Amani

Amani is a 7 year old with Spider genetics who has mild neurological symptoms, especially when eating. She is not a fearful snake and enjoys climbing and exploring - she loves observing the world from her sky hide. She was poorly socialized so we are gradually habituating her to people. The neglect she suffered may have damaged her immune system, as she has struggled with recent respiratory infections - so far she is responding well to treatment. As of 5/2026 she is not yet adoptable and will be closely monitored. 

Blaze

Blaze is a beautiful 3 year old who arrived thin and dehydrated. He is not defensive but he is very fearful around people and hides in a ball until he's back in his enclosure. While he does not have the genetics associated with neurological issues, he has shown some neurological symptoms. He experienced a serious episode after being fed, which may have been due to anti-parasitic medication and/or extreme stress and fear. As of 5/2026 Blaze will stay at the sanctuary until he is less fearful, has improved body condition, and we determine whether his neurological episode was transient or due to a more serious condition. 

Citrine

Citrine is just 2 years old. She is small for her age and pretty fearful - as of 5/2026 she still hides much of the time, and sometimes strikes out of fear. She is healthy overall and is very food-motivated. Her body condition has really improved but she cannot be adopted until she shows less distress and anxiety. Her rehabilitation is focused on fear-free engagement and interaction.  

Caprica

Caprica is a 4 year old female. Caprica arrived at the sanctuary somewhat thin and very fearful but otherwise healthy overall. As of 5/2026 she will remain at the sanctuary until she gains some weight and muscle and is less fearful. Her body condition has improved, she has a great appetite, really enjoys enrichment, and uses everything in her enclosure. We hope it won't be long until she is available for adoption to a family who will love her and be patient with her shy nature.

Diesel

Diesel is a male whose hatch date was probably in 2020. His Spider genetics cause moderately severe wobble, especially at feeding time. On arrival he was malnourished to the point of muscle atrophy (loss of muscle tissue due to starvation). His immune system may have been damaged due to the neglect, and he has recently struggled (Feb/March 2026) with a respiratory infection which has responded well to treatment. He is somewhat less fearful now and more willing to explore. This poor boy needs long-term recovery at the sanctuary. 

Goldfinger

Goldfinger was hatched in 2019 and is handsome, curious and confident. Those who know him say he is "a great snake with a good temperament" who enjoys exploring and is calm when handled. He was very thin on arrival and so far has not regained weight and muscle mass as quickly as the other rescued snakes. He is a wonderful guy with real pet potential but is not on the adoptable list yet because the care team feels that something is just not quite right with him physically. As of 5/2026 our veterinarian estimates that Goldfinger may need another year to recover. 

Jack

The darkly handsome Jack is 3 years old and arrived at the sanctuary in rough shape. His body condition was rated 1-2, so he was dangerously thin. Jack was so dehydrated that he suffered impaction with huge urate plugs, and he had retained eyecaps. Jack also had scale rot that had gone untreated. Behaviorally, Jack is a bit fearful but is willing to explore and he has a great appetite - as of 5/2026 he's doubled his body weight from intake and his body condition score is a high 3, but he still needs to remain at the sanctuary for more recovery time.

Legolas

Legolas is a confident 6 year old who really seems to enjoy exploring, but doesn't care for people - he is not defensive but just prefers minimal contact He arrived with the lowest possible body condition score (1), indicating extreme emaciation, and was weak and very dehydrated. He has since almost doubled his weight and has regained some muscle tone. Legolas also had severe diarrhea with no cause identified by testing, but this has resolved. As of 5/2026 Legolas will be staying at the sanctuary while we continue to restore his body condition, make certain his digestive system is OK, and use gentle habituation to help him learn that not all humans are abusive. 

Mara-Jade

Mara Jade is an 8 year old who arrived with a good body condition score, so she had at least been getting some regular meals. But she was extremely scared, was lethargic and shut down, and showed other signs of chronic neglect such as multiple layers of stubborn stuck shed, retained eyecaps, and very poor muscle condition, indicating that she had been left just sitting in a rack for extended periods of time. Her muscle condition has improved, but this girl is extremely timid. As of 5/2026 she will remain at the sanctuary for behavioral work to become less fearful, and will continue getting exercise and enrichment. 

Mina-Rau

Mina Rau is a beautiful 7 year old who still (as of May 2026) has a long recovery ahead. At arrival she was thin and fearful and had stuck shed. More serious issues soon became apparent, possibly related to her reported history of being egg-bound with resulting nerve damage around the cloaca. Radiographs revealed severe and longstanding fecal impaction and the presence of kidney stones, a very painful condition probably related to dehydration. She has improved but still struggles with normal elimination. Given her significant medical issues, Mina Rau will be a long-term or permanent sanctuary resident. 

Moiraine

Moiraine is a 6 year old who needed intensive care on arrival at the sanctuary. At intake, she was emaciated, dehydrated, had extremely poor muscle condition, and was terrified. She has been eating and shedding normally and gaining weight, and more recently she has been active, has regained some muscle condition, and her natural curiosity is beginning to shine through! Because of her fragile condition, Moiraine still needs to remain at the sanctuary (as of 5/2026) but the team is hopeful she can fully recover and eventually find a loving forever home.

Mr. Tumnus

Mr. Tumnus is 3 years old and has the genes for wobble. So far wobble symptoms are very minimal but his overall movements sometimes seem slightly 'off'. On arrival at the sanctuary he had a large volume of severely impacted urates and feces requiring veterinary assistance for removal but has been eliminating normally. He needs assistance when shedding, so the question is whether his difficulties with normal functions are due to neglect or neurological issues. As of 5/2026 he will remain at the sanctuary till we can determine if he can be adopted as a special needs snake.

Nomi Sunrider

Nomi Sunrider is 7 years old and her body condition is good. Her behavior indicates that she was either very under-socialized or has had negative experiences with humans (or both). She is easily startled and often goes into full bite/strike mode around people. Nomi Sunrider is receiving gentle, patient behavioral and habituation work at the sanctuary (as of 5/2026) and it is unclear whether she will ever be a candidate for adoption. 

Pfielyx

Pfielyx is a four year old who is very undersized for his age, and still needs to gain more weight to achieve a healthy body condition (as of 5/2026). He is shy, hides a lot, and would rather not interact with people. He's jumpy but will return to normal and tongue flick after calming down. He will stay at the sanctuary until he gains more weight and muscle condition and feels safe enough to interact with his world.

Phinneas

The handsome Phinneas is just 3 years old. His body condition is good but as of 5/2026 he is still fearful, stays in his hide, and has shown little interest in exploring. Physically he is doing pretty well - he has nearly doubled his weight since arriving and his muscle tone has improved. But he needs to stay at the sanctuary for continued gentle socialization so that hopefully he will feel comfortable enough experience more of the world. 

Puck

Puck is 7 years old and is a resilient and outgoing soul who shows very little fear, but he's had lots of physical issues to address. He arrived with very poor body condition, stuck shed, diarrhea, and a pretty serious case of mouth rot. The mouth rot has been successfully treated and his digestive issues have resolved, but as of 5/2026 he still needs recovery time to fully heal and put some weight on. He is outgoing, curious, and active and we are hopeful that he will soon be on the adoption list.

Ripley

Ripley is 4 years old and like her namesake is a resilient fighter. When Ripley arrived at the sanctuary, the rescue team thought she was dead on arrival. She had a body condition score of 1, was severely emaciated and dehydrated, and wasn't moving. But little Ripley showed us that she is a survivor, and rallied to achieve huge steps in recovery. However, the neglect she suffered was so extreme that her immune system may be damaged, and she is now (throughout 2026) struggling with multiple physical problems as a result. She is sweet and outgoing in spite of all this, and has touched our hearts, but we are honestly very worried about her. She is likely a permanent sanctuary resident.

Syndulla

3 year old Syndulla was produced by the hoarder, so spent her life in a rack experiencing a life of neglect. She was lean but not emaciated at arrival. She spends a lot of time hiding, doesn't see much worth in humans, and fully embraces her identity as a predator. She doesn't explore, but does emerge from her hide every night to sit in ambush position. She's bold and confident with target training and is a fast and voracious eater. Syndulla is Ripley's clutchmate and may also have suffered immune system damage due to long-term neglect. As of April/May 2026 she is being treated for a respiratory infection and seems to be recovering. She'll remain at the sanctuary to continue stabilizing her health and working on socialization. 

Tiffany

Tiffany is 4 years old and arrived with very poor body condition. She was extremely emaciated, and had stuck shed and retained eyecaps. On arrival, Tiffany was very fearful and stayed constantly in her hide. She was also very listless, probably due to a combination of physical issues as well as 'learned helplessness' in response to the neglect and abusive conditions that she could not escape. She has greatly improved as of 5/2026, has a good appetite, and enjoys her sky hide and wreaking havoc in her water bowl. She still requires a long recovery time before she can be released to a family of her own.

Satine

Hi, my name is Satine.  I am four years old and while I was severely underfed at arrival, I have gained almost 300 grams and am now at a healthy weight for my size. At first I was skittish and shy, but I am feeling more secure and like to explore my enclosure at night. I am currently recovering from illness as my immune system was severely compromised before I came to Spirit Keeper. I am working toward getting back to good health.

Xander

Xander is 5 years old and while he was underweight but not critically emaciated at arrival, his level of fear has been profound. He stays balled up tightly and attempts to flee if he has any contact with humans. He does not have the genes that cause wobble, but has been showing odd, twitchy head movements that may be neurologically based or may be because of his extreme fear. We need to understand what is causing the head movement, and Xander is going to need a lot of time and gentle, patient habituation at the sanctuary in order to reduce his fearfulness.

Vel

Vel is 6 years old and at intake the volunteer recording data simply described her as "a mess". If a body condition score could be less than 1, that would be Vel - she was so emaciated that she was literally just scales and bones; her survival was very questionable. She was severely dehydrated, had diarrhea, a case of mouth rot that had been left untreated, and was so close to death that she was showing neurological symptoms. Against all odds, she is recovering and her natural beauty is shining through. All of this remains true as of 5/2026 - Vel is doing really well in every way, but is definitely a long-term or permanent sanctuary resident.

Ventress

Ventress is named for an infamous Sith assassin, and there's good reason for that. She arrived with poor body condition and weak muscle tone but has been eating well and slowly regaining strength and fitness. She is poorly socialized - in her previous life she either had minimal contact with people, or her interactions with people left a very bad impression. Ventress is highly food motivated  - if she thinks food may be near, her philosophy is to strike first and ask questions later. As of 5/2026, Ventress is doing very well with no health issues, but she operates from the dark side and will not be adoptable unless you have a death wish.

Wren

Wren is a 4 year old girl who arrived at the sanctuary with horrible stuck shed and retained eye caps. Unfortunately, Wren is terrified of humans and exhibits heartbreaking signs of extreme fear with handling. After removing some stuck shed from her face, she seemed to relax a bit, but remained very fearful. As of 5/2026 her health is good, but she is still very skittish, scared and hissy around people but she seems to enjoy exploring and trashing her enclosure. Wren will need very gradual, patient habituation to see if she can recover enough to ever come out of her shell and experience the world.
