Let’s get Ivy, a leopard gecko, his forever home! He’s a great chunky gecko who is good at being handled, eats well, and would make a great addition for a new to advanced reptile keeper. He deserves a great home. PM for details. Located in BR.

We did a thing we said we wouldn’t do as a rescue but we purchased one of our dream reptiles several months ago. We made sure we went to a reputable breeder that started out as a rescue themselves. is an awesome wife and husband team (just like us) who breed and rescue reptiles in Mississippi. We met them at an expo and they were nice to us from the start. Everyone meet Croissant a Leachianus Gecko from New Caladonia. They will get the size of your hand or bigger. We can’t wait to add him to our ambassadors and bring him to shows in the future. 💚🦎🥐

Sunny is up for adoption Sunday!! She is a beautiful, young ball python looking for her forever home. She’s been eating well and is great at being handled. She has been checked out by the vet and is ready to go! PM for details and located in BR.

Repost: Adoption fell through
Is there anyone willing to adopt this beautiful ball python? She does have the neurological issue called the wobbles. It would have to be someone who with our help, would be able to take care of a reptile with special needs. A issue that can’t be cured. It gets worse when stress, but better when she is calm. She has eaten several times with us. PM for details.

Oreo!
To think this dude was on death’s doorstep when we got him. Now he’s literally running and jumping for food and loves to be held. We are working on socializing him now so he can come to show and tells. We love Oreo!!💚🦎

Flashback to our first reptile we got in January of 2021. We got Falkor, a leopard gecko, from a guy who we also got our second reptile from Draco a crested gecko. Falkor was 2-3 years old and didn’t have a name and was very malnourished. The second picture is of him now. Falkor was our first reptile and is the reason we fell in love with reptiles. 💚🦎💚

Wait. For. It..🤣🦎

Video of me and Ares.💚🐍

Oreo! He loves eating chicken sticks! He lost some weight when we brought him to LSU last month, but he’s gaining it back now that we know what he likes to eat. 💚🦎

Oreo Update: So Oreo came to us mid August. He had a terrible eye infection where he couldn’t even open them. He was very dehydrated, hadn’t eaten in two months, and had several parasites including salmonella, along with an impaction. We did eye drops 4 times a day along with daily soaks and antibiotics and in a couple weeks he passed the impaction and was eating baby food. Early October he started to eat actual food and Repashy and his eye infection was gone and was salmonella free. Well we tested a fecal today and he’s 100% parasite free! He’s been eating regular food. In the video he’s eating chicken sticks. He loves bananas, bell peppers, and Dubia Roaches. He can finally go into the reptile room and out of the quarantine room!! We can’t wait to bring him to his first show and tell!! We are so excited!!💚🦎💚

Stevie got a new enclosure that fits him!! We still have some accessories to add along with a bigger hide that our friend Thomas made for us. It’s a 8x2x2!! Stevie can stretch out now!💚🐍💚

Brooke went to sit at the back of the class when we pulled out the snakes for the presentation. We are so proud of her for overcoming her fears and holding an 8 foot Burmese Python by the end of our visit. 💚🐍

Oreo Update: He’s eating. He loves baby food and blueberries as a treat. He’s earned it! He has his eyes open all the time now. He doesn’t have one of the several parasites anymore. We will continue to monitor that. He still doesn’t have all his strength back but he’s moving around. We do daily soaks and eye drops and he went and got some sun yesterday outside. This little guy was on death’s doorstep when we got him so we are glad he’s doing so well. Again thanks to the LSU Zoo Med team for all their help and support!! Stay tuned for more updates. 💚🦎

Oreo

Oreo Update: He’s back with us after spending the week at LSU. He still has a ways to go. He still has parasites and salmonella so we are being very cautious and wearing gloves and disinfecting everything. That being said, he’s doing so much better!! He’s eating, he’s standing up and walking, and his eye infection has vastly improved! The LSU Zoo Med Team and their students did an INCREDIBLE job helping this guy begin recovery. We can't stress enough how much we appreciate them, we really don't think this guy would have made it without their care. We love this guy so much and are pumped to see some improvements. Also this is just a transport tank and not his actual tank. Keep watching for more updates. 💚🙏🏼🦎
