Frizzle and Frazzle
Frizzle and his sister Frazzle can be a bit demanding when it comes to their food. They love Salmon or Tilapia chunks. They also enjoy ground rabbit, turkey, and chicken. They occasionally get whole prey (small asf). Bugs, and fruit is also a part of their diet (which they love grapes ang mango). One thing they always go crazy for is raw egg, we usually crack it over the raw meat they get but today they went without and they did not seem too amused. Frizzle (M) and Frazzle (F) are 10 week old Golden Tegus. They are available for adoption but MUST be adopted separately! They need to be adopted by an experienced reptile keeper as they are very different from the more docile Agentine Tegu. They also should be in a home with NO small children. Golden Tegus are generally smaller and require a lot more work on building trust with an owner. However, when the time is put in to build that bond it is truly a remarkable experience. #ntrr #exotic #reptile #northtexasreptilerescue #exoticreptilerescue #tegu #goldentegu #dinnertime #wheresmyeggs #frizzle #frazzle #adoptme #adoptdontshop #fyp #foryourpage
Cleaning tegu enclosures, and Rap Rap and Bliss ( my sweet foster tegu). sharing the basking platform today.
Rap Rap is so good at showing Bliss how to chill out when mom cleans enclosures.
Love these big beautiful tegu’s ❤️
Bliss is still available for adoption. She’s ready for her forever home.
We have a fabulous announcement about one of our rescued tegu’s ❤️ 😀
Archie has a new mom. Lauren has been looking for a tegu for the last year, and fell in love with Archie.
Lauren worked her tail off getting his grow tent ready for him, and he is finally home.
Lauren and Archie just hit it off and they will have the best life together.
We have updates on the 5 beautiful Tegu’s at the Tegu House.
Archie has had the opportunity to meet Baby Blue , Bliss, Rap Rap, Sunny and Frizzle and Frazzle watch from their enclosure.
Bliss is in full Guberty and working on the trust and interaction.
Archie is the sweetest male tegu that I have had the opportunity to work with.
He has not shown any sort of aggression towards me or towards any of the other tegu’s.
The interactions are through the enclosure doors to keep each of the interactions safe.
The interactions I have with Archie on a daily basis, is easy going, and this boy loves blueberries.
Baby Blue is going back on our adoption page this week, due to a change heart and an expanding family, and the adopter made the right decision to give up this amazing beautiful blue tegu.
Frizzle has been hanging out side of the enclosure for 5-10 minutes increments and has their first hopper mouse.
Frazzle is also becoming more interactive and likes to hang out on top of my head while I walk around a small area in my bedroom.
We have 4 amazing Tegu’s needing forever homes.
Archie needs a large 8x4x4 either grow tent or custom enclosure as he is a big loving boy ❤️
Baby Blue is at a year old, and still growing. Ideally 8x4x4 enclosure or grow tent for a proper size enclosure.
Golden tegu’s are around the same size as blue tegu’s
Sobek is feeling like a million dollar babyyyyy. He is not ready for adoption yet but he will be available soon and we know he will get scooped up quick! #ntrr #exotic #reptile #rescue #northtexasreptilerescue #exoticreptilerescue #dragon #beardeddragon #sobek #kingfthemountain #beardeddragonsoftiktok #milliondollarbaby #fyp #foryourpage

Meet our newest tegu surrender, Bliss.
Bliss is a female , Black and White Agentine tegu around a year old and was surrendered by a very loving owner, who is expecting her first baby and just would not be able to give Bliss the time and attention this young and beautiful tegu deserves.
Once Bliss has completed her 30 day quarantine, Bliss will be available for adoption.
This is one very sweet girl and if I didn’t have 3 other female tegu’s, she would be staying,
Welcome to NTTR sweet Bliss ❤️
Marley, who came to our rescue 2 weeks ago, was so very emaciated and so skinny.
We have been slowly feeding Marley asf pups, so Marley doesn’t regurgitate. So far so good, on eating. This little stinker decided that I was dinner, and he latched on to my wrist.
While he decided to see if he could eat my wrist, I unloaded the dishwasher, folded some clothes and then Marley just thought I was not tasty enough.
I’m very happy that Marley is hungry, and was fed 3 days ago, so he was fed again, another pup.
Next week he will be getting a much larger meal.
It’s not the best practice to double feed in one week, but he is still so hungry and he needed some extra asf’s.
Marley is not available for adoption yet, but once he gains a significant amount of weight, he likely will not be seeking my wrist for dinner.
Just to make it very clear, Marley is not a defensive snake, merely, very hungry, and Marley is a sweet noodle.
Aimee Zissa
Sweet Bodhi is all snuggled in his enclosure, bound for Maryland, with Susan transporting Bodhi, Mags, and 7 bearded dragons.
Sweet Bodhi, I’m so proud of how far you have come, learning to trust humans and letting our rescue find the most amazing home.
I know Seven Ann is beyond excited to finally have you home to live the best life.
It’s so hard saying goodbye, you venture off on a long journey with Susan.
I love you my beautiful boy and I will miss you.
So very excited for you Bodhi and Seven Ann.
Kimmi
Kimmi thinks shes a Water Dragon… not a Bearded Dragon! Do not try this with just any dragon! Aimee has worked with Kimmi for quite a while and Kimmi has shown a HUGE interest in water. The pool was introduced slowly and with total supervision. She is also not swimming for long periods of time and gets soaked in a clean bath after swim time. This was also before any chemicals were added to the pool! AGAIN do NOT try this with all dragons. If you want to see if your dragon likes water start small. Water in the sink, then in the bathtub. Then you could get a small kiddie/dog pool. #ntrr #exotic #reptile #rescue #northtexasreptilerescue #exoticreptilerescue #fyp #foryoupage #beardeddragon #swimming
Lt. Dan Update
‼️ WARNING ‼️ GRAPHIC PHOTO AT THE END‼️
Lt. Dan: I went back to the vet again on Friday - one week after my leg amputation surgery. The first thing I wanted to do was greet all of the staff - after all, they have helped me feel sooooo much better! My foster Mama says that I am what’s called a “frequent flyer,” so by now we are all great friends! 🤗 I was missing my favorite vet tech, but I guess I understand that she had a competition with her doggy. 🐶
When they called my name for me to go to the exam room, I will admit I was pretty nervous and fidgety - after all, the last time I was here I left without a leg! The first thing they did was put me on something called a “scale.” My foster Mama said it was for seeing how much I weigh. Guess what? I’ve gained 73 grams!! Everyone said how proud they were of me and how I must be eating so well and how I’m a star!! ⭐️
Then the doctor started removing my bandage. Now, I will admit that this didn’t feel great and it made me very nervous, so guess what I did? I tried my best to run away!! But my foster Mama rubbed my head and told me it would all be okay.
Everyone told me how fantastic my leg looks and how great it is healing! ❤️🩹 But my foster Mama wasn’t so convinced…. She said, “If that looks so good, what does bad look like?!?” Silly her!
Then they cleaned my stump and friends, I promise you that did NOT feel good! But then the nice lady bandaged it up for me and told me what a good boy I am! So I guess I like her okay again…
I also got another shot of Ivermectin to help those nasty mites die!! I will be happy when they are all gone because they bite me and hurt me and they make me not feel good. 😞
When my foster Mama put me back in my carrier and said it was time to go home, boy was I glad!! She said I did so good, that when we got home, I deserved a hornworm! 🥳🥰
Nova
This beauty was adopted by our adoption coordinator Susan!! Nova is here to show off that once a week little baths can be a joy! (Or shower in her case).
Let’s see your babies and how they feel about water!
Adoption alert and it’s a big one 😃😃😃
Clyde the tegu has been adopted ❤️
Clyde is now BOHDI and has been adopted by Seven Ann.
Bohdi will be here with Aimee till end of July early August and will be traveling with our infamous adoption coordinator, Susan Beate Danziger who will be in Texas. Bohdi and Susan will venture back to Virginia where Bodhi will meet his forever momma.
Seven is such a perfect fit for her beautiful Bodhi and is going to give him the best life.
Congratulations Seven Ann and Bodhi on their new journey together.
Thank Susan for making this a possibliy for Seven Ann and Bodhi.
Porter’s Corner is one of the 501c3 that North Texas Reptile Rescue has adopted our reptiles, and furry friends to. Porter’s Corner supports kids with special needs, loss and grieving, and PTSD.
Porter is the son to Wendy and step father, Scott, owners of Godwin Ranch Equine and Performance Center in Sanger, Tx.
Both Wendy and Scott found each other after losing their first spouses, and found love again, bringing their beautiful families together and sharing their love of family, horses and creating a place for amazing families, to come together to enjoy the animals and let these animals help bring big smiles to all who encounter them.
Porter’s Corner is a 501c3, and has a page. Porter’s Corner also has a summer camp for kids, and Wendy also gives riding lessons to adults.
There are so many different types of animals, including pot bellied pigs, goats, sheep, chickens, ducks, turkeys, horses of all different sizes, and of course, the ones that we have adopted to Porter’s Corner; 2 ferrets, a hedgehog and Turbo the amazing Sulcata tortoise.
Izzy Girl
In the words of our President, Michelle:
“It has taken me all day long to think of the words to make this post. My sweet Izzy Girl passed away this morning (7/4). I can't even begin to tell you the pain I feel right now. I know this pain is going to be felt with everyone that loved Izzy just as much as I do. I had so much hope and love. But it wasnt enough. She became tired in just 3 days. She had enough. I am so glad I got to be the one to love her. I'm glad she fought as hard to stay with me. I wanted so bad for her to be the iguana I knew she was. What I wouldn't of given to be tail whipped by her. Im going to miss taking her outside everyday and her looking around and then resting her face on mine.
I want to thank everyone who donated and shared Izzy. Without you I wouldn't have been able to fall in love with her. Now she can run, tailwhip, and eat all the veggies. Things she wasnt able to do because of humans who failed her.”
Tallulah
Hello humans! My name is Tallulah, I belong to Shannon (one of the board members at NTRR).
So I was having my breakfast and a show to start of my great day and I got to thinking… I have so many reptile friends in the rescue. And I began to wonder… “when will my homies find their forever homes?”
So im here to ask you, do you want to make one of my homies have a very good day? Do you want a reptilian friend to hang out and watch a movie with you? Be sure to check out all of our adoptable reptiles on our Facebook or Website! #ntrr #exotic #reptile #rescue #northtexasreptilerescue #exoticreptilerescue #eating #Tallulah #beardeddragon
