GREAT NEWS!

The python who was found under the hood of a Richland man’s work truck on Monday was reunited with his owner today!

It turns out the snake had escaped from his cage a couple days earlier and his owners were worried sick. He managed to get outside and eventually take up residence in that nearby work truck. That’s when Danny checked his oil and found the snake, and managed to contain him until our rescue could pick him up (Forgotten Friend Reptile Sanctuary).

THANK YOU to everyone who shared the video. The snake’s owners said they learned their pet had been found when they saw the posts on the Lebanon FB groups! They asked not to be in photos themselves, but passed along their thanks to everyone who shared the video and helped them find their lost pet. Thanks for giving reptiles a chance.

Here’s the video again if you missed it:

This little fella, Morty, just came in to the rescue today. He seems quite healthy and active. Hopefully he’ll be adoptable at our adoption event at That Fish Place-That Pet Place August 23!

We shared reptiles with people from many nations this week, thru the migrant education program. One of the coolest teachers there, Isabella, especially loved our red tail boa Henry when she discovered they are both from the country of Colombia 🇨🇴 but she also loved Dudley, our Pennsylvania black rat snake 😊

Isabella said she wants to adopt a snake from us on August 23 when we have adoptable reptiles at That Fish Place-That Pet Place in Lancaster. Mark your calendars!
