THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS PLEASE!

Jeremy is going in for surgery tomorrow morning. Our president, Michelle, made the trip to San Antonio today so he can have the very best chance at a successful surgery. He will be having an aneurysm operated on. Very few vets in the country are capable of doing such a surgery so we are very luck and grateful that he was able to get Jeremy in so quickly.

If you are feeling generous and would like to donate that would make a huge help as well!

Thank you all so much!

Buddy is playing peek a Boo.
Cleaning enclosures this evening, and Buddy had the perfect shed. No more eye caps.
Now that Buddy had eaten small frozen thawed rats every week, had had a successful shed removing all of the eye caps and his boo boo on his head is healing, Buddy is ready for his forever home.
Please don’t miss this opportunity to adopt a lovely and very gentle ball python.

What we know about Buddy:
Found outside on a very cold winter night.
Age Unknown
S*x: Undisclosed
Eating weekly: small frozen thawed rats.
Can move to medium sized rats and feed bi- monthly.
Morph: usually do not disclose, but we definitely have a pied.
For adoption information please contact Madison DuPont.
Due to Christmas, Madison maybe out of town. In that case, contact Aimee Zissa (foster) at 214-402-8198.
Enclosure size: 4x2x2 pvc enclosure.
Merry Christmas from Buddy 🎄🎄🎄🐍🐍🐍

Foster Update: Buddy
Ball python found outside in freezing temperatures.

Buddy has had a full shed. The wound on his head is almost gone.

We still have some stuck eye caps to work on .
This is one sweet ball python. Who ever adopts Buddy is going to have a buddy for life.

Foster Update: Mexican Black King Snake
Name: Toothless
This very active and curious MBK or Mexican Black King snake is very active, curious and very sweet. Toothless and I have been playing everyday. I let him choose to come out of his enclosure. I do not grab him. I am working on building trust with him.
Once he is out, together, we work on him focusing on his surroundings instead of me.
Keeping his brain engaged in a positive manner has helped him not want to nibble on my arm. Toothless wants to try to nibble, but I do not give him the opportunity.
Toothless has become more comfortable with handling and checking out his surroundings. He has not musked on me, yet. It is with slow intentional movements that he has learned that I am not a threat to him.
Hopefully in another week or two, he will be ready for his forever home.
I would recommend that be in a home that has experience with MBK snake or king snake species.
Enclosure needs to be 6x2x2 or 6x3x3.
These snakes are a burrowing species.

ENCLOSURE HAS SOLD!

NTRR family close to Plano, DFW or surrounding areas.

We were lucky enough to have a 8x4x4 enclosure donated to our rescue and would like to sell it for medical funds.

It is a Lifetime Habitats Enclosure, with sliding doors, lighting fixtures and has the burned wood.
It does not have wheels, but can easily be added to the bottom of the enclosure. I have extra wheels and will be included, just not installed.
This enclosure would be excellent for larger boa’s, Burmese Pythons, tegus, tortoises, Reticulated Pythons, and monitors.

If you are interested in helping out NTRR please contact Aimee Zissa for information on the enclosure.

This is a fantastic enclosure that is collapsible. It has 6 pieces, and 4 corner panels and takes about 30 minutes to put together with at least 2 people. It is very heavy. You will need a trailer or a U-Haul due to the size.

Comment below and I will respond to you with the cost of the enclosure.

Thank you.

🚨 RAFFLE ALERT! 🚨

DISCLAIMER: these are just meant to show inspiration photos for what you could do if you won a Dubia enclosure. These are the 36x18x18 (50 gallon) enclosure set up for Dragons/Ball Pythons, respectively by our San Antonio board member. 50 gallon enclosures should only be used for juvenille or medically significant dragons that need limited space. You will NOT get an enclosure that is set up if you win. But take notes as these are top tier set ups!

Who all is done shopping? And who hasn’t started yet? Do you enjoy wrapping presents? What’s your favorite thing about opening presents on Christmas morning?

Last weekends late night rescue mission. This Ball Python was found outside in cold wet dirt in less than 40 degree weather. It was slowly freezing to death. Luckily a board member raced over and the noodle friend went scales to skin to get warmed up before our former VP could get there to take them home!
