Regional Support Groups?

Question

TL;DR - I am seeking help with supplies and general support during an emergency foster situation, based out of SE Louisiana.

Hi All - I am a novice reptile owner (owned a rescue corn snake and have baby sat ball pythons on several occasions) and have agreed to help my coworker through a tough time by taking in her juvenile ball python while she’s experiencing housing instability.

This ball python is 3 feet long and is coming to me in a 40 gallon tank, which I understand is too small for her size. I’m also not confident that her heating and uv requirements are being met.

Is there a group local to me that can help with crowd sourcing the supplies needed to ensure she’s happy and healthy?? Unfortunately I’m in a financial hole right now and am only 1 month away from losing housing myself if I don’t keep finances super tight.

Thank you in advance 🖤
