Rosy May aka shoelace, bean, teeny. 🌹

She came to me so tiny and I was told she was an older snake. I’ve never seen such a tiny corn snake before, that wasn’t a baby.

She does quite well with being handled, and although can have her moments at least she’s not pooping on you like she used to when she first came here 😅 now with that being a thing of the past she has gained some calmness in hands.
She almost doesn’t look real sometimes, she is so beautiful and precious.

Rosy May is looking for her forever home.

We are so happy to be getting back to normal 💕

We are safe! And our home is safe thanks to our and who fought so hard and long for our neighborhood and surrounding to remain safe.
We are so thankful to our many other first responder groups for helping us to evacuate safely and keeping our homes and animals safe.

And a big thank you to the friends who hustled to get everyone out of here, from the 200 pounders to every tarantula. We are all so loved and I am so entirely thankful. 🥹

Some animals took a little longer to recoup than others, like the tortoises. Even though we evacuated immediately, they were already showing signs of being affected by the smoke. And after coming home we were still all so exhausted.
It took a little bit of time, but everyone is back into the groove of things. And we are so happy to be home and in our community 💕

Peacefulness 😌

I don’t think I can say it enough how thankful I am. To my amazing foster families, friends and community that helped all these little lives I care about so much.

Even though we’re all out of place, all the animals have settled well, eating, drinking and adventuring new surroundings. We can’t wait to be back home💕

We are so thankful for the help of friends and community members that helped evacuate all of our animals. We could not have successfully evacuated them all, from the biggest to the smallest, without the help we received so quickly from all of you.

As a lot of you know, our owner takes in and rehabilitates a lot of local wildlife from the town of Wrightwood and surrounding areas, all of which we had to evacuate on top of the exotic animals of the rescue, and our animal ambassadors.
Unfortunately we were forced to leave with no warning, and very quickly. We were not able to grab all the supplies we needed for our variety of animals, including birds, mammals, tortoises, etc.

If anyone is able to help us by making any donations via Zelle, or Venmo our team and our animals would be so grateful.
We also are able to accept in-person donations that can be dropped off to:

Volde 🌈
2006-2024

Volde was my first reptile rescue. I was reached out to by old friends that had a neighbor whose children lit the poor girl on fire.
An incredible animal who survived some of the worst abuse. Just like Puff baby, she taught countless people the gentle nature of snakes, and how resilient they are, and not monsters even after some of the worse has been done to them.
I will miss her incredibly. I loved her incredibly. I already feel an emptiness as she’s been with me for almost 20 years.
Im so honored I got to share these years with her and share her with the world.

Volde passed away the morning of 8-30-24

Miss Lilly is back. Lilly is about 7 years old and such a sweet and gentle girl.

She’s a chonk of a leopard gecko and I love playing with the loose skin under her chin and cheeks😍 And look at all those spots!

This my friends is Muffin.
And we seriously die from cuteness with every breath, stretch and munch she takes. 🥹

She is a Russian tortoise, roughly 3 years old and absolutely precious. She deserves a home that adores her and gives her the proper home and space to thrive in.

What is Slithers and Crawls.

I do hands on, education and entertainment shows for schools, libraries, school enrichment classes, camps, private parties, community functions, and so much more!

Most of the animals are rescues themselves and help me spread the knowledge that they aren’t monsters, and what you “know” about them is wrong. And YES, reptiles need rescued too! I take in the abused, unwanted, injured and neglected reptile pets. Some stay with me and become apart of Slithers and Crawls, to help spread knowledge and respect to the public, And the rest, when healthy and thriving, are at Wrightwood’d Littlest Pet Shop waiting to be adopted.

Slithers and Crawls does not support breeding of any kind, and I do my best to make sure all my rescues and surrenders get the BEST second chance at life with the best forever family. A lot of people are uneducated, have little to no dedication and have a very Hollywood outlook on animals like snakes and spiders. Over %50 0f captive reptiles die within the first year of being brought home.

I have studied behaviors of our very own most venomous creatures, I have crawled under houses to safely relocate rattlesnakes, I have used my whole body to tackle big escaped lizards and have shed so many tears for who I can’t save. In everything I’ve done, every creature I’ve come across and worked with, they aren’t mean. They are AFRAID. And they have every right to be! They don’t know they are in the wrong place at the wrong time, they are trying to survive. As I told a child who called a gopher snake disgusting and kill it with fire, there are no mean snakes, just mean people.
