FROM A FACEBOOK PAGE IN WAKE FOREST- Anyone missing a snake off Ligon Mill Rd?

Found this guy in my mom’s backyard when the AC unit repairman came. It does not look wild.

UPDATE: I already had someone (a snake lover) come and pick him up. I can give their contact information if we find the potential owner. Please private message me if you are or if you know the owner to exchange information.

Happy Friday Eve! Fun fact about dwarf Caiman’s since we keep getting them in:
This is the smallest species of crocodilian in the world with males growing up to ~5ft and females growing to ~4ft and weighing in under 20 lbs.
A single adult should be given a minimum land space of 8ft by 10ft. More land space than water is ideal as they are moderately terrestrial!

We ended up finding some REALLY cool stuff that we will be sharing with you all soon so keep an eye out!

Did you know…
While most know Burmese Pythons as a highly invasive species of snake in the Everglades, in their native ranges of Southeast Asia they are actually considered vulnerable? They are on the lowest end of the threatened species spectrum. As with any species, make sure you do your homework before deciding whether or not you would like to add a Burmese Python to your collection!
