Valentino #12486

Meet Valentino: A Timeless Love in Serpentine Form! ???<br/><br/>Valentino is a stunning common ball python with a heart as golden as their scales. This gentle soul is looking for a forever home where love and companionship will last a lifetime. True to their name, Valentino is all about warmth, patience, and the kind of love that only deepens with time.<br/><br/>Surrendered to a shelter in November 2023, Valentino’s previous family made the difficult decision to part ways after nearly two decades of care. Originally adopted as a baby by a young student, life’s responsibilities—work, travel, and time constraints—made it impossible for them to provide the attention Valentino deserves. Wanting only the best for their beloved snake, they did what they felt was right and surrendered Valentino in hopes of a brighter future.<br/><br/>After three months in the shelter with little interest, Valentino found their way to our rescue, where we have worked tirelessly to provide enrichment, care, and plenty of interaction. While Valentino has been a wonderful guest, nothing would make this snake happier than finally settling into a forever home filled with love and devotion.<br/><br/>If you’re worried about the long-term commitment of a ball python, Valentino may be the perfect match for you. Already 19 years old and well past the unpredictable hatchling phase, this seasoned sweetheart is ready to spend the rest of their years—whether 5 or even 20 more—being cherished by someone special.<br/><br/>Valentino is the kind of companion who will be there through life’s ups and downs, always steady, always patient, and always ready to curl up in the comfort of home. Could this be the beginning of your own love story?<br/><br/>? PLEASE NOTE:<br/>? We can only accept applications from interested adopters in or near San Diego County, California.<br/>?
