Pink Lady Exotics
"Queen Quarantine"
I purchased a ball python from someone in Florida a few weeks ago, and instead of being sent the one that was advertised, I was sent this male. I contacted the seller, he refuses to acknowledge his false advertisement nor admits he should refund my money. I don't really have space for a normal male, so I'd much rather he go to his own home as someone's pet.
He obviously had an irresponsible owner at some point in his life, because he has burn scars on his belly and sides from an uncontrolled heat source -- my assumption being a heat rock or heat bulb that he wrapped himself around. They are healed, and they don't affect him -- he seems to not mind being handled gently and does everything a normal ball python does. He's a fantastic eater on weaned/small rats -- dead or alive. He's taken live for me, but he also eagerly took one that another snake had killed but didn't eat. I just dangled it by the tongs and he was on it. His feeding response when he smells food is STRONG -- not aggressive, but very motivated by the scent of prey. He will come out of his tub to come get it. Because of this, I prefer he goes to a snake-experienced owner.
I'm not asking an adoption fee, just cover shipping. If I don't know you as a regular member on Fauna, I have to ask to see your enclosure before sending him. I want to make sure you have all the necessary equipment so this guy doesn't run the risk of getting burned/mistreated/sick again.
If you're interested, please drop me an e-mail. Thanks!
