A Ball Python In The Hand ...
... is really quite something! They are (genetically, I'm told) among the friendliest, most mellow of all animals. Their defense behavior is to roll in to a ball (thus, "Ball" python), and when really challenged, they will tuck their heads into the ball.
They originated in western Central Africa: Liberia, Ghana, Togo, Sierra Leone, Guinea (+Bissau) all the way east to Uganda and Sudan. Their home territory ranges from savanna (dry grassland) to rainforest. They are kings among snakes, eating a varied diet that include other reptiles, and especially snakes!
