Bowie the Fancy Ball Python

🐍⭐ Meet Bowie the Fancy Ball Python! ⭐🐍
 
Bowie came to J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue on September 13, 2025, after their previous owner—who had gotten them from a friend—could no longer provide care. At about 3.5 feet long, this beautiful Fancy Ball Python is healthy, curious, and currently eating prekilled medium frozen/thawed rats with no hesitation. 🐀❄️
 
Like their namesake, Bowie has stunning patterns and a calm personality that’s sure to shine bright in the right home. ✨
