My story

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

Meet Boo, the ball python who's anything but spooky! 🐍❤️

Boo is lovingly called "Baby-Boo" for their sweet and calm nature. As a nocturnal creature, Boo spends most of the days resting in a cozy hide, but loves to come out for some evening social time, and occasionally in the mornings too.

While Boo's exact age is unknown, Boo is still considered a juvenile based on her size—currently measuring 2+ feet long and still growing. Fun fact: Boo prefers sphagnum moss to help with shedding, which makes them feel comfortable and healthy. Adult female ball pythons can reach 3 to 5 feet in length, while males tend to be a bit smaller, averaging 2 to 3 feet. This snake's gender is yet to be determined.

Boo’s future family will need to provide them with a secure habitat, an appropriate diet, substrate, temperature, and humidity levels to help Boo thrive. But don’t worry—the rescue organization will guide you every step of the way to ensure you're fully prepared to welcome Boo into your home.

Originally purchased from a pet store, Boo’s previous owner had to relocate and sadly couldn’t take them along. Fortunately, Boo found their way to a shelter and then to SBRSC. Now, Boo is ready for her forever home—could it be with you?

If you feel like Boo might be a perfect match for your family, click the Adoption Application button below the bio on the rescue website, here is the link - https://www.smallbreedrescue.org/Home/AnimalDetails/8362, to start the process. An adoption counselor will be in touch to answer any questions and guide you through the next steps.

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.

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.
