Then and Today
What a difference a soft place to land makes. We were contacted in April by Vt fish and game and a local landlord to take this axolotl in after it was found abandoned in an apartment. She was in pretty rough shape and still has a long way to go, but is determined and gaining steadily. The smile on that face is what makes it all worth it.

If you or anyone you know finds themselves in a situation where you can not take care of an animal in your care, please reach out. Abandoning or releasing is animal is never a valid option.

Ever thought about adopting a hedgehog?
Meet Penny! Like any exotic creature Hedgehogs need very specific environments to thrive. Since she’s a young gal at 6 months old she needs gentle handling and is looking for the right fit for a forever home.
If you think your home is the perfect place for our lucky penny, give Morgan a shout. Adopters will need to set up or show proof of set up and knowledge. We are happy to teach new to hedgie humans about the best way to keep this pokey baby.

The crested gecko (Correlophus ciliatus), or eyelash gecko, was believed to be extinct until it was rediscovered in 1994. Native to southern New Caledonia, these geckos are now among the most popular pet geckos in the world. Like many species of reptiles, these geckos are proving to be quite long-lived animals.

Tokay geckos (Gekko gecko) are nocturnal arboreal geckos native to parts of Asia and some Pacific islands. Its natural habitat would be trees and cliffs in rainforest, but it is known to frequently inhabit both rural and urban areas, eating insects attracted to the electrical lights. Tokays are often very visually appealing, but infamously feisty, and not for the faint of heart. Estimates place this species as the third largest known gecko, with adults averaging 10 to 12 inches in length. These geckos are also known to be significantly vocal, with their common name being derived from an onomatopoeia of their call (their calls sound similar to “toh-kay”). In some parts of their native range, the species is threatened with extinction. Luckily, this species breeds readily under human care to support the growing interest in keeping them as pets.
