Answer 1

Dear god you should not own a snake.

Answer 2

First off: Snakes are venomous, not poisonous! You need to learn to use the proper terms if you're going to start getting into snakes. Second, no pythons are venomous. Third, depending upon where you live is whether or not they are legal. Some countries like Australia have a ban on all but indigenous species. Some states like Georgia are the same unless you have a permit. You do not remove the teeth on a venomous snake. They grow back and it's cruel. You should not own a venomous snake anyway. You don't even know anything about a snake period. Vens are for experienced persons. There are albinos in all types of species. Ball pythons are probably better than a lot of them. They do have a problem with getting them to eat. You need to do a LOT more research into these before you decide to keep one. There is all kinds of information out there about them if you take the time to find out. Giving you the easy answers is not going to help you. I am a little worried about any snake you take into your care. You seem woefully ignorant of them and obviously haven't even tried to find out ANYTHING about them. You could have at least found out if they were venomous or not before you posted such silly questions about them.

Answer 3

No they're not venomous lol. Albino ball pythons are kind of pricey ranging from anywhere around $800 - $2,000.00 depending on what kind you get.



It is very important to research as much as you can about an animal before you get it! thats an awful lot of money to spend just to have the snake die because you didn't look up how to care for it properly. I'm not saying you won't since you obviously ask this question.

I just think google could answer far more questions for you if you just search things like "care sheets" and "natural history" of whatever reptile you wish. I also suggest you join a few reptile groups to learn more about them you may even find a cheaper snake you like more.



I'll give you few sites to get you started but there are many more out there so don't limit yourself.

Answer 4

An Albino Ball Python is just a regular Ball Python that lacks black pigmentation. Pythons are constrictors, in the wild they crush their prey to death so do not need venom therefore they don't have fangs. Constrictors do have teeth, they have backward pointing teeth that are pretty small which help the snake to swallow its food. They are certainly legal and are a quite popular species of snake to own as a pet.



Ball Pythons grow to 5-6 feet so need a fair sized enclosure, I strongly recommend you do as much research as possible, take out a few books. If your serious about owning a ball python you will want to be a competent owner, you don't want to just jump into the deep end, so to speak and risk the health of the animal becuase you're not sure of what your doing or how to take care of it.

Answer 5

They are just as legal as regular ball pythons. And no boas or pythons are poisonious. Mayb u should do a little research b4 u decide to get one cuz obviously u know nothing about snakes. I'd suggest u get a cheap regular ball python b4 getting a $800 albino or mayb u should start off with a $15 corn snake. Hope this helped.

Answer 6

hmmmm...all right, let me explain my answers:



1. Legal or not does depend on where u live and your local laws



2. No pythons are venomous. Ball pythons are even a non-aggressive species



3. they are 90-120 cm (3-4 feet) in length roughly. Some can reach 152 cm and even 182 cm (5-6 feet) but this is very rare



4. Snakes do not eat a lot. Not like dogs, snakes eat once every week. They eat mice



5. Albino morph is more expensive. You should buy a normal morph first if you want. From how you ask, u seem to know nothing.



You can check for prices on this website:

Please, if you really love and wanna own snakes. Please please please please please research the snake you wanna get (ball python in your case). There are lots of information available on google that you can search, like how they should be housed, the temperature etc2. Be a responsible owner.
