Chickadee

Intake date: 6/21/25<br/>Status: Available<br/><br/>Chickadee is a 3.5 year old ball python who is very stunted due to previous husbandry issues. In our experience, stunted snakes will eventually get to their full size within several years of proper diet. Chickadee has an excellent appetite and happily eats every F/T rodent we give her. She is very food motivated but easy to handle. Her adoption fee is $50.<br/><br/>Chickadee will require a minimum 36" x 18" x 12" enclosure right now.<br/><br/>**We do NOT recommend glass tanks/aquariums for ball pythons due to humidity issues. While they can be appropriately modified, this is not easy for a beginner keeper and we have seen repeated issues with stuck shed and anorexia. Please check out our care guide for alternative housing methods--we recommend PVC cages and appropriate bin setups.**<br/><br/>PLEASE READ!<br/>If you are interested in adopting this animal, you need to fill out an application at https://bewildnc.org/apply/. Read the application carefully and answer the questions thoroughly. Above all, be honest! Research the species you would like to adopt in advance and consult multiple sources, we are happy to answer questions. Adopters agree to pick-up the animal in Durham within 7 days of their approval.
