Meet Alex Russo, a stunning 1.5-year-old Pastel Banana Clown ball python known for her soft lavender spots and incredibly gentle temperament. Alex is very docile and hand-friendly, making her a fantastic snake for beginners and experienced keepers alike.
She’s a reliable, enthusiastic eater and sheds beautifully with no issues. Alex has also been shown at events, community programs, and educational activities—always calm, patient, and an absolute star around people. This girl is as steady as they come and would make a wonderful, easy-going companion for someone who appreciates a snake with both beauty and charm.

Founded in 2018, Cactus Ranch Rescues was born out of equal parts compassion, caffeine, and good ol’ Texas stubbornness — a response to the heartbreaking overpopulation crisis facing our state’s pets.
Originally tucked away on peaceful acreage in Elgin, TX, the ranch quickly turned into a full-blown rescue rodeo — with wagging tails, woolly coats, and the occasional feathered diva demanding VIP treatment. (Yes, we once shared the barn with a duck who thought she was management.)
After a short hiatus — because even rescuers need a nap and a moment to remember what “free time” is — we’re back and thriving in Bryan, TX! Our space might be smaller now, but our hearts are still Texas-sized, and our determination to save lives could lasso the moon.
These days, we mostly focus on domestic animals (because we finally admitted we can’t fit a cow in the living room). We serve as a stepping stone rescue — helping dogs go from crisis to comfort, from “code red” to couch-ready. Think of us as the halfway house for hounds, the pit stop for pups, and the emotional support humans for anyone with paws.
Every animal that finds their way to the "Ranch" becomes part of our family — quirks, belly rub demands, and all. We rebuild trust, restore joy, and prove daily that even the most broken spirits can wag again.
Cactus Ranch Rescues — where healing begins, one wag and heartbeat at a time.
