Check out the "PLEASE READ!" section below with the adoption application, which is also available on our website at www.bewildnc.org!<br/><br/>Intake date: 11/27/23<br/>Status: Available<br/><br/>Mattis is a young adult old ball python. He is very stunted, when he was surrendered at 1 year he was about the size of a hatchling. Mattis is a little shy and can be a picky eater, but he usually eats F/T rodents or chicks and has definitely gained weight. Mattis is easy to handle and docile. His adoption fee is $50.<br/><br/>Care sheet: https://bewildnc.org/ball-python/<br/><br/>**We do not recommend glass tanks/aquariums for ball pythons due to humidity and security issues. If you use a glass tank, you MUST cover up at least 75% of the screen top with plastic, plexiglass, or foil tape AND provide a lot of cover. Many ball pythons will require that 3 of the glass sides are covered with paper or a background if they are more nervous. Please check out our care guide for alternative housing methods--we highly recommend PVC cages and appropriate bin setups.**<br/><br/>We do approve cages that are solid sided but have screen tops--they just MUST be modified. We've listed a few recommended cages below.<br/><br/>Sterilite 200 quart latching tote<br/>Dubia.com (screen top--must cover)<br/>Zen Habitats (screen top--must cover)<br/>EcoFlex (screen top--must cover; available on Amazon/Chewy)<br/>Reptile Basics<br/>The Gorgon's Head<br/>Toad Ranch<br/>Reptile Kages<br/>Black Box Cages<br/>Animal Plastics<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/.
