Rocky is heading back to the vet tomorrow ❤️‍🩹
Ever since he came back to us, he just hasn’t been the same, and we’d like to send some blood out for testing, for organ function insight. He’s currently in great care with his original foster, who he is very comfortable with. Anticipating a blood draw tomorrow, we should have more answers the following business week. 💚

Formally introducing….. Bingus.
Bingus is a Kenyan sand boa that we picked up during our most recent rescue & transport. Now that Bingus has eaten and settled into stability, he’s SUCH a goofy little guy. Truly has earned the name Bingus.
He’s a young lad, approx a year or less, and has much growing to do. He is not up for adoption yet, as he’s in new intake quarantine. Eventually, though, Bingus will be ready to take applications.

🎃🐢 Updated Niblet’s Pumpkin Patch from the weekend! 🐢🎃8 out of 25 pumpkins were sponsored for Niblet’s rehabilitation care.🎃

This little Niblet needs your help, and we’re inviting YOU to pick a pumpkin for a good cause! 🧡

Following Niblet’s recent specialist appointment, we’re facing a $524 veterinary bill, in addition to his ongoing medical and rehabilitation care.

So, in the spirit of fall, we’re turning our pumpkin patch into a fundraiser for this very special little tortoise! 🎃

HERE’S HOW IT WORKS:

🎃 Pick any available pumpkin from our patch! Pumpkins range from $10–$30.

🐢 Donate the amount written on your chosen pumpkin.

🧡 We’ll write YOUR name on that pumpkin to recognize your contribution to Niblet’s care!

As pumpkins are sponsored, we’ll update our patch so everyone can watch it fill with the names of the wonderful people helping Niblet along his rehabilitation journey.

Every pumpkin sponsored brings us a little closer to covering his veterinary expenses. We’d just like to knock even a portion of it out, in the fall spirit .

🎃 READY TO PICK YOUR PUMPKIN?

Can’t sponsor a pumpkin? Donations of ANY amount are appreciated, and sharing his little pumpkin patch helps spread the word!

We share a lot about the animals we rescue, but not nearly enough about the people making it possible.

Did you know our entire nonprofit is run by volunteers?

From our 3 founding board members to our 16 incredible fosters, everyone dedicates their time to helping animals without expecting a single thing in return. Usually, we get animal hisses and bites as thank-yous 😆

We work regular jobs, spend our days off attending events, coordinate veterinary care, manage adoptions, organizing fundraisers, and handle everything else that comes with running an animal rescue.

Wild Exotics began in 2021 and officially became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2024. We’ve grown so much since then, thanks to the generosity of our community, fellow rescues, veterinarians, and small businesses.

Our hope is to one day be able to compensate the people who dedicate so much of their lives to this mission. Animal rescue is hard work, and we believe the people doing it deserve to earn a living, too.

Until then, until far in the future, we’re just a group of passionate volunteers doing our best for the animals who need us. And that ‘best’ is usually 20-40 dedicated volunteer hours a week, depending on the person.

We believe insight matters, and we want our supporters to know the people and hard work behind this organization.

None of this would be possible without you. Every donation, every share, and every bit of support helps us keep going. Seriously, being 100% donor ran, means that you guys personally fund this rescue, to be able to keep it running.

Thank you for seeing us. We see you, too. 💚

Slip is *so tiny*. Slip is the leopard gecko that volunteers Emily & Viki worked together to transport and intake. He was kept with other leopard geckos, is regrowing his tail for the second time, and is the tiniest little guy. Slip is also young, which contributes to his size.
He’s definitely been using so much strength to regrow his tail and is just so tired. We have him on Oxbow Animal Health carnivore critical care and additional supplementation, alongside anything his foster can get him to eat.
Slip is in good hands, and we’re happy to have him here.
* To donate to Slip’s rehab care:

Behind every rescued animal is a never ending need for food, cleaning supplies, enrichment, and everyday essentials. While these items may not seem exciting, they’re what keep our rescue running and our animals happy, healthy, and comfortable!

Our Amazon Wishlist is filled with items we use regularly, at a variety of price points. Whether it’s a pack of paper towels or a new enrichment toy, every contribution makes a difference.

🐾 Want to lend a helping hand? Browse our wishlist and send a little love to the animals in our care!

Adopt Chik’n!

Did someone order ice cream? No? That’s weird, because we have a sassy swirl tail being served up. Chik’n makes it herself. 😉
Chikn is an independent girl with a big personality. Her favorite pastime is keeping tabs on the neighborhood. She loves finding the perfect place to watch everything happening around her.

Chikn has very strong opinions about personal space. She does not like to be held and when she decides she doesnt want to be touched, youll quickly discover just how FAST a leopard gecko can move.

Chikn would be a great match for someone who appreciates a gecko who is more of a look, love, and laugh at my antics companion than a hands-on pet. Shes quirky, entertaining, curious, and guaranteed to keep you laughing.

Adopt Henrietta!
📍 Ocean County, NJ.
🔗 wearsaves.org ➡️ adopt
Henrietta is a 35 year old ball python. She came to us, as her previous caretaker had fallen into health issues, leaving them struggling to care for her. At a strong and healthy 35 years old, Henrietta loves to relax, curl up into her hides, and enjoy the warmth.
She’d be happy to be held, as long as you’re also willing to relax with her.
Henrietta can still have many years ahead of her, and looks forward to spending them in warmth with you!
She’s a great eater, and will eat from tongs, or eat if you leave her food on a flat surface within her enclosure.
She really is just an old lady who’s happy to exist in peace and appreciation! You two will be the best of friends.
