Is there an underlying reason that there are some ball pythons that struggle in a vivarium and some that do wonderfully? The Ball python has an amazing and ever-growing community of keepers surrounding it. But not all Ball python keepers see eye to eye? Why do some find they stress in vivariums when they test it and others do not? Ball python care has many layers and in this video, we try to peel some of those layers back.
