I don't mean to be a jerk...but obviosuly you have internet access right?
Go to Yahoo.com, search "Ball python care sheets"
MANY will come up.
I think this site even has a care sheet under the "care sheet" section.

the answer is no, ball pythons require higher temperatures than blood pythons.

Pretty simple. I've used heat pads and lighting, and I'm keeping an adult male in a 20gL. Either way the temp needs to be 'round 80F (though I've had it as low as 70 for awhile w/o a regurg). I've used screens and solid tops, solid tops cause the glass to fog up, but screens can rough up their noses a bit. I never spray to keep up the humidity, but a lot of people do. I've never had a bad shed, either. 1 prey item about the snake's width at his thickest point, once a week. Ummm...a water dish to soak. DEFINATELY MUST HAVE a hide box, small enough that the snake can feel squished but big enough that he's not actually squished. I think that's bout it. I keep a thermometer in mine, too. Just in case.
