    Buying captive-born ball pythons reduces the stress on the threatened populations in the wild and helps ensure you will get a healthy, established eater and a snake already used to contact with humans.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True
    Explanation
    Buying captive-born ball pythons reduces stress on threatened populations in the wild because it decreases the demand for wild-caught snakes. By purchasing captive-born pythons, individuals are supporting breeding programs that aim to maintain healthy populations in captivity and reduce the need to capture snakes from their natural habitats. Additionally, captive-born pythons are more likely to be healthy and accustomed to human interaction, making them easier to handle and care for as pets.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. True

However, it is important to note that there can be variations in size among individuals, so it is not an absolute rule.
