It more or less probably depends on what country in Europe you are in and then from there what city or town, I would search your local area for animals that are illegal and ones that are legal to have. I'm sure that they would have some sort of laws listed up on a website,if anything contact your local wild life center and ask them because they would be more clear on that aspect of having a ball python as a pet, however if they are sold in pet stores in your area then surely they are legal. As for feeding you feed them mice,I believe it's like once a week. Make sure their habitat stays warm with heating lights and rocks,give them plenty of water and make sure it's clean,also handle the snake as often as possible when it isn't in the process of digesting food so that it gets used to being touched and move for when you do cleaning.

Surely it is fun like you said searching through all the different types of snakes, I would find it hard to choose just one though as there are different ones you can get. Will you get a breeding pair or just one and would you get a male or female? there is just so much to decide on, and of course if it doesn't matter you can just let them randomly choose for you. Make sure you are up to date on how to care for the snake, you don't want to make any mistakes or be mistaken about some facts and if anything always ask a snake breeder all the questions you have, I would write a list down and get your answers,make sure they give you straight forward answers as well and not beat around the bush.

Snakes are still unpredictable though and so it's good that you are learning about the snakes and how to care for them, I hope the breeder you get a snake from is very responsible and will give you a good quality snake that won't pass away right away, take it to the vet and make sure it's all healthy and nothing is wrong with it just to be on the safe side.
