There are many ways to keep our animals. What works in one house might not in another.
To "rescue" is the real question......
For you? No. You have had your ball python almost two months. You are not the best option for the animal.
Are you capable of proper quarantine to protect your animal? Can you afford a couple hundred to a couple thousand dollars worth of potential medical bills? Again, no.
For me? Nope. Don't do rescues anymore. I smartened up real quick and still have two of them (had the for 7 or 8 years).
It sounds kind of hypocritical on my part because I will buy a new animal for my collection but not take in a free rescue........
When I purchase an animal, I have already researched the BREEDER.I also do have another room that currently has an empty quarantine rack and supplies in it.
See, the health and wellbeing of my animals comes above all others, period.
Not to mention I could not afford to replace all of my snakes should the worst thing ever happen.
