The Scales and Slithers Sanctuary

[LauraCox]

So I haven't posted on this forum in a long time. Not since I rescued Butterscotch the Cuvier's Dwarf Caiman. Unfortunately or perhaps fortunately that event has spun everything else out of control. And here I am with a handful of other dedicated reptile and amphibian enthusiasts forming a reptile sanctuary.

We realized that the US has only ONE other reptile sanctuary that offers life-time care for reptiles and amphibians (not a rescue that rehomes and rehabs but actually offers a permanent home) And with the ever growing numbers and popularity of reptiles (which is awesome for responsible owners- but not so for irresponsible ones-) it seems like a second one on the East Coast would be beneficial. We focus mainly on large, aggressive, or difficult-to-keep species that would be hard to find new homes for.

We are waiting on our paperwork back for our 501(c)3 status before we launch our website.

Ok, so our paperwork comes in tomorrow...so here's our website!

We're taking in two new rescues tomorrow: a nile and a savannah monitor that a 17 year old was hiding from his mom in boxes under his bed. I'll post pictures as soon as I can.

We'll start accepting donation in January
