Hello all! Does anyone have a gecko or Beardie laying infertile eggs this season? One of our adopters has a very picky sand boa that refuses to eat anything else and their supply is running low. Please let us know if you’ve got any we can toss in the freezer for her!

Meet adoptable Xerxes! This California King Snake is at least 15 years and incredibly active! They love hanging out with humans and being handled, as well as exploring everywhere they can. This lazy eater likes to be hand fed frozen thawed rats and would be perfect for someone who might be a bit more nervous with snakes that eat with a bit more passion.

Say hello to adoptable Jake the Snake! Jake is a bit on the shyer side and is a terrific example of why they’re called “ball” pythons, though they will peek their gorgeous eyes out at you to see what you’re up to! Jake would do best in a home that isn’t too loud or chaotic, and has the patience to coax them out of their shell.

Interested in adding a tortoise to your family? This older guy needs some TLC as he is pretty dried out from spending 6 weeks alone in an apartment but other than needing moisture and food, doesn’t seem to have any other issues.

Looking for a sassy new friend to rule the roost? Prickles is about 2yrs old, will eat just about anything you put in front of her, and an absolute master of the disappointed stare. She could use a little work with handling as she doesn’t enjoy being picked up but she will run to you to take food gently from your hand.

These three ball pythons are up for adoption, they came from a very bad situation and are each in need of a loving home. They are between eight and ten years old, very sweet, handleable, eat well, and have had good sheds. At this time they are in foster care if anyone is interested in adopting one of these gorgeous pythons please pm me.

Gwen is a two to the three-year-old beautiful bearded dragon that has had a rough start in life. She came to the CHS adoption program in rough shape and pretty beat up. Our wonderful foster mom Stephanie has worked hard to gain her trust and gradually bring her back to health. Gwen is a very active and alert beardie, a great eater, loves being hand-fed, and a bit shy. She is gradually learning to be held and will most likely need a quiet home with adults that will bring out the amazing dragon in her that she is meant to be. If anyone is interested in working with Gwen and giving her a loving forever home, please pm me.
