Best Royal Python Types for Beginners and Breeders

Those new to ball python keeping are best advised to start with an uncomplicated animal that doesn’t have specialized husbandry requirements. Ball pythons are known as a species for their hardiness and adaptability. For keepers who later wish to get into morph breeding, codominant morphs like Pastel or Banana are a good next step, as they produce visible offspring with one parent. Recessive morphs like Clown or Piebald require more planning but offer greater breeding potential in the long run.
