Honey needs a home...

UPDATE: Honey was adopted!
-------------------------

LONG TERM RESIDENT ALERT! 🐾

We are so shocked that our big, sweet, girl Honey has not been adopted yet! This lovely dragon is not currently housed at the Victoria shelter, but is in a loving and experienced foster home receiving the care and attention she deserves. Honey’s new home will need to have just as high standards of care to be approved for adoption.

Care Requirements:
– A spacious enclosure with a hot basking area and a cool zone for temperature regulation.
– a variety of proper substrates and tank décor
– Proper UVB lighting to support her bone health.
– A diet consisting of fresh vegetables, insects, and occasional fruits, tailored to her specific dietary needs.
– Regular handling and socialization to build trust and confidence.
– Veterinary check-ups to monitor her progress and ensure she continues to thrive.

Are you ready to provide Honey with the loving forever home she is looking for? If you’re an experienced reptile enthusiast looking to make a difference in the life of this special dragon, please consider adopting Honey today. 🍯💛🐛

Time to place the “basking light” on the scaled family members of our community. Featuring patients Nindo, Leon, and Maverick. Can you guess what kind of reptiles they are?

They all reside with team members of our hospital & we are grateful to call them family!
