Meet Garnet the common boa! Currently Garnet is our largest animal at 6+ feet long! 

She is continuing her life as an ambassador animal and comes to us from Reptile Corner where she was also an ambassador animal!

Baby 

Argentine Black and White Tegu (Salvator Merianae)

At only 3 years old, Baby is still young considering tegus can live 20 years or more in captivity!. However don't let the name and age fool you! Baby is already nearly 4 feet long!

Sage

Ball Python (Python regius) 

Although Sage is another commonly kept pet, she still stuns people with her impressive size of 4 feet! She thankfully, to our knowledge, was just a rehome as her previous owner wanted to give her to someone who could spend more time with her! She is yet another great example of a reptile that is a total sweetheart! Whether wrapped up on your arm like a cool bracelet

Arthur

European Legless Lizard (Pseudopus apodus)

A legless lizard?! Isn’t that just a snake? Well not quite! Nature can get a little confusing we know. 

Arthur is a great example to show that not all reptiles want to be your friend. At an impressive 3+ feet long and over 12 years old he is a little grumpy but still has a ton of value in the educational realm!

All things considered we still love an ad

Cash

Bearded Dragon (Pogona Vitticeps)

Despite being 3 years old and already having to need emergency surgery due to getting egg bound, Cash is still one of the sweetest animals you'll ever meet! She is a typical bearded dragon with her super docile personality, she would love to say hi and soak up some sunlight while sitting on your shoulder!  

Griz

Bearded Dragon (Pogona vitticeps)

Just like Cash, Griz is a bearded dragon! Griz comes to us as a rescue and is a perfect example that rescue babies are just as sweet! Despite living in a neglectful situation for most of his life, he is still a super sweet boy but with a side of craziness when he gets the zoomies!
