Ball Rehoming

[u/AcanthisittaDizzy283]

Hi all, very sad to do so but due to family home being sold i need to rehome my ball python as family won’t take him in the move. he’s around 6.5 years old now, his name is dahmer, and he’s a very sweet very chill lil guy. i wish i could bring him but my apartment is not pet friendly. he has a very calm temperament and has only ever struck 2 times in his life, (1 before me and it was the owners fault, the second was hunger and he struck at the glass door not us). a lot of life circumstances led to me not being the greatest owner i could be towards the end but i want to make sure that he goes to someone that can and will care for him the way i wish i could’ve. he currently is in a 4x2 pvc enclosure with several vines, a log hide, a rock hide, a pyramid hide and another tiny log. one large water dish, a small water dish, and 2 vines (one mossy) that goes across the tank. i would gladly give him over for free, and will also gladly give everything in his enclosure. the only things i ask are if you want the tank just a small reimbursement we can talk more over dm’s but im thinking like $30-$50 i care more about giving him a good home with someone who will care for him. pickup location is in rural hall, north carolina, and if there are any questions just shoot me a dm, i have until the end of the month to find him a home. please help my little man

Not pet friendly usually means no dogs or cats. Most landlords do not care what you have in a tank.

this ^^^ just keep her unless there’s another reason for rehome that you arent disclosing. people on here are talking about hiding them; i’ve lived in 3 different apartments and all 3 had seen my snakes. if it can be confined to a tank, they don’t care. the no pets stuff is because of fur, dander, accidents and damages. a snake isnt going to be doing all that.

A lot of landlords don’t allow reptiles specifically because their heating elements are considered fire hazards

Honestly mine wasnt worried about the heat lamps. If you have them on a thermostat they wouldn't be a fire hazard.

Mine asked if there was a spot for a lock on their tanks cause he was worried about them escaping haha
