Meet Bottle Cap – Our Nighttime Explorer

Species: Ball Python (Python regius)

Not your average ball, Bottle Cap is a curious and clever Ball Python who was born on August 28, 2023. Like most of his kind, he’s a nocturnal little guy—which means while the rest of the house is winding down, his adventure is just getting started.

During the day, you’ll probably find him snoozing, curled up tightly beneath his water dish (yes, under it—his favorite hideout!). But when the lights go down, Bottle Cap wakes up and begins his slow, thoughtful exploration. One of his favorite spots? Stretched out along the front of his enclosure, watching the world go by with quiet curiosity.

When it’s time for a hands-on visit, Bottle Cap is a chill companion. He might start off curled into his classic Ball Python pose but give him a moment—and he’ll stretch out and settle in, ready to explore the world from the safety of your arms. Don’t be fooled by his calm vibe though—this little noodle is an escape artist! His last great adventure? Sneaking off to scale a spare rack between some shelves like a true snakey mountaineer.

Whether he’s cozied and curled or out on a nighttime mission, Bottle Cap reminds us that quiet explorers can be full of surprises. Keep your eyes open—he just might be planning his next great escape!
