My story

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

Meet Twix – A Sweet and Gentle Ball Python Seeking a Forever Home

Twix is a calm and easy-to-handle ball python with a gentle nature and a healthy appetite. This inquisitive python enjoys being held and exploring new surroundings, making them an engaging companion. Being nocturnal, Twix spends most of the day resting in their hide but becomes active and social in the evening and, occasionally, stays awake for a bit in the morning too!

Though Twix’s age is unknown, their size suggests they’re an adult. Female ball pythons generally grow to be around 3 to 5 feet in length, while males average 2 to 3 feet. When fully grown, Twix could weigh between 3 and 5 pounds. With the proper care, ball pythons like Twix can live long, healthy lives—up to 30 or even 40 years—making them a lifetime friend for the right person.

To ensure Twix’s continued health and happiness, they’ll need a secure habitat that maintains the right diet, substrate, temperature, and humidity. Rest assured, the rescue will provide all the guidance and resources needed to set up the ideal environment for Twix’s new home.

Twix was initially brought to a shelter, who recognized they would thrive under the care of SBRSC while they awaited their forever 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.
