Royals are always nice to have around. They're just sweet snakes.

P.S. I prefer the name "Royal" python too, it more accurately represents the latin name Python regius. Plus they were always called Royal pythons in my old books.

The name "Ball Python" only seems to have come into general usage more recently. I don't think "Ball" Python does such a beautiful snake justice!
