'SunSpot' male Pastel BP needs a new home

[Argentra]

Due to rising rent and other unfortunate events, I have to find a new home for my rescued pastel BP, SunSpot. This pretty fella is nearly 4 years old now, and has been my special snake. I posted the story of his rescue here (the link is below), and that tells you why I need to find someone with good experience caring for ball pythons. SunSpot needs infrequent, slow and gentle handling as he still flinches and hides whenever picked up, and his lower half needs to be held up. When he eats, and he does go off food from time to time, he is voracious and quite fast. He takes FT wean size rats (he's afraid of larger prey). I haven't weighed him in a while, but he usually sits at around 900g. I suspect he his a lemon pastel, as he still shows very nice bright yellows.

I can include the following package with him - his fully insulated 20gal long tank with foil treated, locking screen top, 2 UTH pads (foil taped underneath), Acurite thermometers, hides, water bowl, and plants. He does NOT do well in tubs, and prefers a smaller enclosure. He has lived in this tank most of his life and loves it, so it's the best thing for him.

A good, experienced home where he will be loved is my priority, but I cannot really give him away free due to money issues. So, for him with all his equipment I would ask a mere $80 OBO. If you already have a similar size tank and supplies, then I will sell him alone, just make an offer. Please PM me with questions or offers, and know that I will quiz you to make sure you'll be a good fit for him.
Due to weather, and his nervousness, he is pickup only in the Seattle metro area (I can meet from Shoreline to Tacoma). Thank you.
