According to the "Reptile Hosue":
"Royal pythons - known as ball pythons in the USA because of their ability to curl up into a ball when threatened - come from grasslands and forest clearings in west and central Africa, where they spend much of their lives in underground burrows. Active mainly by night, these snakes eat 'jumping mice' (gerbils) in the wild, and can be fussy eaters in captivity.

They are a short, stocky python strongly marked in black and tan, with spots and stripes throughout the body. These snakes measure, on average, around 100 cm in length, although a large female may grow to more than double this size. They have short tails and powerful, muscular bodies which they use - like all pythons and boas - to constrict their prey. They have small, shiny, smooth scales which do not overlap".
