🚨 VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!! 🚨

We are looking for one or two amazing volunteers who would be willing to come in tomorrow and tackle a very specific (and much-needed) task for us!

DISHES. SO. MANY. DISHES. 😂🧽

We have a large number of hides and water bowls that need to be washed, scrubbed, and sanitized. And we would LOVE to have someone come in and dedicate their time solely to helping us get through them!

⚠️ Please note: Sanitizing does involve working with bleach, so we ask that anyone volunteering for this task be comfortable with that.

We know dishes aren’t exactly the most exciting part of working at a rescue, but they are an incredibly important part of keeping our animals healthy and their enclosures clean!

If you have some free time tomorrow and wouldn’t mind getting your hands a little dirty (and then very, very clean 😂), WE WOULD APPRECIATE YOU SO MUCH!

Please reach out if you’re interested in helping! ❤️🐢🦎

💥 Warning to all Bearded Dragon Owners!! 💥

With the holidays right around the corner, we wanted to bring attention to a new holiday product being sold at PetSmart.

And unfortunately, this one is a BIG safety concern.

These adorable little sleigh hammocks might look like the perfect festive addition to your bearded dragon’s enclosure, but PLEASE DO NOT USE THESE AS THEY ARE!

The holes in the hammock are the perfect size for a bearded dragon’s legs and toes to slip through and become trapped. If your dragon panics or tries to pull away, this could result in serious injuries, including broken legs.

And trust us, nobody wants an emergency vet visit because of a cute Christmas decoration.

We absolutely love the idea of festive enrichment and decorating enclosures for the holidays, but unfortunately, this product missed the mark when it comes to safety.

If you already purchased one or plan to get one, PLEASE securely cover the entire netted hammock portion with a solid piece of fabric! Make sure there are no exposed holes, loose threads, or areas where little legs can get caught.

We are only sharing this because we want to prevent injuries before they happen.

Cute does NOT always mean safe!

Please share this with your fellow reptile keepers! Let’s keep those scaly babies safe this holiday season!

WHAT AN AMAZING WEEKEND!!!

We are still coming down from all the excitement of last weekend’s Show Me Reptiles Expo in Longview!

And you guys… WE ENDED THE WEEKEND WITH 18 ADOPTIONS!!!

That’s 18 amazing animals who now have families to call their own. 18 new beginnings. And 18 more reasons why we do what we do!

We cannot thank everyone enough who stopped by our booth, adopted, purchased supplies or merch, donated, or even just came over to say hello and love on some scaly babies!

Every single bit of support helps us continue doing what we love. Taking in animals who need us, getting them healthy, and finding them the amazing homes they deserve.

To our 18 new adoptive families, THANK YOU!!! We cannot wait to see updates of your new family members settling into their forever homes! Please join our PNWAER ADOPTERS group on Facebook!

And to everyone who made this weekend so incredible, you guys are AMAZING!

Meet El Chompo!

This gorgeous girl is officially looking for a home to call her own!

El Chompo is a beautiful female veiled chameleon with quite the personality. She’s got some opinions, and she’s not afraid to share them!

But don’t let her sass fool you. This girl enjoys using her favorite human as her own personal tree, being hand-fed her favorite bugs, or showing off her hunting skills and catching them herself!

El Chompo is looking for a home with someone who has experience caring for chameleons and understands their unique needs.

Have chameleon experience and an enclosure ready to go?

Send us a message to learn more about this beautiful girl and see if El Chompo might be the perfect addition to your home!
