Hope you don't mind another picture of her. She's shed her skin and now has really bright colors. She's a Royal (ball) python (Python regius). Royal pythons are native to West Africa and rarely exceed five feet in length. Notice the heat sensing pits on her lip which detect the heat from prey animals from up to thirty feet away even at night. The Royal python diet consists of mice, rats and gerbils. They are extremely docile snakes. Photo by Frank
She's a Royal (ball) python (Python regius). When ball pythons are stressed they curl up in a "ball" protecting their heads, hence the nickname, "ball." "Sheba" was rescued from a pet store in the Twin Falls, Idaho area in 1998. At the time it was reported she had not eaten in a year. She ate within a day of arriving at my house. Amazingly I think this may be the first picture I've taken of her these past 14 years. Royal pythons extremely shy and docile snakes and are native to the savannah lands of west Africa.

when cleaning "Sheba's" enclosure today (June 10, 2015). She was incubating eggs in her hide area. Pythons coil around their eggs and help maintain an even temperature through the friction of twitching scales. We removed the eggs as they were infertile. "Sheba" is a Royal (ball) python (Python regius). Royal pythons are among the smaller and gentler pythons rarely exceeding 4 - 6 feet in length and are native to sub-Sahara Africa. Photo by Frank..

This is Freya, my Ball Python. When I got her 4 years ago she was about 10 inches long. She is now over 4 feet and still growing. Ball Pythons reach a top length of about 5 1/2 to 6 feet when they are fully grown.
I missed having her out. While I had the stomach flu, I didn’t want to mess with her just in case. But we were out and about today (Friday).
