ball pythons. they are VERY tame ive never been bitten by mine and its never even tried to bite me. they get about 4 feet, female likely 4.5-5 feet and are very easy to take care of. search ball python care sheet on google.

Steve,

Ball pythons start out the shoot with nice temperment on average. They max at around 4-6 ft. Biggest issue is the feeding issues you can have with imported specimens. So make sure you witness the little bugger eat or buy captive breed from a reputable source.

I'm not sure about temperment and such but the Children's Pythons only get to about 3 feet max but again buy a well started snake because they can feeding issues too as hatchlings. at least thats what I've been told.

Hope this helps,
Darci
