: : : Tyhanx 4 the info but you live just that bit to far away.

: : What country do you live in? These snakes can

: i live in England(uk) i agree these snakes are worth it but i cant get hold of that sort of money im only 15 thanx for your help any way

Angolans require quite a different environment to ball pythons. They are a desert dwelling snake that requires a moderately high humidity and quite a high level of temperature fluctuation(ie hot days and cool nights) with a well defined winter cool-down. Spend a night in Northen Namibia in the middle of winter and you will see exactly what I mean. They should always be provided with an overhead hot-spot in one part of the (large)enclosure that is switched off at night. Regular spraying and good drainage is a must. Ball pythons hail from tropical to semi tropical grassland and savannah, and are generally found in burrows and termite mounds etc.
These two snakes are very closely related.
