Meet Chiquita—the name YOU chose for our newest reptile friend! 🐍🍌 Coming in second place was Banana, and tied for third were Trek and Trillion. A huge thank you to everyone who voted and a special shoutout to our new followers who joined us after hearing Chiquita's story! 💚

We’ve been getting a lot of questions about why Chiquita won’t be released back into their native range and stay with us at RRS Oasis. Stay tuned—we’ll be posting a video on Tuesday to answer this very question, with some special scaly guest appearances!

Did you know that we have already worked on multiple cases this year similar to our new hitchhiker friend?!

RRS works with law enforcement agencies locally, statewide, nationally, and internationally on cases just like this one. Some of the few include illegally owned pets that were confiscated, neglected or abused, or unwanted pets.

Your support goes a long way! It doesn't matter if if you book your next birthday or support our sanctuary through donating. Every little bit helps animals just like our newest resident, the Ornate Cat Eye Snake 🐍🐍

An employee at Market Basket in Manchester found the ornate cat-eyed snake inside a shipment. The snake is now being handled by rescue organizations.

A mildly venomous snake was found in a shipment of bananas at a Market Basket location in New Hampshire.

🐍 Surprise in the Produce Aisle! 🍌

Check out this wild story from NH Fish and Game! A grocery store in southern NH got more than just bananas in their shipment- a Cat Eyed Snake from Central and South America!

🙏 A Huge Thank You to the NH Fish and Game Law Enforcement Division for ensuring a smooth and quick transition for our newest animal resident!

🐍 Did you know? RRS Oasis and Rainforest Reptile Shows care for over 60 venomous reptiles—including cobras, rattlesnakes, taipans, vipers, and more! Every single one comes from situations like this, rescued with the help of law enforcement. Many were illegally owned pets, neglected, or kept in poor conditions. Through dedicated care, we work to rehabilitate and improve their health, giving them the best life possible. Some remain with us for life, while others find homes in accredited zoos and aquariums where they help educate people about the natural world.

The Cat-eyed Snake that arrived today is a specialized species from Panama, Ecuador, and Colombia that primarily feeds on amphibians and lizards. As a nocturnal species, its care requires extra expertise and attention. Right now, it's in a temporary habitat, but to give it the best life possible, we need your support!

💚 If you'd like to help this little hitchhiker, please consider donating to RRS Oasis to support the creation of a naturalistic habitat and provide specialized food. Every contribution makes a difference! Donate here: https://www.rainforestreptileshows.com/support-oasis

📸 Stay tuned! We'll be posting photos of our new friend tomorrow!
