Boas & Pythons |
Ball Python, male, 5 1/2 yrs old ("Sparky")
Unfortunately, I need to find a wonderful home for him for several different reasons including
space issues in my small apartment and I am starting school. I realize that ball pythons don't take
a lot of time and they don't need a huge space to live in but I feel strongly that he deserves the
opportunity for more attention and a bit larger living space. It saddens a great deal since I made
the commitment years ago when I got him (I'm a teacher and got him for the classroom) and he is SO sweet!
(especially being around children). This is difficult for me.

Ball Python (male, 1 yr old) and Red Tail Boa (female, 3 yrs old)
We have one year old ball python male and a 3 year old red tail boa female.
These are amazing creatures each with their own unique personality. Both are gorgeous.
We are planning on moving soon and don't think that it would be a good move for
our snakes so we would love for them to be adopted into a new home.
We love our animals very much and we know that you will also.
The snakes are in their cage fully equipped with heat lamp, water bowl, sand and branches.
