From the point of view of the ease of keeping, the gold is much better than the ball python, the gold python is in the subtropical region, the temperature, environment, food are not sensitive, easy to keep.

But the ball python on the contrary, such as: sensitive to temperature changes, will catch a cold, pneumonia, stomatitis, etc., sensitive to the environment, food, moving will refuse to eat.

From the feeding space, the ball python is better than the gold, gold grows faster, casually raise a 3, 4 meters, while the ball python maximum less than 2 meters, generally more than 1 meter.

My own opinion, gold is not suitable for home rearing! The ball python is more suitable, but feeding is more difficult, must understand more learning before raising
