Abby Ballard

A 23-year-old navigating this crazy thing we call life. At Wolfe's Exotic Encounters, I play a crucial role in sharing the joy reptiles bring. Despite my shy disposition, my love for reptiles drives me to share their magic with others. 

Garnet the Common Boa (Boa Imperator)

Meet Garnet, our largest animal at 6+ feet long! But don't let her big size scare you, Garnet would love nothing more than just to be held and be able to explore her surroundings, wowing everyone as she goes!

Sage the 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 bra

Arthur the 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 

Cash the Bearded Dragon (Pogona Vitticeps)

Despite being 5 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 the 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!  

Venus

Red Uromastyx (Uromastyx Geyri)

Venus is another one of our many rescues here at Wolfe's Exotic Encounters. Adopted from a rescue, we don't know a lot about her background, the only thing we know is that she is around 4 years old. Although she can be very anxious, once she's in good hands she easily calms down!
