The day he was found, the shelter posted the following on its Facebook page:
“Happy tuesssssssday. Meet our little friend, Wolverine. This young python was found at our local Walmart chillin’ on a shelf. It’s unclear how he got there, but it was a good thing a Good Samaritan saw him and got him to safety at the shelter. He is officially off his stray hold and he’s in the market for a forever home! He would do best with an experienced snake owner. He’s a bit stressed and slightly spicy. He is growing used to the thought of being handled and will likely be able to relax more in a calmer environment.”
And between Tuesday and today, the shelter adopted him out after many potential adopters expressed interest in adopting him.
The shelter is not sure how the ball python ended up on a Walmart shelf. At any rate, he found a new home and will get a chance to live a long life.
