Ball Python care, popular pet reptiles and field herpetology
You may also have heard of it as the Javan Mud Snake, Rough-backed Leaf Litter Snake or Javan Tubercle Snake. Whatever you call it, the Dragon Snake (Xenodermus javanicus) is one of the most unique, and cryptic, ophidian species on the planet. Let’s take a look…
The Boa Constrictor has been re-classified as three separate species, but most common in captivity are the Common Boa (Boa imperator) and the Red Tail Boa (Boa constrictor). In this Boa Constrictor care sheet we’ll look at how to keep both of them happy and healthy.
It’s perfectly normal to ask yourself: Can Ball Pythons live together? Unfortunately, it’s not healthy or practical. Keep reading to find out why…

Brought to us by The Snake Keeper (TSK), in 2000, the Mojave Ball Python is now a staple in the hobby. Though nice as a single gene morph, it is in its super form or in combinations with dark genes that it shows its true potential.
The Champagne Ball Python is an unusual morph that completely changes both the animal’s pattern and colouration. First produced by Eb Noah in 2005, it has been reasonably popular ever since.
Literally the first incomplete dominant Ball Python morph, the Pastel has been around since 1997, when NERD first produced it. Though it’s nothing new, the Pastel Ball Python is something of an essential for many combos.
When Pastel just isn’t bright enough for you, add in the Fire gene and make a Firefly Ball Python! This designer morph has been around since around 2005, but it is a classic.
The Albino Ball Python morph was first produced by Bob Clark Reptiles, in 1992, and was a big contributor to the growing popularity of the species. That may have been a long time ago, but they are still popular today.
The Coral Glow Ball Python is an awesome morph. Who wouldn’t love a mutation that creates incredibly bright, striking colours? Produced by NERD, in 2002, the Coral Glow gene does all that and more.
