In 2015 I became the caretaker of a two year old ball python named Nuri.
He lived with a family that was getting rid of him so they could get lizards instead.
Not long after adopting Nuri I began getting calls and emails from people that no longer wanted their snakes. Then came calls and emails about abused and neglected snakes that needed homes.
Before long I had become the caretaker of 12 ball pythons.
As of 2025, they range in ages from 10-27 years old.
Quite a few of the snakes that I took in were malnourished, living in filth, abused and terrified of people.
I connected with them on a telepathic and intuitive level to understand how they needed me to care for them.
I infused them with the energy that I felt they needed. I knew when they needed to eat, when they wanted attention and when they needed space.
With this understanding of their needs and a dedication to helping them heal, they are all healthy, happy and thriving. Some of them have gone through such transformations that it's hard to believe they're even the same snake.
I wish I could take in every snake in need of help but unfortunately I don't have the means to do so.
I want all of them to have plenty of attention, time outdoors and the proper housing and food.
If I were to take in more snakes it wouldn't be fair to these that have put their trust in me to take care of them and provide them with what they need.
If you have a snake that needs to be re-homed please connect with rescue groups in your area before putting them on Craigslist of social marketplaces.
There are a lot of scammers, breeders and resellers out there that don't have the snakes best interests at heart.
And please do not release outside and assume that they'll be fine.
If you feel called to have a snake in your life, please adopt one in need of a home rather than from a breeder or pet store. Most breeders keep adult snakes in stacks of small plastic tubs and only get them out to breed them. That is no life for a snake.
I personally wish that none of them had never become people's "pets" in the first place because they all deserve freedom. Not a life spent in aquariums and plastic containers.
Before adopting a snake, please do your research. Snakes in captivity can live anywhere from 15-40+ years depending on the breed. Make sure you are willing to take care of the snake for the entirety of it's life. These are not novelty items that you have for a year or two and then get rid of. They get attached to their humans. Please also make sure that you have the time and finances for a snake. They require proper heating, lighting, humidity, clean housing, fresh water and a feeding schedule. These things all take time and money.
