Rasor is a ball python, possibly male, about 3-4 years of age, who is healthy and held on a regular basis. He came to us with a very stuck shed and may need assistance (baths with Zilla shed ease) with future sheds. He is eating one frozen/thawed weaned rat once weekly. He is a normal with a yellow along his sides. He weighs about 1 ½ lbs (667 grams) and is about 40 inches long. He can move pretty fast for a ball python (which are pretty slow snakes) and may get scared of sudden attempts to hold him or if approached from above. Petting him a bit first seems to help, then scooping him up.
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.
Currently eating frozen-thawed fuzzy-hopper mice. Making feeding safe, simple, and convenient. This ensures proper nutrition while eliminating the risks associated with live prey.
This very fine pastel Ball Python goes by the name Fiddler. He is a wonderful fellow who is handled on a regular basis and enjoys some exploring time outside his enclosure. He is about 10 years old, weighs about 3.44 lbs (1559 grams) and eats a frozen thawed medium rat every two to three weeks, depending on his shed cycle. He sheds well when his enclosure is about 60% humidity. He is about four feet plus long and his forever enclosure should be 4’ x 2’ x 18” in height or larger. He is not much of a climber so 18” in height for the enclosure should be fine. He is on the slower side when out and about (like many ball pythons are), exploring carefully. A real sweetie. Would make a great pet for a family looking for a full grown snake that is people and holding friendly. He was in shed when we took these photos. His colors are more pronounced after he sheds.
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.
This beautiful corn snake has a calm and friendly temperament, making it a wonderful choice for both new and experienced reptile keepers. Easy to handle and comfortable around people, this snake enjoys gentle interaction and is used to being handled regularly. With its warm orange and caramel tones, it’s not only stunning to look at but also a great ambassador for how personable and easygoing corn snakes can be!
Currently eating frozen-thawed rats, mice, and chicks of appropriate size.
This adorable hognose snake is full of personality and charm! Known for its signature upturned nose and curious behavior, this little one is both friendly and easy to handle. It’s calm, inquisitive, and enjoys gentle interaction, making it a fantastic companion for keepers who appreciate a snake with a bit of attitude and a lot of character. With its unique pattern and endearing expression, this hognose is sure to win hearts wherever it goes!
Spector is a normal ball python that looks like he may have something else in him as well. He is full grown and is over four feet long, although he is tough to get an exact measurement of his length on. He is handled regularly though is often in his hide during the day when in his enclosure. He weighs a little over 3 lbs (1400 grams) and is a good eater, eating a medium frozen/thawed rat about once every 10 days to two weeks. He likes to explore when let out to roam, though prefers to explore under pillows or behind things than being out in the open.
Penelope is a possibly female approximately 10 year old normal pattern ball python. She is a sweetie who is shy and mellow. She is handled on a regular basis and in good health. She is about four feet long and weighs a little over 3 lbs (1399 g). She eats a medium frozen/thaw rat once every ten days to two weeks. While we take her out to explore she never goes too far and moves slowly. She would make a great pet for anyone who likes to just hang out with a snake on a couch. She seems to enjoy being petted and held, and sitting on a warm lap. Not for breeding.

This is a special case and their fee is set at a fair market value.
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.

They were highly informative and gave us all we needed to ensure our guy was going to be cared for properly.
