They seem boring to me. Whn ever you see them on a vid they just curl up. They don't seem very interactive.

I don't expect anything, was just stating that compared Aus pythons who are inqusitive and active, Ball Pythons seem boring.

No, they have the Rock Python (2 sub species), the Ball Python and also the Angolan Python as well as a few species of Sand Boas.
