A rescued royal python in Sussex is looking for a forever home.

Noodles, who is approximately eight years old and was found in poor condition, was rescued by Sussex Reptile Rescue Centre.

The care team at the centre have helped Noodles to make a remarkable recovery.

Benjamin Checkley, operations manager at the rescue centre, said: "She is a gentle soul and an excellent ambassador for her species.

"Royal pythons like Noodles are often misunderstood, but with the right home and responsible care, they make fascinating and rewarding companions."

Royal pythons, also known as ball pythons, are popular pets because of their manageable size and usually calm nature.

They do, however, need specific environmental conditions, including proper heating, humidity, and enrichment.

The rescue centre is looking for a suitable owner who is either experienced in reptile care or committed to learning.

All potential adopters will be assessed to ensure they can meet Noodles' needs.

Noodles is described as calm, shy, and inquisitive, with more information available at thesussexrrc.org.uk.

She has some special requirements, including a secure enclosure, controlled temperature and humidity, and a diet of frozen or thawed rodents.

If you are interested in adopting Noodles or would like to support the rescue centre's work, please contact 07375 893640 or email info@thesussexrrc.org.uk.

The centre is hoping to find Noodles a future full of care, safety, and love.
