🐍 Monty is Looking for His Forever Home! 🐍

Meet Monty, a handsome adult Ball Python who is searching for a loving forever family! We believe Monty is approximately 3 years old, although we cannot verify his exact age.

Monty is everything people love about Ball Pythons—calm, easygoing, and incredibly easy to handle. He has a fantastic feeding response, eats consistently, and has been a joy to care for. In the time we’ve had him, he has never struck defensively and has proven himself to be a gentle, curious snake with a wonderful temperament.

Monty is currently accustomed to living in a rack system, but he would do wonderfully in a well-designed enclosure. A 40-gallon breeder enclosure or larger with plenty of hides, clutter, and ground cover would allow him to feel secure while displaying more natural behaviors.

Monty is healthy, thriving, and ready to find a family that will love and appreciate him for years to come. Whether you’re an experienced keeper or someone looking to welcome your first Ball Python, Monty is the kind of snake that quickly wins people over.

As with all of our animals, an adoption fee applies. Adoption fees directly support the ongoing care of the reptiles and exotic animals at Hernando Reptile & Exotics Rescue, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, helping us continue our mission of rescue, rehabilitation, and responsible rehoming.

If you think Monty might be the perfect addition to your family, we’d love to hear from you! Please send us a message and tell us a little about the home you can provide.

Let’s find this sweet boy the forever home he deserves. ❤️🐍

🐢 AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION – TORTELLINI 🐢

Meet Tortellini, a handsome adult Hermanns tortoise looking for a loving forever home! While we are unsure of his exact age, we do know that he is healthy, active, and thriving.

Tortellini is a fantastic eater who never misses a meal, and he has a wonderfully personable personality that makes him a joy to care for. He enjoys exploring his surroundings, greeting his caregivers, and showing off the curious nature that Hermann’s tortoises are known for.

As with all of our animals, we are committed to finding the best possible home where Tortellini will be loved and properly cared for for the rest of his life. Hermann’s tortoises can live for many decades, so prospective adopters should be prepared for a long-term commitment.

An adoption fee applies, which helps support the ongoing care of the rescued reptiles and exotic animals at Hernando Reptile & Exotics Rescue.

If you think Tortellini might be the perfect addition to your family, please send us a message to learn more about our adoption process.

❤️ Every adoption helps us continue our mission of rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming reptiles in need.

☀️ Meet Sunny a beautiful (likely Murphy’s Patternless or Blizzard) 6y/o female leopard gecko.
🌞Sunny enjoys spending her days lounging about her enclosure and most of her nights out exploring and climbing around, or catching the crickets if it’s feeding night. She is a great hunter (although slightly clumsy!)
⛅️ If you are interested in providing a sun-shining home for Sunny or just want to learn some more about her, then please send us a pm!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the incredible reptile moms out there—whether your “kids” have scales, shells, tails, or a serious attitude problem when it’s feeding time. 💚🐍🦎🐢

Today we’re celebrating the women who lovingly clean enclosures, obsess over temperatures and humidity, worry over every skipped meal, hand-mist habitats like pros, and somehow still find themselves saying, “I’m not getting any more reptiles”… right before bringing home another one. 😅

A very special Happy Mother’s Day to the amazing adopters who opened their hearts and homes to rescued reptiles and exotics. Choosing to adopt an animal that may need extra patience, medical care, trust-building, or a fresh start takes a truly special kind of person. Your compassion changes lives.

Thank you for loving the misunderstood, the surrendered, the overlooked, and the ones that needed a second chance. Whether you’re a reptile mom by biology, by rescue, by adoption, or simply by the enormous amount of crickets in your house—we see you, and we appreciate you. 🖤

Drop a photo of your scaly babies in the comments so we can celebrate them with you! 📸🐍✨

We want to make a quick post because we have been receiving an overwhelming number of messages asking us to take in animals.

Please understand that we are a completely volunteer-run rescue. We do not have a storefront, shelter facility, paid staff, or regular funding. All of our animals are cared for in private homes by volunteers who also work full-time jobs outside of rescue.

Right now, we are completely full and are struggling financially due to a major lack of donations coming in. Because of this, we are unable to accept ANY animals at this time — including owner surrenders, found animals, abandoned animals, or emergency placements. As heartbreaking as it is, we cannot responsibly take on more animals than we have the space or resources to properly care for.

We also cannot assist with sick or injured animals requiring veterinary care. For sick or injured exotic pets, we recommend Dr. Maldonado at Animal Care Center of Pasco County in New Port Richey: (727) 376-7600. For injured wildlife, please TEXT Owls Nest Wildlife at (813) 598-5926 with a photo and description of the situation.

We also want everyone to know that we truly do our best to check all messages, comments, and posts. Unfortunately, we receive an overwhelming number every single day, and we simply cannot always respond to everyone. We feel terrible about it, but please know we are trying our best while caring for the animals already depending on us.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and support. ❤️
