Available for Adoption
These critters are in need of a home. All are now healthy and eating, shedding, and pooping regularly.
They are ready for a new mom or dad.
We use to adopt out for free and found people reselling them for profit. So now we do ask for a donation and the amount will vary depending on if we provide caging. If we do not have caging to go with the animal we will advise on cage set up and will stop by to see it before leaving the animal with you, so yes, you need to live in the Las Vegas area. We do not ship. All snakes are eating pre-killed frozen/ thawed rodents occasionally supplemented with vitamins.
If a reptile is not for you, check below, we do occasionally get other critters besides snakes.
Please read the care pages on this site to know what you are getting into or email us with any questions. Below are just a few general things to think about before getting a snake.
- water bowl needs to be cleaned at least every other day as snakes will not drink stagnant water and should not soak in soiled water, and not just refilled, scrub out the bowl with soap to avoid bacteria filled slime from forming, would you drink from a glass of water that sat for 2 days?
- temperature monitored frequently as your home temp will affect the cage temp, we recommend radiant heat panels as the best heat source
- picking up frozen rodents at Petco every week if you do not want them in your regular freezer (they can smell)
- we clean the cage at the sign of urination or defecation, you cannot just leave a cage for weeks uncleaned
- regular handling is a must or you will have a wild snake on your hands
Of course we will give you instructions to get you started.
PLEASE READ THIS: I cannot tell you how many inquirys we get asking us to ship. So I have to wonder if anyone reads the second paragraph above. We will not ship!

Ready for Adoption
We have ready for adoption a beautiful Chinese Water Dragon. I don't know the sex so I'll call him "he for nor. He has a few missing toes, but is healthy and ready for a new home. He comes with a cage that will last him his full life, heating, lighting, etc... I do not have a care sheet for him on this site so please visit this care page to learn about these cute little guys before contacting us.

The tank is apprx 4' x 2 1/2' with 2 sliding tops on each end and a solid glass center. There is a crack in the top glass (owner put a hot bulb over it) but it is intact and should not fall out. There is an infrared heater, a regular light and an fixture with vitalights. A small waterfall, shelter, climbing logs, and dri-deck substrate. It was a lot to set up the proper housing for this guy that came in a small cage so it would be nice to donate something for the dragon and set up. I'll try and get a photo of the dragon soon. He was sleeping and I didn't want to bother him.

Another Happy Ending
Someone recently emailed us with a python and iguana that needed rescuing in Illinois. Since we are in Las Vegas we tried to locate someone in their area to help out. Tom at www.mccarthyboas.com went and picked them up and found a home for the iguana right away. Below is the email he sent shortly after.
Hi Steve,
Thanks for helping me get the Retic and the Iguana. I was glad we were able to save these two guys. I am going to post this on Redtailboa.net so everyone will know how they are doing.
I picked up the Iguana and the Tiger Retic today after work. They both seem in good health. I was told the Iguana is litter box trained and is use to having dog, cats and people around it all the time. It did seem fairly tame to me. I am not a Iguana person so I placed it in a new home all ready.
I did not get any pictures of the Iguana as I dropped it off before I got home. I am going to feed the Retic tonight as I don't think it has eaten for sometime. In a few day I will see how tame he is, as I think he is only hungry now. I did not sex it yet but I believe it is a male. He does have some old bite marks on his nose but they look ok. He was left in a abandoned home and has been living in the ceiling for about 3 weeks.The gentleman that I got him from knew he was in the house but could not find it. Then one day they found the retic in the laundry sink as they were remodoling the home. That is when they caught him and but him in a cage.
Here are some pictures of the Tiger Retic.
Take care
