Little One the Mojave Ball Python

🐍🤍 Meet Little One the Mojave Ball Python! 🤍🐍
 
Little One came to J&R Aquatic Animal Rescue on September 25, 2025, after her previous owner could no longer care for her due to financial reasons. This sweet 3-year-old female is about 2 feet long and currently eating frozen/thawed rats like a pro. 🐀❄️
 
Don’t let her name fool you—Little One has a big personality and the beautiful silvery-brown pattern typical of the Mojave morph. Calm, curious, and easy to handle, she’s a wonderful choice for both new and experienced snake keepers. 💕
