Nemo's Story

Meet Nemo: Nemo is a pastel clown morph ball python. Nemo was privately surrendered to Reptilia. ENCLOSURE: The bigger the better! But no smaller than 36" x 18" x 18" for an adult SUBSTRATE: Ball pythons do best with a mixture of substrates that retains humidity, such as soil, sand, mulch and moss. HIDES: Offer ample hiding space with at least one hide on the warm side and one on the cool side. A thermometer and humidity gauge will help make sure the temperature is correct. LIGHTING: Ball Pythons require a day and night cycle. UVB is not required but there are some benefits of having UVB, such as improving overall health and immune system. TEMPERATURE & HUMIDTY: Daytime: 75-80°F on the cool side and 80-85°F on the warm side. Basking spot should be 88-92°F. Nighttime: 70-75°F. DIET: Carnivores, preying on frozen thawed rats, mice, chicks, or quail. Juveniles eat weekly while adults can be offered a meal every 3-4 weeks. Ball pythons are known for going off food for periods of time at random. WATER: Offer fresh water from a dish at all times. SHEDDING: Juveniles and babies will shed more frequently since they are growing quickly. Adults will shed less frequently. During shed the snake may refuse food, and be a little more defensive! TEMPERAMENT: Ball pythons are a very common pet snake due to their docile nature and natural inclination to hide in defence rather than bite. LIFESPAN: Ball pythons can live for 25-35+ years. One ball python in the United States just turned 52! Ball pythons are a very common pet snake due to their docile nature and natural inclination to hide in defence rather than bite.

Our Mission

Through our reptile adoption program, we help members of the public reach out to us when they have a pet that they can no longer keep. Although we attempt to provide homes for as many animals as we can, the zoo only has so much space. Unfortunately, most animal shelters may not have the knowledge, or facilities, to help the...
