My name is Jane Whited owner of Mickey’s Nightmare. I have owned & operated the ICU since 2004 as well as breed. Every year I add new breeders. I would like to welcome other breeders to consider my ICU as an option to euthanasia. To my knowledge, I’m the only ICU for ball pythons & boas. I take sick(IBD not accepted & carefully screened), injured, birth defects and non-feeding snakes. The babies with birth defects are not saved for breeders but rather to learn more about the various defects and to educate. This is all done confidentially as not to harm anyone’s reputation but for the snakes best interest. Isn’t this how we all got started in the first place? I have a love for these that is unsurpassed. I take great pride in being able to heal and see these babies thrive. I believe that all should have the same chance. We have had a couple more breeders agree to send us their problem babies this year. We are currently accepting patients from reputable breeders.
Hatching season is here, while I wish you well with all your breeds please keep us in mind for those babies that need special care. I have the time and would love to help. I have a 95% success rate with these. If there is a possibility of a het please let me know as I try very hard to keep genetics straight.
Also, the Captive Hatch babies are coming in by the thousands.
As we all know there will be some that arrive sick, dehydrated and don’t have the willingness to thrive. These babies will be welcome here as well. I have an 80% success rate with these: sunken bellies, wrinkled, regurgers, non-feeding, blister, scale rot, etc. Sex doesn’t matter, the only thing that I ask is that you tell me what you know about the animals so that I can be prepared.
I also take normals from Co-dom clutches, males too. I have a no-fee adoption list with people pre-screened waiting on healthy animals for pets. Shipping is expensive enough.
Adults are welcome as well as long as it either tame or under six feet as I can't handle the larger pythons & boas.
Currently I’m accepting: ball pythons, boas including arboreals, bloods, children's, spotted, womas, corns, milks and kings. I know of someone who does burms, retics & hots but I’m just not equipped at this time. If you would like their info please contact me.
Please make the right decision for these special babies!
