Talga the Ball Python

🐍💚 Meet Talga the Ball Python! 💚🐍
 
Talga came to J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue on 11/15/25 during the Exotic Pet Surrender Event in Hudson. Their previous owner—who had gotten Talga from a reptile auction—could not provide the level of care this snake needed. Talga is now safe, thriving, and ready for a more stable future.
Talga is about 6 years old and is currently eating small to medium frozen/thawed rats reliably. 🐀❄️
