Sunbeam Snake needs a good home

I recently acquired this female sunbeam snake at the NRBE in Daytona from LLLreptiles. IN a nutshell, it was an impulse purchase and I was not 100% prepared for what I got. I know, I know...shame on me.

So now I have this beautiful, and unique snake that has proven to be a little bit of a challenge. I need to downsize my collection some anyway, so she's on the list to go.

When I first got her, she had some skin blistering that is common with sunbeams. Since Ive had her, these issues have all but disappeared with the 3-4 sheds she's gone through (amazing what proper care will do to an animal, huh?). However, I have yet to get her to eat. These snakes are natural amphibians/reptile eaters, so getting one to convert to mice is about as difficult as it is for, say, an eastern hognose.

So I am offering this snake free to anyone who is experienced enough to care for her. If I do not feel you are "worthy," I have no qualms about keeping her until I find someone who is. This species is NOT for beginners, so I don't want newbies contacting me just wanting a free snake.

Please PM, email or text 251-604-5225 if you feel you qualify.

Thanks,
Michael

NOTE: I forgot to include that the adopter will have to pay for shipping.

Beautiful snake man. Hope you find her a home. Wish i could take her but, my girlfriend would kill me XD sorry i couldn't be of any help.

just for the heck of it .. try feeding using tuna juice as scent. I know it sounds odd but i was able to get a lot of hognose on rodents this way..

Have you found her a home?

Sorry guys.

She actually passed away several weeks ago. I would assume either stress, parasites, not eating, or all of the above did her in.

would love this snake if still available. Please call me 209-404-3107.
