HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Maize!! She turns 24 this year!!
Maize was a class pet after 9/11 to get the kids minds off everything. She was in the class for 21 years and then after the teacher retired she found her way to us. We love her so much. 💚🐍

Sorry we haven’t posted in awhile. We had a lot of thinking to do. We tried to think about everything we could do to stay open, but we think it’s time to shut the doors to our rescue. When we started we had more time and space for our scaly friends. Now that I (Sean) am working at LSU Vet School Hospital along worh my wife, I am working longer hours and the time for the rescue is getting less and less. I started this because I always wanted to work with animals and now I get to do that at LSU. We might start up again in a couple years, but I think the direction we want to go in is wildlife and rehabilitation and releasing the animals if they can survive in the wild. We want to thank everyone for your support and donations and belief in us. We couldn’t have done this without y’all. Since we started in January of 2022 we rescued 69 reptiles and adopted out 58. We will continue to do educational shows around town and show people how amazing reptiles can be. We will keep most of our ambassadors for our shows. We will continue to post and be a source for people who need help with their animals on any way we can. Again thanks for everything.

We sadly said good bye to Merlin two nights ago. He passed at our house. He was a great chameleon who deserved a better life. We are glad he had a better life with us at the end and was able to show kids how cool reptiles are. Hug your pet today for tomorrow isn’t promised. 💚🦎

Merlin hasn’t been doing well lately. He’s slowed down a lot and his appetite has decreased. We brought him into LSU Monday. He had some periodontal issues along with some issues with his hemipene. He’s on some antibiotics and some pain medication along with “brushing” his teeth twice a day. We started to syringe feed him because it looked like it hurts for him to eat. He’s about 5 years old or older which is old for a chameleon who hasn’t had the best life. Fingers crossed, we are doing what we can. 🤞🏼🦎💚
