Hello! My name is Boo - but don't be scared! My foster calls me Baby-Boo :)
I am easy to handle and I behave myself with my foster family. Being nocturnal, I spend most of the day sleeping in my hide but I do like to come out in the evening to socialize. Sometimes I will still be awake in the morning, too!
Though there is no way to really tell what age I am, based on my size I am considered a juvenile still. My species can live a long and healthy life of up to 30 to 40 years. Bringing me into your family is a lifelong commitment, for both of us! Currently, I am 2 feet long and growing. Fun fact about me - I prefer sphagnum moss to help me with my sheds more than anything else.
Since the foster isn't quite sure what I am yet, it is good to know that adult female ball pythons will average 3 to 5 feet long, and adult male ball pythons average 2 to 3 feet in size. As a full adult, I can weigh between 3 and 5 lbs.
I will require my own habitat that is secure with the right diet, habitat, substrate, temperature, and humidity. Don’t worry, the rescue will provide you with all the information that you will need to prepare for my arrival.
I was originally purchased at a pet store and unfortunately, my owner had to move shortly after and couldn't take me with them so I went to the shelter and then the nice people at SBRSC found me a foster family. Could that be with you?
If you would like to get to know more about me, just fill out the super quick application and an adoption counselor will be in touch! Just click the button at the bottom of my bio on the rescue website, here is the link - https://www.smallbreedrescue.org/Home/AnimalDetails/8362
PLEASE NOTE:
1- We can only accept applications from interested parties who are in or near San Diego County, California at this time.
2- We do not ship reptiles but we may be willing to work with you if you are willing to travel if you are still in Southern California.
3- #2 will depend on the animal that you are applying for and is at the discretion of the board of directors.

Small Breed Rescue of Southern California is an all-volunteer, non-profit, foster based organization funded by donations. We are dedicated to rescuing small breed dogs, small reptiles and select exotic pets primarily from public shelters and other rescues. Being committed to keeping administrative expenses low, virtually every dollar received goes directly to the care of the animals.
Our rescue is uniquely structured to rehabilitate animals who are at high risk of euthanasia due to manageable behavioral challenges, such as dogs who are declining in a shelter environment or reptiles / exotics that have not been properly handled over their lifetime. We develop relationships to accommodate these specific assistance needs, which is what differentiates us from other rescue organizations.
We have assembled a foster team that consists of experienced individuals who bring particular skills from the animal welfare industry. This enables us to grow, educate and enrich our foster community in a manner that supports our specific needs and those of our animals.
Our group remains interested in and committed to the welfare of the animals beyond the adoption process by providing education, training tips, resource references, and an open door policy to our adopters.
