So apparently even though I have all the settings set for the public to be able to post on this page it seems that Facebook is not allowing it. Might be something new.  So I think I have a fix, on the first of every month I will pin a post for the month so that people can comment on that thread with Critters they are looking to rehome. That should help you connect with any possible adopters. In the past we also did not allow animals for sale on this page but do not have a problem with a small rehoming fee since we are not available anymore to vet potential adopters. So let’s consider this post the start of September where you can comment below your critter you need to rehome. In November I will start a new thread.

These are the last babies that need a new forever home. (See two other separate posts.)They have definitely been spoiled with large habitats. We cannot provide the habitat as ours were custom built into a building but can provide some supplies. DM for more information. We will need to see the habitat you will be providing and then we will go from there. All eat frozen/thawed.

This Boa Constrictor is about 8 feet long and will need some space. Guessing about 15-20 years old. 

Solid eater every 7-10 days,  except while shedding of course.

Update: He has moved into his new forever home.

This guy, we think he’s a guy, is an old man, at least 25 years old. About 4 feet long and super gentle.

First off is this super sweet Ball Python. She, we think she’s a she, is about 4 feet long and at least 15 years old.

If you couldn’t make the reptile supply sale last weekend, we are bringing some of the stuff that’s left to our regular garage sale tomorrow and this is what’s left. Everything left will be marked down a lot!

For over 30 years, Las Vegas Reptile Rescue has always been a labor of love. I would wake up each morning and go out to the “barn” and tend to the needs the animals. Checking temps, cleaning p**p, etc…Until about 10 years ago we typically had 20-40 critters at all times.

A few years back, I turned 60 and realized all good things must end. . I don’t want to be 80 years old cleaning up the p**p of a 12 foot Python. Add to that, we'd like to retire soon. You see, Reptile Rescue was funded completely by my wife and I and we never requested funds so rarely received any financial help when picking up a surrender.

So, with our retirement in arms reach, it appears time for Reptile Rescue Las Vegas to close its doors and allow my wife and I a much needed rest. We are proud of the impact we have made in the lives of the reptiles and are down to our last 3 that will need new forever homes.

That said, we are also in the process of moving and doubt the new homeowner is going to have a use for a reptile “barn” that once held snakes, lizards, and other homeless reptiles. So we are gutting it. Each of those cages had radiant heat panels, UV lighting and decor for each reptiles individual needs. Rather than let them just go to waste, Sunday July 21 and Monday July 22 from 12 noon to 5pm we are having a kind of garage sale for critter supplies. Super cheap as everything must go. Cash only please. We are still organizing but here are a few pics. Check back here Saturday night for the address and please do not show up before or after those times.

Also, remember I mentioned we still have 3 snakes? Well, if you are looking to adopt an adult ball python or one large, 7- foot long boa constrictor you can meet them when you come here. We would need you to bring a photo of the habitat you would be putting them in, the larger the better always fares well with us. They have been spoiled here with large habitats. If you can’t make it here you’re welcome to message a photo and then after the sale is over we will decide who will receive the snakes. We will deliver them to you to be sure they are going into the habitat you say they are going into.

This Reptile Rescue page will remain up so that people looking to re-home their critters can hopefully connect with someone who would like to adopt it. We have never allowed animals for sale on this page but we will allow you to ask for reasonable rehoming fees since we will not be able to vet possible adopters.

A friend of ours has found a Nevada desert tortoise in the middle of the street near Russell and Sand Hill. Looks like it just came out of hibernation so possibly escaped sometime last fall but of course also possible he just escaped when he woke up or maybe he came out of hibernation on the other side of a wall. Please message us to identify if you think it may be yours. We are checking lost and found pages now as well.

This red ear slider is looking for a new home. It looks like it could use a larger habitat or a pond.

Who is your favorite reptile vet here in Vegas? We get asked quite a bit but not sure who else is around other parts of town.

True story! We received a message last month from someone whose mother was freaking out because she found a little baby green iguana in her Christmas tree that she bought from star nursery! He/she seems to be doing OK so it's ready for a new forever home. We have a tank that you can have and some supplies. It's very skittish, so it will need some patience but that also doesn't guarantee that it will ever be super friendly. Please DM us for details.

Little bit of an emergency. Have someone losing their place and she can’t take her animals with her. PM us for the number if you’re interested. 5 1/2 foot boa constrictor and 4 year old bearded dragon. I’ve been having a hard time finding a home as they are not to handleable and need some TLC.

Update:
Thank you everyone for the overwhelming response! They have been found a home. I will be coming back to this thread though and bugging you when more need new homes.
