🎃🐍 Hi there, spooky friends! I’m Oogie Boogie CinnaRoll — but you can call me Oogie! 🐍🎃 I slithered into rescue life back on September 6, 2022, and I’ve been waiting ever since for my boo-tiful forever home! 👻 I’m a curious, adventurous ball python with just the right mix of mystery and charm — about 2.5 feet long with a 5-inch circumference — the perfect size for a cozy curl-up under the moonlight. 🌙💛 At first, I might act a little shy (hey, even ghouls need time to warm up!), but once I feel safe, I love to explore and peek around every nook and cranny of my lair. 🕸️ Just make sure my home is nice and secure — I’m clever and have been known to test the locks once or twice. 😅🔒 🦇 A few fang-tastic facts about ball pythons like me: 🎃 We’re named “ball” pythons because we curl into a tight little ball when we feel nervous or just want to chill. 👻 We’re primarily nocturnal — which means I’m a nighttime adventurer and a daytime napper. 🕯️ We’re one of the most popular pet snakes because of our gentle nature and calm temperament. 🍬 With good care, we can live 30–40 years — that’s decades of hiss-tory together! 🦴 Ball pythons need the right temps (about 80–90°F) and humidity (around 50–60%) to stay healthy and happy. I’m healthy, young, and always ready for dinner time (feeding nights are basically my favorite holiday 🦇🍗). I came to the rescue as a stray, and now I’m hoping to find a forever home where I can finally feel safe, cozy, and loved — maybe even in time to watch a few scary movies with you this Halloween. 🎬🕷️ 💛 If you’d like to make me part of your family, please click the Adoption Application button below — I can’t wait to meet you! 👻🎃 ✨ PLEASE NOTE: 1️⃣🎃 We can only accept applications from interested parties who are in or near San Diego County, California at this time. 2️⃣💀 We do not ship reptiles 🚫✈️ but may be willing to work with you if you’re able to travel 🚗. 3️⃣🕸️ #2 will depend on the animal you’re applying for and is at the discretion of the board of directors.



Quick Reference Guide

Animal Type
Snake
Breed
Ball Python
Introduction
Ball pythons, also known as the Royal Python, are a non-venomous, constrictor species native to the bushlands and savannas of Central and Western Africa. They are a medium-sized snake ranging from 3-6 feet. These snakes are crepuscular, which means that they are most active at night, but especially active around dawn and dusk. As ambush hunters, they actively track down and then wait for prey such as rodents, birds, and lizards to scurry past before striking. Ball pythons are sexually dimorphic, which means there is a noteworthy difference in size between males(smaller) and females (larger), but not as large in some other snake species. Ball pythons have a 15-30 year lifespan in captivity.
Difficulty
Beginner
Difficulty Notes
Ball pythons are among the most popular pet snakes. They are good beginner snakes because they are docile and easy to handle.
Basking Temp
95-104
Ambient Temp
80-86
Lowest Temp
72-78
Temp Notes
The use of undertank heat mats with glass tanks or radiant heat panels as internal heaters for night heat, and cage guarded halogen/incandescent bulbs as day heat is preferred. Never install any heating device without plugging it into a thermostat and always securely wire the thermostat probe within the heating range of the device generating heat.
Diet
Carnivore
Diet Notes
Frozen thawed rodents in sizes equal to the girth of your snake at its center. Feeding frequency in general is 1 prey item fed in intervals coorisponding to the length in feet of your snake. A one foot snake would be fed weekly, a 4 foot snake every 4 weeks, etc. As ball pythons get larger their metabolism slows down. This is a guidleine, so adjust to the health of your specific snake to maintain a healthy weight.

Enclosure Notes
While females are largely terrestrial, males and juviniles are considered semi-arborial as they have a liking to climb and hunt in trees.
Substrate
Coco Chips
Substrate Notes
Coconut husk chip substrate absorbs odors and moisture very well. A layer of about 4" is preferred.
Humidity
High (70-100%)
Humidity Notes
Ball Pythons prefer humid environments and should be provided a humid hide if possible.
