Welcome a Unique Companion

Process

Every decision we make is in the best interest of the reptiles in our care, ensuring they have the best chance of finding a permanent, safe habitat. While you may be drawn to the appearance of a specific reptile, it’s important to remember that their personality and needs must align with your environment and lifestyle. Just like with reptiles, every creature has unique behaviors and preferences.

Therefore, it’s crucial to understand two things:
(1) Our process is consistent for all, ensuring fairness and thoroughness, and
(2) Our goal is not to frustrate you, but to find the best fit for both you and the reptile.

With a high success rate in rehoming reptiles, we take great pride in our program’s standards. Our ultimate priority is securing a happy, thriving future for every reptile in our care.

Once you’ve submitted your online adoption application, one of our team members will reach out to you ONLY IF YOU ARE APPROVED to meet the reptile you’ve applied for. We will contact you as soon as possible if we believe the reptile is a good match for your home and environment. Our goal is to ensure a perfect match, so patience is appreciated as we carefully assess each fit.

Available Adoptions

All adoptions must be local pick-up only. We do NOT ship our adoptions out

Meet BellaBall – $50

BellaBall is an 8-year-old female ball python with a gentle, shy temperament. She is still learning to trust people, so she needs an owner who can approach her with calmness and patience. BellaBall would thrive in a home with someone who understands the importance of building trust over time. She requires a 4x2x2 enclosure to feel comfortable. BellaBall has shown no signs of aggression—no biting or striking. Instead, she is a cautious, timid snake who simply needs the right person to help her feel secure. Could you be the special human to offer BellaBall the love and care she deserves?


Meet Puck – $50

Puck was hit by a car, skidding across the road like a hockey puck. Puck is a full-grown male yellow-bellied slider, and we suspect he may have been a pet that was abandoned. When we first found him, he was severely dehydrated and had road rash, but he’s come a long way since then. After about five months together, he’s become very comfortable. He eagerly eats anything offered and loves lounging on his rock to bask. He’s truly a beautiful turtle who is just looking for his forever home. Can that be you?


Meet Fiji – $50

Fiji is a 3-year-old female iguana who was sadly found abandoned on the streets of New Britain. When she arrived, she was frightened and had a broken tail, which has since been amputated. She’s healing wonderfully and has developed into a friendly, active iguana who loves to munch on her greens. Fiji would thrive in a home with older children who can give her the care and attention she needs. Could Fiji be the perfect addition to your family?


Meet King Stephen – $50

King Stephen is a 3-and-a-half-year-old male crocodile gecko who was rescued from an animal hoarding situation. While he’s naturally a bit shy, he’s gradually becoming more comfortable with human interaction. King Stephen would thrive with an owner who understands crocodile gecko behavior and is patient enough to work with him. He has dropped his tail a few times but has successfully regrown it each time. Could you provide a safe, loving home where this sweet boy can feel secure and truly thrive?


Meet Maximus – $50

Maximus is a 2-and-a-half-year-old male Green Iguana (Orange morph) who is still adjusting to handling but will warm up with patience and time. He’s in the process of gaining weight and would thrive in a home with someone who understands proper iguana care. Maximus would do best in a household without young children, where he can receive the attention and care he needs. He would love free roaming in a room at least 2x a week. If Maximus sounds like the perfect fit for your home, apply today!
