Two years ago we rescued a ball python covered in ticks. We had no idea she would go viral with over 50 million views world wide. This is Ticktock's 2 year update!
Thank you for the update and for keeping it real, and for emphasizing the importance of NOT dumping animals. The trauma and animals endure when they are abandoned can't be stated enough. You're both awesome!
I think her story blew up because there are so few snake rescue stories out there. Breeders may think normal ball pythons are worthless, but for most of us pet keepers, they're our first snake. I have two normies and I wouldn't trade them for the fanciest scaleless ball python. Ticktok was just so sweet from the very beginning, too. It's bad to see a dumped pet, but it's wonderful to see a happy outcome to a dumped pet's story.
This right here. Anyone that has dealt with ball pythons forms a soft spot for them. I’ve never owned one but worked with them 7+ years and had roommates that kept them. I’ve shown them to people with intense fear of snakes and it helped ease it, even just a little, seeing that it wasn’t 1) slimy (where do folks get that?) or 2) actively trying to harm them.
I’m so so happy to see her updated video. She looks fabulous, extremely healthy and well looked after. You can see she’s a happy girl and I’m so glad you guys decided to keep her. Thank you for all the work you do!
Awww! Thanks or the update. When we happened upon the TickTock rescue videos 2 years ago, I was terrified of snakes: believing they were lurking around every corner waiting to strike. After watching all the TickTock vids, I found Snake Discovery and watched all of theirs. I now LOVE snakes, have spent HOURS AND HOURS watching reptiles videos, have been to multiple reptile expos, and own 5 snakes, one of which is a normal ball python. This has really opened the door to something I needed in my life (I am 45 years old) that I never would have found on my own. Thank you!
Awww that's sweet. I have always liked snakes. They were the first wild animal I could pick up without getting bit. Lol 😂 Even though I did end up being bit by a few but it didn't hurt. I didn't own a pet snake because I thought they all had to eat live mice and I wasn't okay with that. Snake Discovery helped me to learn about frozen thawed and most importantly how freaking cute hognose snakes are. Lol 😂 Now I have 10 snakies! 7 of them hognose!
I had no idea snakes could get ticks. I’m not a snake person, and still won’t be after the vid, but this poor creature didn’t deserve to be dumped. I’m so glad y’all got the call about her and we’re able to save and rehab her.
She's gorgeous!! I've ALWAYS loved Ball Pythons!! I even owned 2 at one point. They're so nicely tempered. Pretty easy to handle and feed. You barely have to try with a Ball, as long as you have all the requirements they need (heat source, water, food {of course},an unheated area, etc etc). They're a delight. And they're not that expensive. Good, easy snake for the beginner herp enthusiast. Like me! ☺️
Thanks for the update. I’m not a snake person, but I believe in their need to exist. I’m glad you were able to rescue her and use her as an ambassador animal.
Rescued my normal ball python over a year ago so I love Tiktoks story! My girl Peanut was found abandoned in a hotel room by the housekeeping staff. A family member who worked at the hotel reached out to me to take her in and she has been with me ever since! She's still pretty fiesty/defensive but I assume that's due to the neglect by her previous owners!
I can never understand minimizing the value of a life simply due to a "common" look. Also thank you for a healthy dose of reality, wild animals will always have their survival as top priority, forget the touchy feely stuff.
My brother had a Ball Python named Spot. It was a beautiful snake I was a little cautious about meeting for the first time, but in a very short time, I fell in love with it. My brother would let it crawl around on his screened in front porch, and the snake would crawl up your leg to check you out. Mostly it loved to crawl up to the window sill and sleep. I was really surprised at how quilckly I took to it. It was very mild mannered and never showed any aggression.
I have a normal ball python rescue that was found in a local park 5 years ago. Was a yearling and dehydrated and starved. Dumped or escaped pet. To this day she hasn't turned down a single meal and is doing so well.
To think I started watching you both around the same time. I'm glad she's doing great!! Thank you so much for another update. Happy anniversary Tick Tok!! 🎉
I'm glad she got love, "normal" type ball pythons are still really beautiful. My first ball python is a "Spark" morph, but honestly she looks close to a normal, and I love her. She was a craigslist rehome. I didn't know of any animal shelters nearby with snakes at the time, and that was the closest I could do to a rescue.
Great update guys! She looks wonderful and absolutely has an awesome forever home now! Thank you for all of the rescues you do and all of the love you give these animals. You are such an amazing couple and you do so much good!!! Have a great day. 😄💙🐬🐍🐊
I didn't know y'all were that new with your channel, but since I watched the original rescue, I've been with you almost the whole time. I've always been impressed with your knowledge, your compassion, and your ability to pass this on to us. I was fostering a boa for a friend and your channel was one of the first I found to learn from. Alas, he's back with his owner and now I'm rethinking do I want one of my own? Heck yeah! Thank you for making this channel. It's highly beneficial. 😊❤️
She looks like a totally different snake! So glad you helped her and I'm grateful you're honest about some of the mindsets in the reptile community. A lot of people seem afraid to say anything so I appreciate the realness!
She is a sweet, calm snake. Very nice of you to help her and remove those awful ticks. It is very sad that people are so cruel and dump their pets. Curse them!
Tick Tock the Python..... 2 years. 2 long years. You've come along way. Thanks for the lovely update. And look how much she's grown. She is really Number 1!!
Ball pythons are like the most common pet in America after cats and dogs. Like of course she is loved!! They are the sweetest snakes, known for loving to sit in your pocket when they're small. They are just the best.
Please dont spread misinformation. Dont put animals in your pockets, and no they are absolutely not known "loving" that. If you wanna say they are known for being docile, tolerant, and mild tempered thats fine.
What a wonderful update!! I fell in love with her the moment she appeared on screen. I am so thankful for you and the love you show to animals. You really touch my heart ♥
Thank you for everything you do for all the animals you save and Ticktok! So happy to see she is doing so much better. Her scales are shining and she has filled out nicely - she looks so healthy! It's great that her stuck eye caps shed off with no issues. It's nice to hear more details about her story and I'm so glad she was lucky enough to have you pick her up. Given how big her story became, I wonder if the person who abandoned her ever saw what happened to her. Thank you also for spreading awareness about not abandoning animals, allowing Ticktok to show people what sweet and docile animals ball pythons are, and making it clear that even if you save an undomesticated animal, it can still harm you. Appreciate your work and keep doing what you do!
Wow I remember when you first brought her in, Glad to see she is doing well, you two do amazing work… Thank You for the education and caring for the beautiful creatures
Thank you tick toc for starting me down an amazing road where you helped me to get over my fear of snakes. Since then, I have fell in love with not just you, but all the various types of snakes 💙🐍, even cobras
Wow time flies….. that was the first video of yours that I watched. I have since watched all videos since and before then. You guys are so sweet. Sending hugs xxxxx😊😊😊
aww y for the update on your bp tik tok. I'm so glad u rescued her n gave her a great home. I love her ..thank goodness you found her!I want a BP soo bad...great update !she's gorgeous !
I remember watching you guys picking the ticks off her. She was in such bad shape. I can't believe that was 2 years ago already, but what a difference now. So glad she's now living the good life. Well done guys 👍
I can’t stand it when people dump animals of any kind. I’m right there with you Gabby. I know Chris takes the high road a lot of the time, he is a better person than me lol. but I just can’t. Mistreatment of animals in any way triggers me hard. I am thankful that there are wonderful people like you two out there saving as many animals as you can. ❤❤
She looks great and is living her best life! She is the reason I keep a large, shallow dish full of water under a tree in my backyard, so any snakes passing through can get a drink if they need one. I remember how dehydrated she was and how much she drank when you rescued her. Thanks for all you do!💚 (Also, would it even be a Florida's Wildest video if Sinder didn't make a cameo appearance?😂)
Yall are such wonderful people. I just saw your original video about her and showed it to my 6 year old who has a heart of gold for the not so typically loved animals, insects etc. He was so happy to see that she's doing well.
This video was my introduction to reptile videos on RUclips. I was indifferent towards snakes prior to this. I’m not entirely sure if I’ll ever get a snake but if I do it will be a “plain” ball python. If I do get a snake, it will only be if I know for sure I am educated and have the time and resources. Thank you for all the work you do.
awesome update one of my favorite stories and glad she looks so healthy! we are snake people and hated to hear that she was dumped but glad you two were there to help! keep it up!
I'm so glad you updated! We love TickTok😍Thank you so much for giving her a better life for a snake. You can tell how much healthier she is and we love to see it.
I Love tick tock and im glad yall rescued her. Im a big advocate for normal ball pythons in our community cause i hate that the reptile hobby look down on them so much
Happy 2-year rescue-versary, TickTok! She’s so much bigger now; she looks great! Also, Gabby-I really like the necklace you’re wearing in this video! Very pretty!
I think ball pythons are beautiful even though they are common. But I am an animal lover whether they have scales or fur. It don't matter to me. I am so glad to see that she has healed up and is living her best life now Thanks to you too.
Awe she looks great, also appears to be Het Pied and maybe something else rather than full normal...not that you intend to breed or anything lol. Just thought youd like to know she carries recessive genes. Shes lovely. Ty for the update. Never ceases to be heartbreaking how people can just dump an animal like that

@@irishcajun85 So true I don't think one of these beauties would bite someone unless seriously aggrevated
I’m so so happy to see her updated video. She looks fabulous, extremely healthy and well looked after. You can see she’s a happy girl and I’m so glad you guys decided to keep her. Thank you for all the work you do!
One the most smallest and most docile of the Python family, A lovely animal and deserves more love and attention just for that.

Same! I relate to everything you felt and experienced. I am now a proud owner of a 5 month ball python! 😊 It’s been awesome

@@Upper_echelon_exotics we have 1 hognose!!!!
As a ball python mom of 4 Tick tock has stolen my heart. She is "thicker than a snicker" she is so beautiful.
I had no idea snakes could get ticks. I’m not a snake person, and still won’t be after the vid, but this poor creature didn’t deserve to be dumped. I’m so glad y’all got the call about her and we’re able to save and rehab her.
Learn something new everyday..Never even thought about ticks on a snake…
Yeah, right? I thought ticks were a mammal thing!
She's gorgeous!! I've ALWAYS loved Ball Pythons!! I even owned 2 at one point. They're so nicely tempered. Pretty easy to handle and feed.

Wow, 2 years already! She is how I found you guys 2 years ago! Thank you for all that you do for the animals ❤️
Wonderful to see how well this gorgeous 🐍 is doing. Great job guys ❤️
Thank you! 😊
So happy to see she's regained her health. She's beautiful! Wild-Type Ball Pythons are gorgeous.
She is gorgeous. Thank you for rescuing her and for keeping it real.
She is gorgeous for sure. I have had a ball python for almost 20 years, great pets, easy-going.

She looks fantastic! I'm glad she got found before it was too late. God bless y'all!
Her scales look shiny! You did a good job not just rescuing hwr but going as far as adopting her!
Dang just binge all these updates. She was so shy at first and seeing her come out her shell each video was cute.
Im so excited to see Tick Tok and how well she has recovered! Thank yall so much for taking good care of her
Ticktock is lucky to have such amazing people taking care of her. Great job you guys!
Normals are beautiful too and deserve a great life! Bless you all for taking her in and giving her a great life!
She's one SOLID lady!!!!! :)
She looks so beautiful and healthy. Sweet snek ❤️🐍
Don’t let the rack fool you 🥺

What a great thing you guys do for these animals! Thank you so very, very much!!
Thanks for watching!
She is a sweet, calm snake. Very nice of you to help her and remove those awful ticks. It is very sad that people are so cruel and dump their pets. Curse them!
I fell in love with her not a snake person but she deserves the best life thanks for taking her in.
She's such a sweet creature. Such a great name!
Tick Tock the Python..... 2 years. 2 long years. You've come along way. Thanks for the lovely update. And look how much she's grown. She is really Number 1!!
She’s just so sweet. I think she really engages with the camera. She’s beautiful too.
It was Tick Toc that brought me to your channel! So amazing its been 2 years!
So cool!
Jeez, where has the time gone? You’re such a great couple and do so much good for the world. God bless.❤

She looks like she may have Calico in her. I love her…she’s beautiful!!
Great video! I was hoping you would do an update on her and I'm glad you did. Keep up the good work. 👍🙂
you both did a wonderful job on this ball python, it looks very healthy and happy to me indeed!!!! very nice pet.!!!
So glad she had a happy ending ❤ For what it’s worth, she appears to be a carrier of the recessive “Piebald” gene.
I cannot believe its been 2 years already thats wild! Thanks for all the work you guys do, you're amazing!
Y'all are the cutest couple I watch on RUclips. Love what you do for animals. Keep it up.❤️
She looks so great. She seems so content. Good job glad you to rescued her.

So happy tick toc is doing so well. She is a beautiful snake.
Gotta love Ticktock's story. It was meant for u all to find her cause u would take excellent care of her.
Just watched the Dodo. Came hunting for info. So happy she survived, wasn't sure as it didn't show her eat anything. I'm so happy they kept her.
Glad she has a great temperament. Glad she also has gotten healthier
She is a beauty..great job
Thanks for sharing this story! She is beautiful 😍
Thanks for watching!
