Acton Up Critters

Acton Up Critters We’re new ball python breeders on a mission to show that snakes are awesome—not scary! Follow us for cute scales, fun facts, and reptile love!

We love teaching others about reptiles and how to care for them, and one day we hope to start rescuing them too.

Meet Catelyn Stark, my very first Western Hognose 🐍❄️
She is a Conda het Snow and absolutely a hognose through and through. Catelyn came in hot with all the classic hognose attitude—spicy, dramatic, and full of hisses—but she settles down quickly once she realizes she’s safe.
She’s still a tiny baby, which somehow makes her sass even more adorable. From the bluff strikes to the little attitude, she already has so much personality packed into such a small snake. I’m so excited to watch her grow and see what the future holds for her!

Meet Samwise—our gorgeous female Pastel Enchi Axanthic VPI! When I first got into snakes, the Axanthic VPI look immediately stole my heart. There’s just something magical about those crisp black-and-white patterns, and Samwise embodies everything I love about the morph.

I got incredibly lucky with her—her breeder had to relocate somewhere she couldn’t keep her snakes, and I was offered an amazing deal. Samwise has been a dream ever since! She’s unbelievably chill, beautifully contrasted, and full of potential. I can’t wait to watch her colors develop over time and see the stunning babies she produces in the future!

Meet Sauron 👁️🐍
Sauron is our beautiful Pastel Pied ball python — and yes, she earned that name! One of her markings looks just like the Eye of Sauron from The Lord of the Rings. If you’ve noticed a theme with our names, you’re absolutely right 😉
Originally, we thought Sauron was a boy, but an emergency trip to the vet revealed otherwise! She was actually the very first snake to join our collection and has been charming us ever since. Sauron is incredibly friendly and loves to watch people pass by her tank, always curious and calm.
And if there’s one thing she’s famous for... it’s her appetite! This girl is always ready for mealtime and never misses a chance to show just how much she loves her food.

Meet Galadriel (or Gal, for short)!
Gal is our beautiful Lesser het Clown girl — and believe it or not, I actually won her by accident in an auction! She turned out to be one of the best “mistakes” I’ve ever made. 💛 She’s curious, calm, and full of personality. Aside from giving me one small heart attack when she decided to wrap herself around a chair leg a little too tightly, she’s been an absolute dream to have in the collection. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for this lovely lady! 🐍✨

✨ Meet Ghost! ✨
She’s our very first rescue — a gorgeous Hypo, possibly Enchi, ball python who came to us after her previous home could no longer care for her. Sadly, she was at risk of being released outside, so we stepped in to give her a safe, loving home. 💛
Ghost is a bit timid, but we’re taking things slow and helping her learn that people can be safe and kind. She’s absolutely stunning, and we’re so happy she’s part of the Acton Up Critters family! 🐍🤍

✨ Meet Gwen Stefani ✨
Our gorgeous female Banana Enchi Asphalt Calico! When we first brought her home, she was a little skinny and had some major attitude — but wow, what a glow-up she’s had! Now she’s one of the sweetest and most curious of the crew. Gwen loves to explore and hang out, always showing off her stunning colors and freckles while keeping her cool. She’s truly a star in the making! 🌟

Meet Gandolf, my Asphalt Yellow Belly boy! 🐍 He’s one of my absolute favorites (though it’s hard to pick when they’re all so cute). Gandolf has the sweetest little face and the calmest personality—you’d never catch him showing any sign of aggression. He’s so gentle that he won’t even strike at his meals, so I have to drop-feed him. Such a kind soul in a scaly package! 💛✨

Meet Legolas!
Our banana pied boy and definitely the spiciest noodle in the collection! 🌶️🐍 He’s the only one who’s ever given me a love bite (he gave me plenty of warning, I was just dumb enough to ignore it😅). Despite his fiery personality, he’s getting more curious as he starts to mellow out—and honestly, he’s just too adorable to stay mad at! 💛🩵

✨ Meet Gimli! ✨
Our handsome Pastel GHI double het Hypo Pied boy. When he first joined us, he was full of sass and attitude, but over time he’s traded that for curiosity and charm. Now he loves to explore and watch what’s going on around him. He’s growing like a w**d and getting more beautiful with every shed! 💛
He can still be a little picky, but that’s just part of his quirky personality. We can’t wait to see how he develops and what exciting projects he’ll be part of in the future! 🐍
