UPDATE: ADOPTED

Lamillion is looking for his retirement home 🥰

Lamillion is a senior, male Veiled Chameleon. Lamillion is an older gentleman, approximately 4 years old, that is looking for a relaxing retirement home. He is looking for a home that is extremely low stress and understands that he is looking for someone to love him for the remaining time he has left. He is an amazing eater and can stand to gain some weight. He was, unfortunately, passed from home to home throughout his life, which has left him a bit thin, with various scars on his body, and MBD.

The veterinarian has given him a clean bill of health and we are ready to find him a home that can tend to his needs!

If you are interested in adopting Lamillion, please visit https://www.tippeexoticrescue.com/available-animals

Mony is off to his forever home and we are so happy for him ❤️

He was such a sweet little guy to have around 🥰

14/09/2020

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 🥰

13/09/2020

Welcome Carmi ❤️

Carmi is an adult male Bearded Dragon who is such a cutie! He had a rough start to life, but luckily a kind family took him in and eventually he made it to us 😊 He has a vet appointment tomorrow to make sure he is a healthy boy! We are so happy to have him!

Luna is the cutest nugget ❤️

Mony doin’ a hide 🦎 He says where are my nummies?!

07/09/2020

Say hello to Luna ❤️

Luna is a female Ball Python that was surrendered because she refused to eat for over 4 months! After two weeks with us, we were able to get her to eat on her own 😊 The vet believes she is healthy, just going through a phase if you know ball pythons 😂 Once we are certain she will continue to eat, she will be available for adoption!

05/09/2020

Welcome Lamillion! Can we talk about how handsome he is? 😍

He is a senior, male Veiled Chameleon that was passed around from home to home his entire life so we are hoping to give him some stability! He is an older guy that is also suffering from Metabolic Bone Disease. Lamill has a vet appointment this week, so we are hopeful to get him feeling a bit better soon ❤️

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!

Just some cuties for your feed 😊

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. To donate, please follow the links below or message us for an address for cash and checks. Paypal.me/TippeExoticRescue Venmo.com/TippeExoticRescue We really appreciate any help and we will be back with an update after his appointment.

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! To donate to Jane’s vet costs and care, please donate to: Paypal.me/TippeExoticRescue Venmo.com/TippeExoticRescue Or visit our Amazon Wishlist at: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/WLQUL655UXDJ?ref_=wl_share

It’s the moment you have been waiting for! Drumroll please.... Our little guy’s name will be DEXTER 😊🦎 Thank you so much to everyone who donated to put their name suggestion into the raffle ❤️ Stay tuned for tomorrow’s update on his veterinary exam!

Yoshi is settling in well here at Tippecanoe Exotic Animal Rescue and Sanctuary. He is opening up to us and even eating out of our hands! ❤️ Chinese Water Dragons are beautiful reptiles that are native to China and Southeast Asia. Though they can be skittish little guys, once they bond with humans, they are very calm and love hanging out. They grow to be 2-3 feet long, depending on gender. And of course, with a name like “water dragon”, you guessed it, they LOVE water and can even hold their breath for up to 25 minutes while swimming! Chinese Water Dragons are not for beginners, as they require quite a bit of time and effort in order to provide the proper husbandry needs. Because they grow to be quite large, their enclosure must reflect that. Enclosures should be a MINIMUM of 4 feet long, 3 feet deep, and 4 feet tall, however, bigger is always better! As they are semi-arboreal, meaning they spend a decent amount of time off of the ground, their enclosure should contain various perches, branches, and ledges for them to have access to different levels. Of course, foliage is a great addition to provide them with cover and security. Being from Southeast Asia, they need higher temperatures and humidity. A good basking area will reach 100 degrees, and an ambient temperature of 80-85 on the warm side dropping to 72-80 on the cool side of the enclosure is needed. UVB light is also a requirement, as it helps them properly digest calcium to maintain proper bone density and without they can become very ill. Humidity levels should be kept at a minimum of 70%, with a higher spike of 80%-90% a few times throughout the day. Humidity levels can be obtained by misting the enclosure a few times throughout the day or with a humidifier. A good way to keep humidity levels up is to use a reptile soil, such as EcoEarth, along with sphagnum moss as a substrate for the enclosure. Being water dragons, they also need a fresh supply of water. A large water dish that allows for the dragon to

Full belly = lizard lip smacks 😊 We are happy to announce that Nessie is going to be moving out of her quarantine tank and into a bigger, better enclosure for the remainder of her stay with us! She will be returning to the vet next week for another exam and round of medication, and we are hoping for the best! We are still working on slow and steady weight gain and fighting to get rid of her parasites, but she is showing great signs and making amazing progress ❤️ Also, stay tuned for an exciting announcement tomorrow evening and thank you for your support!
