🐍 This cool character was abandoned in a tank outside the shelter, but he hasn’t let that get him down. Calm, curious, and surprisingly charming, Pickle Rick even helped a few of our staff get over their fear of snakes! During his check-in, he was a total pro—getting weighed and showing off his tiny, healthy teefies during a quick dental look. We’re still figuring out if he’s a fella or a little lady, but either way, he’s a young and healthy noodle ready for a fresh start. Perfect for someone experienced with reptiles or eager to learn, Pickle Rick loves exploring his enclosure, soaking up the heat, and hanging out with patient humans. He might just slither right into your heart. 🏡❤️ Visit humanerescuealliance.org/adopt to learn more and make an appointment today! (fb)
