4 babies went to the vet today!
Ruby, the Eastern Box Turtle with the injured leg, no longer has to wear a splint!!! We are so happy she is healing so much better than we ever expected 🥰 Her wound is still healing but she doesn’t need any bandages, just keeping it clean at this point!
Lamillion, the older Veiled Chameleon, is in better shape than we expected as well! He is old, like we assumed, and has suffered from broken bones and a burn at some point during his life. But all of those wounds are healed up at and all we need to really focus on is getting him to gain weight and making sure he is getting plenty of calcium and UVB to help those bones!
Carmi, the Bearded Dragon, is in nearly perfect health! The vet had no concerns which is awesome ❤️
Celia, the young Veiled Chameleon, came to us with what was believed to be some egg-laying issues. We are happy that the X-rays showed no signs of eggs, just a lower bone density. She will get some extra calcium and UVB and hopefully, she will be feeling better in no time 🥰
Pirate
Yesterday, we were able to get this little one, named Pirate, into the vet. This is a video taken right before heading to the vet. As you can see they are quite lethargic and one eye is completely shut. The vet was able to open the eye and confirm there is a healthy eye under there! Pirate will be on antibiotic eye drops and has a recheck in 10 days. We are very hopeful as Pirate is continuing to eat as much as they can and has healthy bowel movements!
We love getting updates on previous residents 😊 Crush is doing well at his new home and has even started eating his greens!
Just some cuties for your feed 😊
The winning names for these two are Leroy and Jenkins 🐢 Thanks to all who participated ❤️
After a solid workout, Brownie sticks the landing 💪🏽
Our newest rescues need names 🐢
We will be holding a raffle drawing to pick their names!

You can also donate directly to this post and send us a message with the names of your choice! Submissions end at Midnight on July 13th and names will be drawn the following day.

These two boys are both around 10 years old and have been together their entire lives! One is a Yellow-Bellied Slider and the other is a Red Eared Slider. They will be available for adoption soon ❤️
*Any names that are entered without a donation will not be put into the raffle*
Dexter The Leopard Gecko
Unfortunately, over the past few days Dexter has been declining. Though he is still accepting his syringe feedings, his weight has been decreasing and he has been acting more lethargic than usual.
We will be taking him to get more testing done this week. At this point, blood work, x-rays, and other specific tests will most likely need run, along with possible hospitalization, which will result in hundreds of dollars worth of vet bills.
We are optimistic that he can pull through as we have seen improvement over his time with us ❤️
If you are able to make even a $5 donation towards his care, it would be so, so appreciated. He is such a sweet boy and truly deserves every chance we can give him.

Everyone meet Jane, the young Bearded Dragon ❤️😊
She is such a sweety with a strong passion for food. Jane was taken in from a family that could no longer care for her. She was kept on red sand so her feet aren’t typically this red, but she should shed it off soon! We are excited to have her and can’t wait to find her a forever home!
