Python regius is a non-venomous python species found in Africa.
This is the smallest of the African pythons and is popular in the pet trade.
No subspecies are currently recognized.
Description:
Adults generally do not grow to more than 90–120 cm (3.0–3.9 ft) in length,
although some specimens have reached 152 cm and even 182 cm (5–6 feet),
but this is very rare.[4] Females tend to be slightly bigger than males maturing at an average of 4-4.5 feet.
Males usually average around 3-3.5 feet.[5] The build is stocky
while the head is relatively small. The scales are smooth
and both sexes have anal spurs on either side of the vent.
Although males tend to have larger spurs, this is not definitive,
and sex is best determined via manual eversion of the male hemipenes or
inserting a probe into the cloaca to find the inverted hemipenes (if male).
The color pattern is typically black or dark brown with light brown or gold sides and dorsal blotches.
The belly is a white or cream that may include scattered black markings.
However, those in the pet industries have, through selective breeding,
developed many morphs(genetic mutations) with altered colors and patterns.
The name ball python refers to the animal's tendency to curl into a ball when stressed or frightened.
The name royal python (from the Latin "regius") is based in part on the story
that Cleopatra supposedly wore the snake around her wrist.
Geographic range :
Found in Africa from Senegal, Mali, Guinea-Bissau, Guinea, Sierra Leone, Liberia, Ivory Coast, Ghana,
Benin, Niger and Nigeria through Cameroon, Chad and the Central African Republic to Sudan and Uganda.
No type locality was given in the original description.
Habitat :
Prefers grasslands, savannahs and sparsely wooded areas.
Behavior :
This terrestrial species is known for its defense strategy that involves coiling into a tight ball when threatened,
with its head and neck tucked away in the middle. In this state, it can literally be rolled around.
The python also has the tendency to hiss loudly when it feels threatened.
Favored retreats include mammal burrows and other underground hiding places where they also aestivate. In captivity they are considered good pets,
for their relatively small size and placid nature make them easy to handle.
Beliefs and folklore :
This species is particularly revered in the traditional religion of the Igbo people of southeastern Nigeria.
It is considered symbolic of the earth, being an animal that travels so close to the ground.
Even among many Christian Igbos, these pythons are treated with great care whenever they happen to wander into a village or onto someone's property;
they are allowed to roam freely or are very gently picked up and placed out in a forest or field away from any homes. If one is accidentally killed,
many communities in Igboland will still build a coffin for the snake's remains and give it a short funeral.
