We rescue and care for exotic animals and educate the public about all animals of all kinds. We are about caring for animals of all kinds and all animal families - insects, fish, birds, arachnids, arthropods, amphibians, reptiles, and small mammals. We take these amazing creatures in when they are unwanted, we rescue them when the RCMP or the Department of Fish & Wildli

fe call us. care, the specialized food they need, the right kind of shelter, and stimulus. We care for them for the rest of their natural lives - some of our animals live over 100 years. We teach thousands of kids and adults each year about animals and the natural world. We do this in schools of all levels, libraries, festivals, daycares, senior homes, private homes etc. We also provide a wide variety of learning experiences at our rescue facility with tours of our animals, Nature Clubs for kids, Junior Zoo Keeping courses for teens, Adult Career Training courses, Summer Camps, Spring Break Camps, and volunteer opportunities for teens and adults. We give back to the community by supporting organizations such as BC Children's Hospital, Variety Club, Canuck Place and more. We take our animals to these kids who need an adventure, some stimulus, a chance to learn about animals of all kinds. We do this for kids in need and we do it for the warmth it adds to our lives. We do all these things with the help of dedicated volunteers, knowledgeable and experienced staff and our dedicated Board of Directors - and we do it every day of the year.

Ball Pythons are an easy going non-venomous constrictor snake and are a really common snake pet that people get. They are native to regions of western and central Africa. It is the one of the most frequent requests for surrender to Urban Safari. We cannot take any more at the moment. They truly are a lovely snake and can make a good pet if you know what you are doing and are committed to the animal for the rest of its life. They can live 15 to 30 years in captivity - in many cases much longer than a dog. This species is well known for its incredible genetic diversity; part of their current popularity is due to a fad for producing “morphs”: variations in color and pattern. Many experienced hobbyists take on ball python breeding as a study in snake genetics. Because of this trend, the market is currently saturated with snakes who didn’t make the cut for the next generation. They are very popular in the pet trade and are often sold as beginner pets due to their docile temperaments and manageable size. Although ball python care isn’t necessarily “easy”, they are hardy. If you are considering a Ball Python as a pet consider adopting rather than buying one. Or come and talk to us about adoption, care etc. Know all the facts and care needs and time commitment before taking on any animals as a pet.

Do you need a bigger tank for your fish, lizard, snake or other reptile? Urban Safari Rescue has piles of good used tanks. We will let them go for about $1 per gallon. Come and have a look or let us know what size you want. Give us the inches or feet please - not the gallon size. But it may be better to come have a look for yourself. We also have water dishes, hides, travel carriers, light fixtures and other stuff.
