Hello Everyone,
As you may know, Reptile Store has closed their door at their physical location in Hamilton. This translates to us not being able to help reptiles in need as much as we wanted to. With door closed and people behind adoptions gone, we have not been very active in that field.
We are going to Expo on this weekend and we will bring couple of adoptable Bearded Dragons. Some of them require special care and attention due to their mobility issues, the other are without mobility impediments and can be adopted by anybody. Their care would be not different from regular "perfect" dragon.
I am attaching pictures of adoptables here in case you wanted to know what to expect. Adoption price is set at $30.00 regardless of the animal.
Hope to see you there.
If you want to reserve any of the animals, please email me at [email protected]
This is THE ONLY email we have currently access to. so please use that one.

Say hello to Buster the Ball Python! Buster is a "wild type" or "Normal" morph, just how nature intended! Owning a ball python that is not a fancy morph has many perks! They tend to eat better and have very few neurological issues that usually come with fancy morphs from selective breeding. Buster has no imperfections and was simply abandoned by their previous owner. If you are looking for a great companion like Buster please email [email protected] or contact us via our social media's.

We would like to thank our new Fundraising Coordinator Justine for everything she has done since officially joining the team. All of the fantastic bath bombs, stickers, and online gently used pet item sales have been her wonderful ideas.

Water is so important for reptiles to maintain their health. Sometimes the simplest things get over looked when our reptiles aren't feeling well. Lots of the animals that come to Perfect Imperfect Adoptions suffer from health complications that are a result of dehydration. Never assume your reptiles are drinking. Make sure you see them drinking and provide ideal options for them to choose from.

We spend a lot of time feeding around here. This food is given to anyone not able to, or not feeling well enough to eat or hunt their food on their own. This particular blend is Beardie Buffet by Repashy in liquid form. My chicken Nora who is also a rescue, is very interested in the work that I do. Boundaries are not Nora's strong point, so sometimes I have to make her back up a bit. 8x speed looks like I'm throwing her and the difficult beardie around, I assure you that I'm not. The amount of time it takes not sped up would be far to long to sit through. Please consider adoption, donation, sharing and following Perfect Imperfect Adoptions.

"Do they really need UVB light, Calcium, & Calcium D3? I don't really understand what it does." Let's talk about that! Reptiles need a lot of Calcium to have a properly functioning body. Reptiles with insufficient Calcium can develop a multitude of symptoms. These things are especially important during developing years and growth of your reptile. Without enough calcium the body will begin to leech it from other parts of the body to keep the organs and especially the heart and brain functioning. Often the bones will become rubbery feeling and will begin to collapse like you see in the video. Other times the animals can have neurological symptoms first like shaking, or walking as if they are intoxicated. This is often referred to as "MBD" or "Metablic Bone Disease." Without correction this will ultimately lead to an early and painful death. So is MBD a death sentence? Are animals with MBD a lost cause? In most cases NO! We cannot reverse MBD, but we can prevent it from getting worse. Always consult a medical exotic professional if you are attempting to rehabilitate a reptile with MBD. It is extremely important to access quality of life. More often than not, a reptile who receives treatment in time, gets a stable diet, proper lighting and accommodations in their husbandry can still have long and happy lives.

Our reptiles depend on us to keep them safe and healthy. Lots of very important things can be missed when we don't look at the bottom half of their bodies. You can save your reptile from discomfort or worse and yourself some hefty vet bills by being vigilant. It may feel a little invasive but you and your animals will thank you in the long

A special thanks to Alicia for sending in this video of her Bearded Dragon Potato that she adopted from us a few months ago. We often are asked if the animals we adopt out have quality of life with their unconventional bodies. Here is a video of Potato who was born with scoliosis getting sassy about one of her siblings passing by below her cage. In the reptile industry, Potato is considered imperfect and for that reason she would have been euthanized. Potato clearly can function and thrive despite her appearance. Thanks to Alicia, Potato was saved from unnecessary euthanasia and is living her best life with her wonderful family. Thank you to everyone who has adopted from us, or is considering adopting.

Perfect Imperfect Adoptions: Mission

The average reptile retailer will commonly only purchase “perfect” animals for reselling. As a result, any animal with any big or small physical or neurological imperfection is often left behind without the chance to find a home.

The impact of the perfect-only selling of animals means that without a place to go most of these imperfect animals are often euthanized due to lack of space.

Unlike cats and dogs there is no place to send these reptiles and amphibians to be adopted out to loving homes. Where they can live out long successful lives getting the one on one care that they need.

Our mission is to bring attention to this issue and fight the stigma that imperfect means “bad”. All the animals are in good health and despite looking a bit different are still able to make good pets. They are still able to make you smile, and they are still able to bring you joy.
