Ever thought of keeping snakes as a pet. Well! not for Marwan Bayzuie. Believe it or not he got about 18 Designer morph Ball pythons stash in a specially design room. These snakes are not found locally but imported from the states at a ost of about B$60k. (btw the snakes are legally for export - certified by Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (CITES).
This is a - one expensive hobby. His love of snake or reptile started at an early age. Before , he used keep Iguana, corn snakes, etc. a hobby that seem strange to others...
What is Ball Pythons?
Ball pythons are so named because when the snake are threatened they roll themselves into a tight ball, tucking their head inside their coils. Young ball pythons grow about a foot a year for three years. They can live for a long time with proper care - up to about 50 years, although 20-30 appears to be more typical.

Dont think you will find this snake in the wild.
Ball pythons are so named because when threatened they roll themselves into a tight ball, tucking their head inside their coils. Its not easy to uncurl it.
These snakes feed on small white mice at least once a month! ( have to check if my info is correct on the feeding schedule).
These are where the snakes are kept. The room is especially design with temperature sensor and ventilation.

It sure looks like a ball. I had fun day playing with the snakes. But dont think I'll ever keep them as pets.

Bro, the pythons are fed adult mice & young rats. And they are fed at a routine schedule of every 7-14-days for a healthy consistance growth. ;o)
