This beautiful corn snake is Percy! Percy is a male corn snake and he’s ready to find his new home. He’s very mellow for a corn snake and might make a great pet for a classroom or older child. He has never struck at or musked his adopter, and even takes prey gently. He is eating well on f/t mice.

If you are interested in Percy, send us a message! Adoption fee and proof of suitable enclosure required. Percy will need at minimum a 40 gallon tank, but would do better in a Dubia or similar brand 4x2x2 enclosure. If you need help or a checklist, please reach out!

Hunter is available for adoption!
this dude has really developed a big personality. He's like a little puppy! He was so timid that he would wait for me to leave before he would eat but now he is running to see me and taking his bugs from my hand. He sleeps in the most adorable positions and has a silly little smile. He knows when his picture is being taken and will always tilt his head for a photo. A bigger fan of basking rather than hiding so he's the kind of reptile who's always on display to be admired.

If you are interested in adopting hunter feel free to message us!
We do low adoption fees and require proof of enclosure..
If you want to put a deposit on hunter the deposit is non refundable..

And corky a male spider ball python (age unknown)

If you are interested in adopting either of these ball pythons send us a message!
We do require proof of enclosure and a deposit that’s non refundable.

For the month of January our top wishlist item is UVB bulbs!

We replace our UVB bulbs once a year to ensure we are providing the highest UVB output for our foster animals.
This is essential for us to run our rescue as effectively as possible..

Romeo is a 15 year old ball python. He is a sweet dude. He loves to free roam outside and hang around my arm. He also like to people watch, he will peek out of his hide when he hears someone come into the room. He takes his time eating but has never rejected a meal. He could use a really good home to live out the rest of his time

Athena is very shy, she spends most of her time in her hide. However, she doesn’t mind being handled and will hang out with you as much as you want to, but is happy to get back to her hide once you put her back. Her favorite food so far are crickets. She is in need of a forever home.

Gamora has been with us for so long. She arrive in such horrible conditions. She had found a home for short time that didn’t work out. She deserves the best. Her current foster says “She is very shy, but when comfortable she is an explorer being curious and loves to sight see! She knows when it's food time and she makes sure to tell you when she is ready. Tame and handlable and can tell the difference between food and person.”

Our P.O. Box is closing. We do not have a public mailing address at this time. Hope to get it back up soon.

Here is our first intake of the year!
Her name is Zara and she is a year and half old veiled chameleon!
Her previous owners surrendered her after realizing how much work chameleons take which we completely understand. Chameleons are drama queens!
She is in a 2 week quarantine right now getting comfortable at her fosters home

We want to thank each and every one of our , fosters, and adopters as we would not be able to function without your support! It is because of YOU we were able to rescue 197 animals (excluding aquatic turtles) this past year!

This sweet Crested Gecko is Rufus. He was surrendered a few days ago with a leopard gecko as his family was no longer able to care for them. So far he has been doing very well with his foster and has a great appetite. He will be available for adoption after his quarantine period.
