Hi, I'm Salem. I'm a pied ball python, which means my pattern is one of a kind. Pied pythons come in big, splashy patches of white and color, no two ever the same, so there's only one snake in the world that looks exactly like me.
I'm about as chill as a snake gets. I love being held, I love warm laps, and if something startles me, my big move is to curl into a little ball and wait for the world to calm back down. That's it. That's my whole defense system.
Most kids think I'll be slippery or scary, and then they actually hold me and realize I'm just smooth, calm, and surprisingly snuggly.

Favorite Hobby: Curling up in the warmest spot I can find
Snack of Choice: I'll let the grown-ups keep that one private, but let's just say I don't need a fork
Special Move: The Slow Squeeze, my version of a hug, gentle and warm, never tight
