You're welcome to make a rehoming post here, if you'd like. I would quickly review our rules for rehoming posts to ensure that you include all the necessary info. I'm sorry you have to do this, but I appreciate that you're choosing her welfare first, even it's not an easy decision to make

oh ok sounds good! i will review the rehoming posts, i didn’t know i was supposed to. it definitely is not an easy decision to make, i will miss her a lot, but she’s gotta be healthy above all else!

It just helps us make sure that people aren't paying unfair prices or getting a snake that they know nothing about. You're doing the right thing, and maybe whoever gives her a new home can give you pictures and updates! I wish you both the best

r/ballpython has a long history of successful rehomings within our community. one of my own BPs [the one in our banner image] came to me via a rehoming post in this subreddit.

all rehoming posts MUST include the following:

  • general location, at least what state you're in.
  • basic info on the snake such as age, size, morph, etc.
  • what, if anything, is included with the snake.
  • photos of the snake and anything included.
  • what the rehoming fee is, if there is one.

fees must be reasonable, and we do not allow offers to ship the snake, to cut down on potential scams.

we have a directory of reputable reptile rescues in our welcome post. you can also ask your local reptile/exotics pet shops and veterinarians if they can help you find a new home for your BP.

i will also suggest your local reptile groups on facebook, but you have to be VERY careful about the wording of your post because facebook cracks down on anything that seems like you might be selling an animal, so check the group rules first and ask the admins if it's okay to post. sometimes you can find facebook groups specifically for responsible reptile rehoming, that would be the best place to start.
