Good morning everyone!!
We are VERY desperate for some things at the shelter including some medications for some of our sick animals.
We are trying to raise money for Jafar to get his abscess tooth fixed but are VERY SHORT!
Unfortunately we haven’t had great luck raising money which is one of the reasons we had to close our public location.
I know it’s Christmas time and along side of struggling to make enough money for the animals through fundraising, I have been INCREDIBLY slow at the salon which is how I usually make up the difference.
We are desperate and are asking our community for help.
We have had ZERO adoptions and barely enough donations to help us with food.
I am not usually one to beg but I don’t know what we will do if we don’t start bringing in money soon!
I don’t want to shut down the rescue but it’s looking more and more like that’s what we’ll have to do every single day.

Starting in the new year we will be preparing for Jungle Jam Expo!!

Stay tuned for our biggest show yet!!!!

🐍All they want for Christmas is a home 🥹

Feel free to rename them but in light of this year being an election year, we did a little political themed naming.

These sweet babies are all on frozen thawed rodents and are eating and going to the bathroom regularly!

They’re all clear of parasites and respiratory infections and they all have clean stools.

They will need a requirement of at least a 40 gallon enclosure with proper heat, a gradient of temperature ranging from the hot side being around 90-95 degrees and the cool side being roughly in the 80’s.

They’ll need a hide on both sides so they’re able to thermoregulate and a proper water dish they can fully submerge into.

If you’re interested in these little noodles please message me at (740) 525-5268 by texting SNAKE and I will respond as soon as possible!

These are just a few of our adoptable animals, more to come soon!! 🐍

Remember the 9 snakes who were surrendered to us a few weeks ago?
One was incredibly emaciated and sick. Look at her now! A full 3 feeding sessions, one VERY clean shed, and she is active and curious.
She still has QUITE a bit of weight to put on before she can be up for adoption but just LOOK AT HER!
The others are ready and looking for homes.
We are taking them to Fort Wayne Indiana tomorrow for a really cool expo, where we’re hoping most of them find their forever homes.
Stay tuned on this beautiful girl and her progress!

🐢Fun facts!🐢

-Every tortoise is a turtle but not every turtle is a tortoise.

-Turtles generally are omnivorous, even tortoises.

-Research your species but a lot of tortoises need an omnivorous diet to have substantial nutritional adequacy.

-I give our tortoises cuddle bones and egg shells to meet their dietary needs. I’ve seen people also add things like high quality dog food.

THANK YOU!!!
We have received 4 bottles of Chlorhexidine solution and over $200 of donations to our apps!!
We are so grateful for you help!
We got 9 snakes and one VERY large tortoise this past week all surrendered!
The snakes are being nebbed in F-10 and are being housed in plastic bins which help us maintain the sterilization process and keep humidity inside for their respiratory system.
They have ALL EATEN!!!!
We had to purchase 15 anoles for our African Bush snake, Bernard, who will be up for adoption to only the right person, as his diet is very particular!
Our newest member is a tortoise pictured below and she needs a name!
Drop a comment and help us name her. She will be joining us in our educational program in the valley so book your spot today!!

As most of you know, FGS8 received NINE snakes yesterday from a rescue done by a local breeder.
He went and picked the animals up and then brought them straight to the shelter!
ALL of the animals appear to have RI and some are severely underfed!
As most of you know, feeders are incredibly expensive!
We are asking for donations of any kind. We need feeders mostly but paper towels, heat mats, F-10, chlorhexidine, and scent free wipes!

Hello everyone!! As you’ve all noticed the karaoke contest has been cancelled! I am so sorry for the late notice.
We are facing some difficult times right now as we plan to shut down the public facility and navigate our new way of running.
This event had been scheduled to be cancelled about a month ago and it had just come to my attention that it was still up and running!
Please forgive us for this mistake! We are genuinely sorry and prepping another event soon!

When owning reptiles, it’s important to always be on guard for scary things. In this case, Sarge is trying to escape through his privacy wall… as you can see, he failed. #fyp #fy #funny #humor #laugh #scary

We have a lucky winner of the duck raffle! Thank you to everyone who participated! 🦆

Oh the children grow up too fast 🥹

Ethically sourced, kept, and cared for! From our loving sanctuary to your beloved pet. 🫶

He needed a bit of encouragement for the day. Anyone else? Positive self talk always does the trick 🙏

The budgies are enjoying a Spotify playlist just for them! They just got their cage cleaned out and got to fly around the facility and now they’re resting and enjoying the sunshine ☀️ #parakeets #birdsofinstagram #instagood

Update on this little buddy 🤩 #python

Stay tuned for the progress of these beautiful snakes we just got in 🤩 This one is going on a smool diet and the other is suffering from a pretty severe RI 😞 If you are wanting to donate to help us get enclosures for these big girls please click the link!👇👇👇👇 https://linktr.ee/forgoodnesssnakes8 #fyp #foryou #viral #video #reels #viralreels #animal #snake #snakes #reptiles #boa #instagood #instadaily #reptilesofinstagram #snakesofinstagram #donate #rescue #shelter #animalshelter

This is what we do folks. These animals suffer and struggle just the same as your cat or dog. The difference? We’ve been programmed to believe they’re evil or scary. That’s the saddest part of it all! They don’t stand a chance. Isn’t that just like humans? Deciding who is and isn’t worthy of our empathy and help? It feels like a cut so incredibly deep that it’s going to take a HUGE amount of effort to fix the problem. The problem starts with us! Decide they’re worth it! Worth the education, worth the empathy, worth the time, and most of all, worth raising your VOICE! #theymatter #reptiles
