Dean is a small male royal python, presumed male. He was believed to be found by someone while walking the dog. His history and previous care are unknown due to this, but he arrived with us in 2023.
Dean arrived dehydrated and with lots of stuck shed. With some initial baths and correct care, he is now in lovely condition. He is a great feeder, but has a slight wobble when striking food, so sometimes misses.
He is a little nervous when handling, but not defensive/aggressive. He has attended events with the public and is tolerant of being handled.
A very sweet boy🐍
