American breeders are selling designer ball pythons known as “morphs,” whose bright colors have become popular on Instagram and on YouTube channels such as Snake Discovery. Rebecca Giggs reports.

Most adult ball pythons eat once every 7 to 14 days. Another reason people love ball pythons is their color. There are many types, called “morphs,” that come in different colors and patterns.

The color pattern of a Ball Python is typically a mix of black, brown, and gold, with lighter markings along their sides and back.

Ball pythons are known for their remarkable array of patterns and colors, according to reptiles magazine. The specific snake is described as shy, friendly and manageable.
