There is only one species referred to as "Ball Pythons"? I didn't know that. Their markings are slightly different. The smaller one has white dots in the lighter splotches of color on it's hide. Two white dots, one on either side for the smaller splotches. An additional white dot in the middle for the later splotches. The larger snake doesn't have these white dots. I was thinking maybe they were closely related species. The face markings are identical.
I don't really know snakes very well.
They each have their own glass aquarium. One looks like a 20 gallon tall aquarium, the other looks like a 20 gallon long. Both have a heat lamp. I've been turning off the lamps at night and have been monitoring the thermometers. The temps seem to range from 80 degrees at night to around 86 degrees during the day.
