Ball pythons have piercing dark eyes that often carry the same colored patterns as their bodies, with tiny stripes or lines running through them.

Regular ball pythons are black or dark brown, with light brown or gold sides. The belly is white or cream. But the banana ball python is a light orange-yellow color with a purple coloration.
