Avalon Snake Ball Python Durham, NC

Intake date: 6/25/23
Status: Available

Avalon is a female subadult ball python. She was surrendered because her owners were moving and she's been an easy keeper here. Avalon happily eats frozen/thawed small rodents. She is estimated to be about 1.5 years old. Avalon is very nervous with handling and would be best for an experienced snake owner. Her adoption fee is $50.

**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.**

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.
