Advice on keeping ball pythons as pets

Anyone have any experience with this and can speak on how much “maintenance” ball pythons require?
Kids are allergic to dogs/cats, but it’s time they learn some responsibility via pet ownership…

Get an aquarium and don't be an idiot

Don't do it. Snakes suck

Most important thing you need to worry about when installing any kind of large animal aquarium in your home is to not bump into your above-ground pool or jacuzzi when brining it inside. I would also say that your cigarette smoke may be noxious for the snake, but if you keep the window units on, it should pull that smoke air out.

I really hope you’re trolling. Pythons and Pit Bulls are not pets.

Get a neck tattoo so you don't look like a poser at the pet store.

Ball pythons are very tame. If your set on getting a snake, it's your best bet. They don't get very big. Just make sure the top of your aquarium is very secure. They have a habit of getting out.

They live for a long time. If you are just getting it for your kids, don’t. That thing will end up living with you for another 10+ years after they have left the house.
if you do decide to get one, Ball pythons are extremely docile. They would rather curl up into a ball when they are afraid vs strike out (hence the name ball python).
They are super easy to care for. Just get 2 separate tanks. One for them to live in and one to feed them in. You don’t want to feed them in their “home.”
Get a good heat rock as opposed to lamp. It’s easier to control. They also need a good bit of water. Something that they can completely submerge themselves in is best.
Before purchasing, make sure that you have some place close where you can easily get feeder mice and then rats when it’s bigger.
They can also get out of just about anything. You will need a tank that has a lid lock, and you will probably still need put something on top of it to hold it down.
Also, someone will need to take the snake out every day and handle it. It’s not something that you are just going to leave in a tank. So make sure you prepare for that.

Honestly, I think we're all in agreement it's likely better to get a cute puppy and put the kids up for adoption and have new babies. Your future grandchildren deserve a cute Golden too, Pop Pop.
