Hi there — my name is Clover, and 2026 is my year to find my forever family. 🐍💛 I’m gentle, curious, and endlessly charming — the kind of companion who quietly slithers into your heart. No tricks, just warmth, curiosity, and love! I came into rescue on March 15, 2023, after my previous owner could no longer care for me. Since then, I’ve been in foster care, where I’ve grown into a confident, sweet young ball python. Now, I’m more than ready to find my forever home, where I can be safe, loved, and cherished. I’m just under 3 feet long and a little over 1 inch in girth, and I’ve been a wonderfully consistent eater — never once refusing a meal! My foster says I’m snuggly, curious, and easy to handle. I love exploring my enclosure with calm interest, but I’m just as happy soaking in the peace of a cozy hide. Though I’m classified as a common ball python, my unique patterning suggests I might have some Enchi influence, giving me brighter tones and reduced patterns that make me truly stand out. My markings are anything but ordinary — just like me! ✨ Ball Python – Species & Personality Facts ✨ • Typically grow to 3–5 feet as adults • Lifespan: 30–40 years in captivity with proper care • Calm, gentle, and friendly — ideal for both beginner and experienced keepers • Primarily nocturnal — most active in the evenings and nights • Curl into a tight “ball” when unsure, which is where our name comes from • Love hides and burrowing to feel safe, secure, and cozy 🏠 Husbandry & Enclosure Requirements 🏠 • Minimum enclosure: 4 feet long × 2 feet wide × 2 feet tall (bigger is always better) • Enclosures should prioritize ground space over height • Front-opening enclosures are ideal to reduce stress • Temperature gradient: warm side 88–92°F, cool side 78–80°F • Moderate humidity, with access to a water bowl for soaking • Multiple hides to feel safe and secure • Simple, functional décor works best — cozy and calm 🐍 I’m looking for a human who: • Can provide safe, thermostat-controlled heat 🔥 • Knows (or wants to learn) proper ball python care, including temperature, humidity, and safe handling • Is patient and gentle, giving me time to explore and settle in — 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to get to know each other, and 3 months to truly feel at home ⏳ • Can provide a secure, enriching habitat and lots of calm, gentle attention I’m ready to bring my sweet, curious, and heartwarming nature into the right home.
