Adult ball python + enclosure $150 (Maple Ridge)
Description
We're looking for an experienced home for our rescued ball python.
We took him in about a year ago from severely neglectful conditions where he was underweight, dehydrated, and in generally bad shape. We're happy to see him now thriving, but unfortunately with our busy schedules, we don't feel that we can dedicate the time and attention he deserves.
His age is unknown, but he's around 130cm and weighs in at 2kg. He's calm and good with handling. He gets fed a 100g frozen/thawed rat every other weekend and has never refused a meal. He sheds roughly every 6 weeks, which goes well so long as his humidity is kept at the recommended 60-80%. He has recently developed cataracts, but they don't seem to impact his quality of life.
He comes with his 40gal tank but would benefit from a 120gal upgrade in the future. The substrate is a bioactive mix seeded with springtails, powder orange isopods, and a few nightcrawlers. There's also a pothos plant, which is a little ragged from his destructive tirades, but it's hanging in there. His setup includes two Arcadia 80w DHPs in dome lamps, two ZooMed digital display thermostats, a NICREW ClassicLED Plus light with timed sunrise/sunset feature, a Thrive automatic mister, two digital combo thermometer/hydrometers, two hides, a water dish, decor, a backup/spare CHE, extra unopened coco coir, metal feeding tongs, and a critter keeper for transport.
Please provide us some information regarding your experience with snakes if you're interested. It is imperative to us that he will be cared for, and not just fall into neglect once again.
