ADOPTION POST📣📣📣📣

THIS is one of my personal favorite kinds of adoptions, when an animal is fulfilling a need in someone! And clearly vice versa 😉☺️🥰

Jimmie is a perfect example of a match made in heaven💗💗💗

Words from Jimmie:
“I suffer from PTSD, and i use a bearded dragon for when i get into stressfull situations like most use drugs. SO, when my bearded dragon passed away from age, I was looking for a new one but didn't want a baby. I did alot of searching and came across North Texas Reptile Rescue. I met with Susan and told her what I needed and she went to work doing what she does best. She gave me a few options that she thought would meet my needs but a couple days before we were planned to meet she told me about Ace a 4 year old dragon that she thought would be perfect for me. I went and met Ace and we hit it off right away. At first he was a little rambunctious but has calmed down now. He sleeps with me in his little area covered up with his blanket and goes everywhere with me. Yes I have a proper teranium set up for him but he would rather be out cuddled up with me or running playing with his beardie ball. He is a wonderful bearded dragon and couldnt ask for a better one.”

THIS makes my heart so happy and fulfilled! Thank you Jimmie AND Ace 💘💘💘💘

Reptiles, (well any animal really, but I am finding especially dragons, are highly capable of fulfilling a need in someone’s life due to the unique bond that can be formed. Not every dragon is capable of this and not every human is open to it OR has the time for it…which the animal WILL feel and respond to😞. They know when they are loved and treasured.💓💓

Thank you, Jimmie for sharing your story and for giving your heart to this very very special dragon!!🤗😘🥰🥰🥰

WELCOME to our family here at NTRR. Feel free to share pic on our here on our group page and certainly, your wife’s lovely dragon and your baby dragon suffering from adenovirus can be shared as well! 🥰😇

And here I want to say this, thank you for your honesty and concern for Ace’s wellbeing! With proper precautions, having a dragon with Adenovirus does is not preclude you from having other dragons 🥰💗💗

To bring some cheer to the page… some Sugar Ray content. 💕

Sugar Ray is a special dragon with a very special story. Several people played a role in making sure this dragon has the best life he possibly could.

Let us know if you’d like a Sugar Ray story recap!

We wanted to give a BIG SHOUT OUT to Susan Beate Danziger, Adoption/Foster Coordinator for everything that she does to facilitate adoptions, helping families get the husbandry correct, with so many different species of reptiles and helping our foster families get the many needed supplies.

Susan will be taking a much needed break for a couple of days and through the weekend so that she can spend much needed time with her family and actually rest.
We could not run this rescue, without the Susan, and her role as Adoption and Foster Coordinator.

Let’s send Susan some love and fun pictures of reptiles that have been adopted from North Texas Reptile Rescue.
We love you Susan ❤️

A Big Thank You to Roy Sample for building this rack system for the 4 African Soft Fur Colonies that we currently have. Now that they have ample space, we are hoping for a lot more litters.
Michelle reached out to Roy about building a rack for our rescue, and this rack is easy to set up. We have space for 2 more colonies. So if you want to donate a ASF Colony, it would sure help with our raising some in house feeders. Trying to cut every corner we can. Rescue is expensive, and having our many contributors help with donations, purchasing off Chewy, Amazon and others donating time to foster, we are able to help find forever homes for the many different species of reptiles that are in our rescue.
TO ADOPT OR FOSTER:

Please visit our website at www.ntreptilerescue.org
And find out Link Tree to donate.

We are truly grateful for your support, help, and all of generosity.

Adoption Announcement! 📣📣📣🎉🎉🎉

Goblin once a foster now Spike an a family member living his dream life…Totally spoiled and ruling his people!😂😇🥳🥳🥳🥳

This is one very smart dragon! And he is living his bestest and brattiest life with his BFF Zoey who is not afraid to discover all his potentials!! And along the way has made a bond beyond imagination! 💗💗💗💗

Goblin was fostered at first as mom, who fosters dogs, was not sure how things would work out. BUT her daughter, Zoey, and hubby, Zack, both reptile enthusiasts, wanted to give Goblin a shot!!

Well flash forward 2 months and Goblin, now Spike, is firmly rooted in the hearts of this family and his BFF, Zoey owns HIS heart!!💓💓
AND, Ms Amanda is NOW a major foster for our rescue! She is currently fostering 11 leopard geckos, two Ball pythons, a King snake, and another bearded dragon!!

AND Amanda has found out she is a leopard gecko whisperer!! They all come to her and love being held!!!! 🙌👏🥰

Back to Spike!!
There is nothing this guy does not love doing as long as it involves his people or getting tons of attention!!

He truly has a huge personality!

“He waved at me the other night and started knocking on the glass and I opened the door and he crawled into my hand climbed up onto my shoulder and fell asleep”’🥰

“He is an extremely messy eater. Absolutely loves carrots hates red bell pepper. He threw it all over his cage. It was like he was having a temper tantrum”!😂🤦🏻‍♀️

“He loves swimming in her water table. It has multiple levels so he can swim down deep and then get up high and just lay”.

“He loves climbing his cat tree”!

“We take him outside everyday rain or shine he loves the rain he likes to drink it”.

“He's very active and is always banging on this enclosure to get out and he acts like a such a fool we had to take all the potted plants out he tore them up. I can hear him banging on the glass to get out from the backyard 🤣

On the way to a reptile event Amanda was running:
“Spike is just something else when I put him in his travel tank he blackbearded me he was so mad. I had him set up on a shelf was about to grab him to load them up in the car when I walked past the shelf he lunged his entire body at the side of his bin I caught it... He was mad he was hissing he was furious. As soon as we got there I let him out he was so happy open mouth breathing perched up on some little kid getting handled and touched and messed with out of his cage. He loved the event he loved the attention. As soon as we put it back in his enclosure at home he trashed all the decor. Threw his food bowl, pooped all over his basking spot (he never poops on his basking spot). He had a full-blown temper tantrum 😂😂😂”!

When Zoey was away at her grandparents house literally a brief stay that got shortened!!

“Spike has been very upset”😤😤

-He won’t stop eating…-Oh he is so mad we took the bowl he was grabbing it! Maybe he's emotional eating?
-He's been head bobbing and blackbearding
-He just whipped the cage doors with his tail
So….
Zoey had to come home early!🤦🏻‍♀️
OMG😂😵‍💫😇😇 see reunion photo 🥰💗💗

I can wait to hear more stories!!

AND a great big WELCOME to NTRR to this amazing family! We are so happy you found your way to us, thank you Spike 😉! Looking forward to more adventures in the life and times of Spike and his growing family!!🥳🎉🎉🎉🥰🥰🥰

*ADOPTION ANNOUNCEMENT!📣🥳

My friend, adopted my very first rescue last spring - a beautiful Genetic Stripe Ball Python they named Rickman. Since then, they have become one of our absolute most trusted and favorite adopters AND foster families, adding not one, not two, but THREE of mine and NTRR’s snakes to their family! ⭐️

Recently they did an emergency rescue of their own, and asked if I had room to take in one more dragon who was found outdoors. I always have room for emergencies, so of course I said yes! After a few measly hours of contemplation, they decided to adopt her right back! They named her Idaho, Ida for short. 🥰 I have had the honor of fostering Ida for the last two weeks while they got her set up absolutely perfect! Today was the big day that Ida got to go home with her forever family!! ♥️

Congratulations Ida, we are so happy for you!! 👏♥️🏆😎🥰🥳

(Our lovely board member in San Antonio works equally as hard to find animals their forever homes)!

Thank you post!

Thank you Julie Morningstar for this wonderful donation! She saw that a pet store was closing down and everything was 75% off. Just about everything in these (not everything) can be used for one animal or another (not necessarily the animal it’s marked for and not everything in the “kit” will go together). But nonetheless there is some really great items in these tanks! Plus the tanks themselves will get used for all of the wonderful fosters we have had step up.

Thank you Julie for your wonderful generosity. It means so much!

11/02/2024

With as busy as we have been we have made the desion to close on Sunday's.

Family time is very important to us, and we have not been able to spend time with them. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

Thank you for your understanding.

The storage unit is empty. Thank you to everyone who helped us get this done.

FABULOUS Adoption announcement!👏👏📣

Nico (former NTRR BD Joey) is joined by a new leopard gecko brother, POPTART aka TART for short 😂🥰🎉🎉

Once momma Heather adopted her baby Nico, Jason got an itch to have a baby of his own. He spotted Poptart and never looked back!

Heather and Jason one of those couples that is all about their animal babies! Nothing is too good or grand for them. Heather & Jason have put a lot of thought and care into creating the homes for these two very special babies. They even custom made many of the features and items the enclosures!🤩👏 AND BOTH take full advantage of all there spots!!

Poptart is still a young guy and while he loves to be held and go for rides on his parents he also wants to explore and will give CHIRP of displeasure if his plans are thwarted 😂🤦🏻‍♀️. Just as Nico will give his death side eye! Yep, two bratty youngsters for sure. 🥳 And their parents couldn’t adore them more 😇💓💓💓💓

Feeding time is so much fun!
“Tart gets SO excited now when it’s buggie time, he comes running down from his tree when I take the dish out of his enclosure! Today after I put the dubias in the dish, I look back down and he is in position ready for dinner right where the dish goes 😂”!

Poptart could not be more adored for both his sweetness as well as for his diabolical nature. 🥳😇

So glad this family is part of our family here at NTRR! 💗And look forward to hearing loads of fun stories about their sweeties🥰

By far the best moment yesterday, watching Michelle, giving Ivy the love and support that she needed. Love you Michelle and Oscar.

Frizzle update: The once defensive, tail whipping, hyper sensitive golden tegu has become a trusting, curious, and enjoyable tegu. With continued handling, Frizzle no longer darts away, but instead is curious to what I am offering him for a snack. Frizzle gently takes from my hands and while he huffs, he makes the effort to meet me with out any aggression. I’m so proud of Frizzle. While I cringe at letting him go to his forever, it is time for Frizzle to step into a new life with a loving and devoted new home. Enclosure requirements: -6 foot grow tent or enclosure -High humidity requirements -Misting system or hand mist daily (he loves to be misted) -Diet: carnivorous meat mash, pinky rats, Dubia roaches.

Frizzle “The Golden Tegu” has really come along way with his training, handling and learning to trust the human hand. We are still working with Frizzle, 2-3 times a day for 10-15 minute increments. He is currently eating meat mash mixes with ground up chicken, and chicken hearts, veggies and collard greens, squash, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries. Other meat mash mixes are dear back strap, with dove, feathers included all ground up with the staple veggies and seasonal fruit. I have 4 meat mash mixes to rotate. I use“Rose City Reptile” meat mixes. I have 4 beautiful female tegu’s , so I make a lot of mash, and want to give them variety. They get Miner-All Indoor vitamin/D3 supplements added to their mash, prior to freezing. If you are interested in adopting Frizzle please reach out to Aimee Zissa at 214-402-8198 or Susan Beate Danziger our adoption coordinator Requirements for adoption: 6 foot enclosure with proper UVB and heating. I can definitely help with enclosure set up. Please understand that Tegu’s need 8x4x4 as adults. Frizzle will make a fantastic addition, and with continued training, interaction every day, Frizzle will be a fun tegu to enjoy and play with. This is not a beginner reptile, experience is a must for Frizzle. Aimee Zissa Tegu Keeper/ Foster Snake Keeper/foster Co-Founder NTRR [email protected]

Meet Elvis ❤️ Elvis is a juvenile leopard gecko and is learning to deal with the noise, camera, new person in his face. Elvis has been with me for 3 days and is really showing off his very sweet demeanor. Even though he is a bit skittish, with some patience, some time handling Elvis, he is going to make a wonderful addition to his new family. Would definitely recommend very gentle hands and lots of patience. Older kids would be ideal, but could go to a home with younger kids, and have supervised time with Elvis For adoption information please contact Susan Beate Danziger at +1 (240) 876-0427 Aimee Zissa Elvis Foster
