Update: Adoptions pending!

Howdy all!

We're back from NARBC Tinley!

And we're here with some cool as heck adoptables! A while back, we had three red Saharan Uromastyx up for adoption. We still have two, a male named Urie, and a female named Brandy.

What's cool about Uros?
They're herbivorous desert lizards. No need for bugs, just greens and the occasional lentil or two! These dudes like it HOT. Like, as hot as Jeff's taste in salsa. As in, a 110⁰ basking spot is a toasty spot to vibe for these guys.

Urie and Brandy have been with us a while now, and though they share space without showing any breeding behaviors, they don't need to be adopted together.

If you think one of these real-life Charmanders could fit your reptile room, shoot us a message or submit an application to adopt! SavingScalesMI.org

For 25 years, ever since I went to my first Tinley Park IL NARBC, I have dreamed to vend at this show. This weekend that dream is coming true!

We don’t have any animals with us but we will be fundraising through various methods.

Allright folks, we've got a favor to ask!

This upcoming Friday-Sunday, we'll be at NARBC Tinley Park, with our own booth!

What does this mean?

For anyone unfamiliar, NARBC is one of the largest reptile expos in the midwest! Seriously, if you haven't been, it's like a Walmart sized space full of reptiles, supplies, and the folks who love them!

So, what do we want from our amazing supporters?

If you've adopted from us, we're looking for pictures of Saving Scales alumni to be put on a slideshow to play in our booth for the whole weekend!

This obviously means any pictures submitted may be used, but we'd incredibly appreciative to any adopters who are willing to share pics of their adoptees from us!

Aurora (SS alumni) says thank you!

What’s in a name? Most of the time when an animal comes into the rescue, we keep the name that the owner gave them through the rescue program. Sure, sometimes we have to be creative if we have duplicates. We’ve had “Noodle”, “Twoodle”, and “Threedle” before, or Athena/Atwona/Athreena. But sometimes things come in as strays and we don’t have a name to start with. Want to help? Here are three stray intakes from the last couple weeks that could use a better moniker than TBD.
Extra points for creativity and food names!

Yes, we will be outside this year braving the weather! We are planning of having some snakes, geckos, lizards, tortoise, and of course Apollo with us! See you tomorrow!

Okay y'all! We've got good news. We've got great news. And, we've got amazing news.
1- We are already at 219 adoptions for the year. Our fantastic run on event adoptions has left us a bit light on enclosures for our last adoption event this Saturday, so we wont have quite as many as normal with us, but that's okay, we've still got some awesome ones to bring with us.
2- This year for Frankenfest Detroit we will be OUTSIDE the barracks. This means no one will have to pay the building entry fee to find us. Keep an eye out for our green tent, and Apollo roaming the grounds.
3- BESTEST NEWS! We were approved for another grant this year through the R.E. Olds Foundation, and we will be upgrading the last (and largest) of our hand built enclosures to professional grade ones through Cryptic Creations and Matrix ReptiRacks. We can't wait to order them!

Kate and Randi are at Punk Rock Flea Market at Kellogg Arena in Battle Creek today from 12-6. We only have one adoptable animal with us (Kalim the leopard gecko) but Apollo is here making friends and hoping to sell some swag.

Is someone missing something long, dark, thick and….scaley? This beauty was found in Monroe County. We are facilitating the stray hold, hoping an owner can be located. Let us know if this beauty is familiar. Ps- don’t hit us up with “I will take it”, we aren’t there yet, give the rightful owner a chance to claim.

It’s been a bit crazy around here the last couple weeks. But I think we are finally caught up on emails, applications and messages. If you are still waiting to hear from us, please reach out!

Along with all the craziness, we may have some big news coming at the end of the week. So stay tuned!
