It is so wonderful watching snakes experience UVB for the first time!
Norman was kept in a rub with no enrichment for 8 years. He is now in a vivarium with UVB and climbing opportunities and it is amazing to see how he is interacting in his environment!

He absolutely loves basking under his UVB and we often find him here!
Although UVB is not necessary for royal pythons survival as it is with other reptile species such as tortoises or bearded dragons- it is incredibly beneficial to them! We give all of our snakes UVB here and they all utilize it ❤️

The market for Royal pythons is incredibly oversaturated and overwhelmed with individuals looking for homes- and there just aren't enough homes for them!

Out of all the reptile species, we have rescued royal pythons the most; and have rescued animals directly from breeders multiple times. Animals we have rescued from breeders are often in the worst condition.

Most breeders keep their royals in barren racking systems with no enrichment or lighting; leaving them cramped and in the dark for years. This can have devastating effects on the animals mental and physical wellbeing. They are often overweight due to the lack of space, and nervous/ defensive because the only form of enrichment they get is being fed.
These enclosures ( if you can even call them that) resemble solitary confinement prison cells; and we know what that does to a person. Yet we keep innocent animals in them for years.

These beautiful animals that can live 40+ years deserve enriching lives where they can fully spread out and explore. Not left in a rack their whole life.

Over breeding has led to horrific health conditions in these animals, which is just getting more and more common. From neurological issues to physical defects. These animals live lower quality lives and often have to be euthanized as they deteriorate. They are only bred for monetary gain and aesthetics. It his highly immortal and unethical.

More often than not, royal pythons are neglected- either on purpose or due to a lack of education and ignorance. They deserve better ❤️

Our job is to protect these animals, not exploit them for personal gain. If you are considering breeding royal pythons, please don't!

Please consider adopting from an ethical rescue rather than support breeding! Rescues have amazing animals who are desperate for loving forever homes ❤️
