Adopting!

[jknudson]

I found an ad online while searching initially for puppies, a female ball python at a Reptile rescue in Wisconsin called Serpents Circle Reptile Rescue.

Her name is Phara, and she's an adult female that came to the rescue from another center that found her in a cage in abandoned house with some dogs that they were going to rescue. She is eating F/T small/medium rats once weekly. As far as they now she is said to be CH or CBB and they didn't have a weight for me...but in her pictures she looks really plump and healthy.

She has a great looking pattern with some real high whites rising from the belly, with some nice blushing. All of that snake for a $45 adoption fee.

I filled out the application for her, and was approved. Also, come to find out that the people from the rescue will be attending the show in WI this next weekend, so I'll be finishing my paperwork and bringing her home with me!

I'm glad that I can give her a quality home for the next 10+ years of her life. (No exact age on her) When she gets home I"ll be taking her to see my local exotics vet for a check-up and a proper probing to be certain on her sex.

When she's all settled in I'll take some more pictures of her for you all. And I actually like the name, so I think I'll be keeping it.

she is very pretty. is here eye gold or is there glare or something?

awesome!! i hope u do well with her


btw i noticed in the shot that the eyes look like there may be a retained eyecap. now it could just be the shot but u should check into that.

good luck!!!!!!!!

I believe its probably a camera flash, could be a retained eye cap. They told me that when they took her pictures she was in a shed, so a retained cap is a good possibility. With some TLC I'll get those right off.

I too saw that adoption add.

I wouldnt mind a big healthy girl like her but I decided against it since we are also going to the reptile show in WI and probably going to buy a juvy female there.

She is a hottty though!
I bet you're going to give her a great home!

Every time I look at Khan I think how great it is giving him one on one and being able to give him the care he needs

Good luck and keep me updated....

I'll be looking for a few juvenile females as well, or some other snakes to add to the collection.

I've got her home all warmed up for her, and ready to go!

Thanks for the wishes of luck Khan, BTW I'm a MN dweller...close though

Gooooo Gophers!

Oh, and I hope to run into a few BP.net'ers at the show. I'll probably be wearing my chicago bears hat, so look for the short guy in the white hat and come say hi.
