My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Clover: A Curious, Sweet-Natured Companion Looking for a Forever Home

Gentle, curious, and endlessly charming—Clover is the kind of companion that quietly weaves their way into your heart.

Brought into rescue in mid-March 2023 after their previous owner could no longer provide care, Clover has spent the last year thriving in foster care. Now, over 12 months later, this young ball python is more than ready to settle into a forever home of their own.

At just under 3 feet long with a little over 1 inch in girth, Clover is growing beautifully and remains a consistent, healthy eater—never once refusing a meal. Foster mom describes them as snuggly, easy to handle, and extremely curious, often found exploring every inch of their enclosure with calm interest. When not out for a gentle stretch or investigating their surroundings, Clover enjoys resting securely, soaking in the peace of a cozy hide.

Though classified as a common ball python, Clover’s unique patterning hints at something extra—possibly Enchi influence, evident in the brighter tones and reduced pattern often associated with the morph. Their stunning markings make them a standout among so-called “normals.”

Clover would be a wonderful match for both beginner and experienced reptile keepers who can provide a secure, enriching habitat and continued social interaction. They’re a confident and calm snake who thrives with attention and handling, and would love a home where they can continue to explore, grow, and be adored.

More about this rescue

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.
