🎁🐍 Hi, I’m Boo — your gentle ball python hoping to find my forever home just in time for the season of giving! 🐍💛 I’ve been patiently waiting for someone to notice me… maybe you’ll be the special person who brings me home for the holidays. I came to the rescue back in September 2022 after a rough start. I was bought as a baby from a pet store, but when my first family moved out of state, I was sadly left behind. Thankfully, some kind humans made sure I was safe and brought me here, where I’ve been growing, thriving, and getting plenty of warmth and care in a cozy foster home. Even though I’m a common ball python, my clear patterns and colors make my foster family think I might have a hint of something special — maybe a little “holiday sparkle” like blade or something from the yellow belly complex. What I do know is that I’m calm, gentle, and sweet enough to earn the nickname “Baby-Boo.” Most of the day, you’ll find me tucked comfortably in my favorite hide, but I love coming out in the evenings (and sometimes mornings!) to explore. I’m just over 2 feet long for now and still growing. One of my favorite cozy-time hobbies? Burrowing into fresh sphagnum moss — it keeps me comfy and helps me shed smoothly! 🎁 A few fun facts about ball pythons like me: 🕯️ We’re primarily nocturnal, so we’re most active in the evenings and nights. 🎄 We can grow to 3–5 feet long as adults and live 30–40 years with proper care. ❄️ We’re generally gentle and easy to handle, making us great companions for responsible keepers. 🌟 Our name comes from our habit of curling into a tight “ball” when we feel unsure — hence, ball python! 🛖 We love hides and burrowing, which help us feel safe and secure. What I’m looking for is simple: a forever home where I’ll be safe, loved, and cared for. I’ll need the right habitat with secure housing, proper heat and humidity, and a diet that keeps me happy and healthy. Don’t worry — my rescue friends will guide you through everything so we can succeed together. I know what it feels like to be left behind, but I haven’t let that dim my spirit. I’m ready to bring calm, gentle charm (and maybe a little holiday warmth) into someone’s life.
