Introducing Our Newest Permanent Resident ; Scary Terry. Poor guy is missing every single one of his Little fingers and toes 😞 but he's still super friendly and loves to come out and explore the room.

Our most recent Rescue intake is a Blue Tongue Skink that came to us with an enclosure full of literal dirt that is so dusty. Cleaning it out is literally making my skin itch. 🤢 this is why it is so important to do your research when getting pets to give them the best life possible and make sure you can afford to properly care for them. Pets are cute and fun to have but they are a life commitment that sometimes require a little more than the basics and that could be expensive.

One of our newest intakes is a Blue Tongue Skink that came to us with bare minimum of a heat lamp and a log hut in its enclosure and missing every single toe on all four feet 😔🐾 otherwise seems to be healthy and a bit of a chonker

Running a non-profit reptile rescue is very different from operating a pet store, breeder, or animal dealer. Our mission is to provide a safe place for reptiles that have been abandoned, neglected, surrendered, or can no longer be cared for by their owners. Every animal that enters our care requires housing, heating, lighting, food, veterinary care, cleaning supplies, and countless hours of volunteer time.
As a non-profit organization, all donations and available funds are directed toward the care and rehabilitation of the reptiles already in our program. Because of these ongoing expenses, we are not financially able to purchase reptiles from individuals seeking to surrender them.
When a rescue purchases animals, it diverts limited resources away from the animals already depending on that rescue for care. Accepting surrendered reptiles is intended to provide a responsible alternative for owners who can no longer keep their pets, not to create a marketplace for animal sales.
We understand that many reptiles have significant monetary value, and owners are welcome to sell their animals privately if they wish to recover some of their investment. However, if you are seeking to surrender a reptile to our rescue, please understand that we cannot buy the animal. Our focus is, and always will be, on providing care, rehabilitation, and responsible placement for reptiles in need.
We appreciate the understanding and support of our community, as every dollar saved helps us provide food, medical care, proper housing, and a second chance for the reptiles entrusted to us.

We've added an Amazon wishlist for anyone who would like to donate to our cause, Thank you so much for wanting to support The Reptile Room. I truly appreciate the kindness and generosity more than you know. Please don’t feel like you need to purchase anything brand-new though — I would never expect that from anyone. Gently used reptile accessories, enclosures, hides, lighting, décor, or supplies are always incredibly helpful and can make a huge difference for the animals we rescue. Your support in any form means the world to us and the reptiles in our care. ❤️ We are a NON PROFIT ORGANIZATION
