This adult ball python is a strong, healthy individual with excellent feeding consistency and a solid body condition. She is currently eating very well and has shown no issues with prey response or routine care.
At this time, she is not particularly handle-tolerant and can be defensive when approached. For this reason, she would be best suited for an experienced keeper who understands ball python behavior and is comfortable working with snakes that may require patience, consistency, and limited handling.
With proper enclosure setup, predictable routines, and time to settle, many ball pythons become more tolerant as they gain confidence in their environment. This snake would make a good candidate for someone looking for a display-focused animal or a project animal with long-term potential.

As an education-based company, we do purchase reptiles. Sometimes these reptiles do not work out for our educational presentations and this can be for a variety of reasons. While they may not work out for us as animal ambassadors that does not mean they make bad pets, in this section below you will find reptiles that are available for purchase. Please be aware that these animals were not purchased with the rescues funds nor are they to be considered adoptions or rescues.
There are four available; they are all established and feeding well on frozen, thawed pinks. Long story short, they were not consistently feeding for the person who produced them. He gave them to the rescue, and all proceeds from their sale benefit the Rescue.

There are 3 available. These were produced by the Rescues' Director Brian P.
All are healthy and vigorously feeding on frozen, thawed fuzzy mice. This has been a lifelong goal for me. They are a species in serious decline in the wild and simply amazing to behold once they go through their color change.

This striking tricolored hognose has quite the story, he was found roaming inside an apartment building just outside of New York City! With his vivid colors, he’s a truly beautiful and unique snake. However, this little wanderer is a special adoption case. Tricolored hognoses naturally have shorter lifespans than many other snakes, and because we don’t know his age, potential adopters should be aware that he could pass away from natural causes at any time. He deserves a loving, comfortable home for whatever time he has left, a gentle reminder of the compassion behind every rescue.

New world terrestrial. A large spider with some reaching 8"+. These guys are also pretty hardy. They tend to be skittish & kick a lot of hair, so not one I recommend for handling. However, they are beautiful & watching them eat is always a blast! They have a crazy feeding response & they eat like pigs!!!
This little guy was found on the doorstep of Creatures Comforts Animal Hospital in Poughkeepsie NY. Checked out and then turned over to HVR he has successfully fed 3 times and is ready to find his loving forever home.
