"Princess" hatched in my home in 1997. She's a beautiful snake. Photo by Frank

Royal (ball) python (Python regius), the Royal python of West Africa. Rarely exceeding 4 feet in length, these gentle and shy snakes are truly remarkable. They were worshipped as gods in West Africa centuries ago because of the great number of rodents they consume. They are nocturnal and their heat sensing pits can sense the heat from a small mammal from 30 feet away. Photo by Frank
