Meet Sand Dollar Reeses, a gentle and striking ball python who has been in rescue care since June 12, 2022—over 450 days of waiting patiently for a forever home.
Sand Dollar has a unique trait: their beautiful brown scales lighten when they’re about to shed and turn darker after. Measuring 51 inches long with an 8-inch girth, Sand Dollar is described as incredibly chill when being handled. In the evenings, they love to explore, often slithering around curiously while relaxing on the couch with their handler.
Despite their calm nature, Sand Dollar needs a secure habitat as they continue to grow. With the right care—including proper diet, substrate, temperature, and humidity—this adult snake can live a long, healthy life of up to 30 to 40 years. Though already on the larger side, Sand Dollar still has room to grow and may reach up to 6 feet, though 5 feet is typical for their species. The rescue will let you know everything you need to get ready for their homecoming.
Sand Dollar’s story began in unfortunate circumstances, left abandoned in a tiny tank outside a pet store. Thankfully, the pet store transferred them to the rescue, where they’ve been waiting for someone to open their heart and home. Could that someone be you?
If you think we may be a good match, or you would like to get to know me better, please click the Adoption Application button below my bio on the rescue website, here is the link - https://www.smallbreedrescue.org/Home/AnimalDetails/6343
This gentle snake has been waiting so long for a second chance—could you be the one to give them the forever home they deserve?
PLEASE NOTE:
1- We can only accept applications from interested parties who are in or near San Diego County, California at this time.
2- We do not ship reptiles but we may be willing to work with you if you are willing to travel if you are still in Southern California.
3- #2 will depend on the animal that you are applying for and is at the discretion of the board of directors.

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.
