Pebbles the Gravel Specter Ball Python

🐍🪶 Meet Pebbles the Gravel Specter Ball Python! 🪶🐍
 
Pebbles came to J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue on September 25, 2025, after her previous owner could no longer keep her due to financial challenges. At just 3 years old and about 2 feet long, this lovely female Gravel Specter Ball Python is thriving—healthy, alert, and eating frozen/thawed rats without hesitation. 🐀❄️
 
Her subtle shimmer and unique morph pattern make Pebbles a beautiful addition for any reptile enthusiast. With her calm personality and manageable size, she’s an ideal companion for someone ready to give her a forever home. 💛
