Big, an almost 10 year old leopard gecko has been with us for far too long (since 2021).
Like her name, she has a BIG motivation for food. She's hand-tamed and doesn't mind coming out to hang! We're hoping 2025 is Big's year to find her forever home.

Have an interest in Big? You can find our adoption application forms here: https://forms.gle/nEgBtRkmCELTcjtt5

Big is hoping everyone will share this post.

Dovah is a five and half year old, shy girl. She's certainly skittish with handling, but calms a fair bit when she's out in your hands. Not trustworthy, yet, though. It's a work in progress!
Dovah LOVES to eat! It's ALMOST enough to immediately overcome her shyness. So we can say she's food motivated ;)
Dovah doesn't have any underlying medical issues. She's ready to find her forever person or family.

Adoption application forms for Dovah can be found here;

Here is Slater the cornsnake. This young man (almost a year old) has been enjoying his time at Galaxy Reptile Rescue. However, he is really hoping to find his forever home in 2025!

Slaters' friendly and outgoing personality makes him a great candidate for any home.
He is eating well and is very excited when it comes to dinner time. Slater has no medical issues.

If you have an interest in Slater, you can fill out an adoption application form here;
