Conservation & Education Reptile Rescue

Conservation & Education Reptile Rescue A safe haven for unwanted reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates, and large aquarium fish. We need your help.

Conservation & Education Reptile Rescue (CERR) is a nonprofit organization working out of Riverside Reptiles Education Center in Enfield, CT. CERR provides support for surrendered and confiscated animals housed at Riverside Reptiles by helping to offset the cost of care, including enclosures, food, veterinary, and utility expenses.

Check us out on Fox 61! Thank you so much @ Brendan Mackey TV for thinking of us 😊.

It’s not too late to buy a roach and name it after your ex (or anyone you want!). All the money goes towards our 501(c)3 Conservation & Education Reptile Rescue.

GIVING TUESDAY ❤️

This Giving Tuesday, we know times are tough and budgets are stretched thin, but even a small contribution can make a huge difference for animals in need.

Conservation & Education Reptile Rescue has received a record number of surrender requests this year, and the calls and emails for help just keep coming. Your support ensures that we can continue providing lifesaving care, proper habitats, medical treatment, and daily enrichment for animals who have nowhere else to go.

Every dollar goes directly toward the care and maintenance of rescued reptiles like “Cheese,” the Leopard Gecko, pictured below, one of many wonderful animals who rely on compassionate people like you.

If you’re able, please consider making a Giving Tuesday donation today. Your kindness truly changes lives.

Riverside Reptiles Education Center has a vast array of different species from around the world on exhibit. About 40 percent of the animals in our care came from rescue, surrender and confiscation situations. Steven is one of our many rescue animals at RREC. He is a male Eastern Spiny Soft Shell turtle (Apalone Spinifera) found throughout parts of the eastern and central United States. While males of his species are smaller than females, Steven is known to splash in his enclosure when guests walk by looking for food (though he is very well fed). If you’d like to sponsor Steven or any of our other rescue animals, click the link below for more of Steven’s story and the opportunity to contribute to his care and feeding!
