Pastel ball python and amel corn snake

Portage IN

Description

I have two snakes that I want to rehome. I am just trying to downsize a bit. PASTEL BALL PYTHON: First one is a male pastel ball python. Had him since he was a hatchling in 2011. He has never been bred. No known hets. He has never been sick and is a healthy snake. He is a picky eater though and will go on hunger strikes, especially during the winter. I try FT small rat first when offering him a meal. He will take it if you leave it overnight and make sure it’s warmed up. However, he is hit or miss with that. If he rejects it consecutively for a couple of weeks then I’ll offer a live small rat. He will take the live rat on the spot most of the time, but sometimes I’ll have to stay there supervising for a bit until he decides to go after it. I don’t leave live unsupervised. Offering live will usually get him to eat. I don’t like feeding live and only offer when I need to. He will take the FT but is not always consistent. Asking for 50 dollar rehoming fee. AMEL CORN SNAKE: The second one is a female corn snake that I’ve had as a hatchling going back to 2009. She was my very first corn snake. She was bred once in 2014 and had 22 healthy eggs. Her hets are still unknown though. She has never been sick and doesn’t refuse meals. Can’t remember the last time she refused. She often just takes what the ball python refuses, which is why she is a little bit chunky. She’ll eat whatever you offer pretty much. She is lazy and likes to stay in her hide all the time. That’s another reason she is a bit chunky and I recently put in a tunnel system using pvc pipes to try and get her more active. She has been using them more lately. Rehoming fee is 50 dollars. I am in no hurry to rehome these animals. I’ve had them for a long time and just need more room for upcoming projects I want to do later on. My priority is not to quickly rehome them, but rather to ensure they are going to someone who knows how to take care of these animals or at least are committed to learn. Corn snakes are easier to care for, but ball pythons can be tricky so I don’t want him going to someone who won’t know how to deal with his picky eating or who refuse to feed live when you have too. If you want to convert him over to an all live diet then you might not have to worry about it, but I always try to keep him on FT.
