Now that Porkchop is finally eating normally, he was eligible for an upgrade!

Porkchop's journey has been full of ups, downs and uncertainty, but after nearly a year, he is now 100% ready to find his forever home.

His new bachelor pad is an example of the standard of care we expect potential homes to provide.

We don't necessarily require new homes to set up bioactive enclosures, but UVB lighting, overhead heating, natural substrates, and lots of things to climb and hide around are non-negotiable!

The Uromastyx care guide is now ✨️finally✨️ live!

All care guides are also being tweaked to remove irrelevant information and more unsafe products to avoid are being added.

Here you'll find care guides for various reptile species. These guides will primarily cover animals that the Loving Leos Reptile Rescue is knowledgeable on.

Señor Provolone has been kept as peaceful as possible while he heals. He's a super skittish guy, and now that he's feeling better, he bolts at any loud sounds or sudden movements.

Hopefully with time he'll calm down, but as with some leos, he may just end up being a reclusive gentleman.

The abscess scar on his face does not cause him any problems, and he sheds around that area well 🙏

Tuna's weight gain is back on track!

His PCR tests have all come back clean, and his tummy bug treatment seems to have really helped.

He is up 32g from his intake weight of 23g 🙌💚

🛑PLEASE SIGN AND SHARE🛑

Data centers are cropping up everywhere, despite mass public outcry over the very real environmental threats these facilities create.

The Nashville Zoo is very near and dear to us, and helped foster our love of reptiles, wildlife and conservation.

Putting a hyperscale data center next to an organization that has put decades of work into animal education, preservation and caretaking would be detrimental.

Fawn had another nice clean shed the other day 💚

Her nose seems to be opening up a little more, so hopefully she'll be breathing better with a few more sheds.

We're having some difficulty getting her to take frozen/thawed feeders unfortunately, but this should be the last little hurdle for her.

Panini and Peanut had their ophthalmologist appointments today with Dr. Bret Moore at The Eye Vets 🙏

Panini's tarsorrhaphy procedure from several months ago seemed to be pretty successful for the left eye; the corneal edema is greatly reduced. The right eye unfortunately went right back to bulging out, so we're going to explore a few more options.

One of these routes may end up being an expensive procedure, so if and when we get an estimate and decide to give it a try, we'll share more details and start a fundraiser.

For Peanut, no other treatment was necessary 🙌

She does have damage from some sort of trauma from being tossed around by a tornado that hit the pet store she was in.

Her vision is impaired in the left eye, but she responds very well to stimuli in the right.

Peanut needs another f***l, her eyes need more time to clear up, and she needs to gain a bit more weight, but she is nearly ready to go home.

Tiny Peanut has also already been spoken for!
