My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Grimbolina Pretzel – Your Unique, Alien-Patterned Nocturnal Friend!

Grimbolina Pretzel (or Grim for short) is a one-of-a-kind beauty with an enchanting pattern full of little "alien heads" that make this snake truly stand out. Though relatively young, Grim is mature and thrives on evening explorations, often making a friendly appearance once the sun goes down. Grim is happiest at night, enjoying social time and exploring outside the enclosure whenever possible.

This 5+ foot-long, active snake needs a secure enclosure with a lock, as Grim has been known to take the occasional self-guided tour! Grim would do best with an experienced adopter or adult who can supervise exploration outside the tank and who understands that Grim prefers not to have the head or neck touched; otherwise, Grim is easygoing and enjoys interacting once settled in.

Grim is seeking a snake-loving family who understands nocturnal rhythms and has experience providing the right environment for a healthy, thriving snake. With proper care, Grim can live up to 30-40 years and will need a secure, spacious habitat with appropriate substrate, temperature, and humidity control.

Grim’s journey began when a previous family, who adopted Grim from a neighbor, realized they were admirers but not ready for snake ownership. Wanting the best for Grim, they entrusted Grim to us to find a perfect forever home with a dedicated snake family.

More about this rescue

Small Breed Rescue of Southern California is an all-volunteer, non-profit, foster based organization funded by donations. We are dedicated to rescuing small breed dogs, small reptiles and select exotic pets primarily from public shelters and other rescues. Being committed to keeping administrative expenses low, virtually every dollar received goes directly to the care of the animals.

Our rescue is uniquely structured to rehabilitate animals who are at high risk of euthanasia due to manageable behavioral challenges, such as dogs who are declining in a shelter environment or reptiles / exotics that have not been properly handled over their lifetime. We develop relationships to accommodate these specific assistance needs, which is what differentiates us from other rescue organizations.

We have assembled a foster team that consists of experienced individuals who bring particular skills from the animal welfare industry. This enables us to grow, educate and enrich our foster community in a manner that supports our specific needs and those of our animals.

Our group remains interested in and committed to the welfare of the animals beyond the adoption process by providing education, training tips, resource references, and an open door policy to our adopters.
