The story of Helios's Halfway House started with a tiny ball python named Helios. I thought I was afraid of snakes until 2019, when I got my first one, and his journey has inspired me. The thought of another reptile suffering the way he did breaks my heart, and I want to do the best I can to prevent more animals from neglect and abuse. I also want to try to prevent reptiles from being released into the wild, like the Burmese Pythons crisis in the Everglades. Please reach out to me if you need help rehoming your reptiles! Releasing into the wild is NOT a safe option, for the reptile or our ecosystem!
