Here are 5 things that took me completely by surprise when first adopted my ball python (aka royal python aka python regius). No amount of care guides, forums and RU-vid videos prepared me for these aspects of python ownership - so if you also have one, I would be very curious to hear if you have made similar observations or if my snake is just a total weirdo. Also you might notice that her terrarium changes from a small glass terrarium to a much bigger OSB terrarium in some of the footage. If you are interested in seeing how I upgraded her into this larger terrarium, stay tuned because I will be posting a video on it soon.
The 5 categories in this video are (if you want to spoil it for yourself):
1. Squishiness ( I assume not everyone's snake is this squishy )
2. Ability to make themselves really flat
3. Obsession with the Outside World
4. Spatial Memory
5. High Activity Level (I assume there is variation in activity level between different individuals)
