Pythons are a family of nonvenomous snakes found in Africa, Asia, and Australia. Among its members are some of the largest snakes in the world. There are 31 species of pythons currently recognized.
Ball Pythons
Ball pythons, commonly referred to as Royal Pythons, are nonvenomous constrictors that can be found in sub-Sahara Africa. Ball pythons are the second smallest of all the African pythons. Their name comes from their tendency to curl up into a ball when frightened or stressed. The average ball python can live to be around 30 years old, though the oldest ball python on record lived to be 47 years old. Adults can grow to be 3-5 feet long, with females tending to be larger than males. Ball pythons have become popular in the pet trade due to their docile temperament. They come in a wide assortment of morphs ranging from normal to clown, albino, and even blue eyed leucistic.

Red Blood Python
The Red Blood Python, also known as the Brongersmai short-tailed python and the red short-tailed python, is a species of python found in southwest Thailand, peninsular Malaysia, eastern Sumatra and some of the surrounding islands. They get their common names from their reddish coloration. This red coloration can range from a rich, bold red to a dusky, orange-red, although they sometimes exhibit rusty brown colors too.
Blood pythons are considered the largest species in the short-tail python family. They generally average 4 to 5 feet in length as captive adults. Healthy adult weight at this length is approximately 10 to 15 pounds. Older adults may reach lengths of more than 6 feet and weigh 20 pounds or more. Blood pythons are heavy-bodied, terrestrial snakes, and a 5-foot-long specimen is a solid, impressive animal!
