ADOPT ME: I’M A LIVING, BREATHING DINOSAUR. (Kinda.)

Hi. I’m Marshmallow, and yes—I’m basically a prehistoric tank with a heart of gold and a built-in helmet. I’m a sulcata tortoise, which is fancy talk for “land turtle that doesn’t mess around.”

Things I enjoy:
• Long walks in the backyard (supervised—I’m basically a garden bulldozer).
• Eating leafy greens like a slow-motion paper shredder.
• Sunbathing like a tiny, judgmental grandpa.
• Staring at you silently while you question your life choices.

Things I do NOT enjoy:
• Cold weather (I’m team sun forever).
• Being mistaken for a rock.
• People who don’t bring snacks.

I’m low maintenance in a “build me a warm palace and feed me daily” kind of way. But I promise, I’ll give you years—nay, decades—of slow, steady friendship. I’m not just a pet. I’m a lifestyle.

Bonus: I might outlive you. So this is technically an heirloom pet. You’re welcome.

Adopt me and get:
• A forever friend.
• Free yard aeration.
• Bragging rights that you own a tortoise with the emotional range of Clint Eastwood.

Message The Wise Frog to meet me. Let’s grow old together (or older, because I’ve already got a head start).

LOOKING FOR A SMALL DRAGON WITH BIG PERSONALITY? 🐉

Hey. I’m Pebbles—a young Savannah monitor with the swagger of a T-Rex and the cuteness of a tiny, grumpy grandma in a lizard suit.

I may be young, but I already have the vibes of someone who’s seen things—mostly crickets and mealworms—but STILL. I’m alert, clever, and probably judging you from across the room with my intense stare. Don’t take it personally. I do that to everyone.

What I bring to the table:
• Tongue flicks for days (my sniffing game is strong).
• Excellent squats (seriously, these legs are THICC).
• Endless reptilian charm with just a hint of chaos.

Looking for:
• A human minion—uh, I mean companion—who gets that I need proper heat, space to stretch, and a diet fit for a bug-devouring king.
• Someone who appreciates a pet that isn’t cuddly… but IS weirdly lovable.
• Bonus if you talk to me like I’m royalty. Because, duh—I am.

Think of me as a sleek, scaly adventure buddy who won’t chew your shoes but might try to climb your arm if you smell like food.

Adopt me and get:
• A pet that makes your friends say, “Wait, is that a lizard???”
• A chill little dude who might outsmart your man.
• Hours of entertainment watching me strut, dig, and nap like a boss.

Slide into The Wise Frog Reptile Rescue’s DMs and let’s make this the start of a beautiful, slightly spicy friendship.

Tulare Fire Department Face Their Scariest Opponent Yet—Reptiles! 🚒

Tulare’s bravest firefighters are trained to battle raging infernos, rescue people from dangerous situations, and handle emergencies of all kinds. But there’s one challenge that seems to shake even the toughest among them—reptiles. 🐍 🦎

From slithering snakes to sneaky lizards, it turns out that some of Tulare’s finest aren’t exactly fans of our cold-blooded neighbors. While they can charge into burning buildings without hesitation, a sudden encounter with a hissing snake or a darting gecko can lead to some unexpected reactions.

Of course, in true firefighter fashion, they always get the job done—whether it’s rescuing a stray iguana from someone’s backyard or helping a family with an unwelcome snake in their garage. And let’s be honest, no one really signs up to wrestle reptiles when they become a firefighter!

So, next time you see a Tulare firefighter, be sure to thank them for their bravery—not just for fighting fires, but for facing their fears, one scaly creature at a time!
