Meet Ivy – A Special Sweetheart Looking for an Experienced Home 🐍💚

Ivy is a gentle and affectionate 3-year-old ball python with a calm demeanor and a truly endearing personality. She’s a beautiful girl with unique needs, and she’s looking for a home that understands the care and commitment involved in keeping a snake like her.

Ivy has mild vision impairment, which means she may be a bit more cautious and require a calm, consistent routine-especially during feeding. Despite this, she’s curious, handleable, and truly thrives with patient, experienced care.

What Ivy Needs:

🐍 An adopter with prior ball python (or similar reptile) experience-this is essential due to her specialized needs.

🌡️ A proper enclosure with regulated heat and humidity, UVB (optional but encouraged), safe hides, and enrichment.

🐭 Comfort with feeding a snake who may require tongs and a little extra time to locate her food due to her vision.

🧼 Knowledge of reptile hygiene, shedding support, and enclosure maintenance.

Ivy is a great ambassador for her species and would do best with someone who appreciates her quirks and is ready to give her a stable, loving forever home.

Please note: We are only considering adopters who can demonstrate prior experience and have a proper setup (or a detailed plan to create one). Ivy deserves the best!

If you’re a responsible reptile enthusiast ready to give Ivy the safe and serene life she deserves, we’d love to hear from you!

***Although the BC SPCA opposes the keeping of exotic animals as pets because it is challenging, if not impossible, to provide them with everything they need to thrive, Ivy found her way into the care of the BC SPCA and is now looking for an experienced home that can commit to supporting her special needs.***
