About rescue work
Not every story has a happy ending. Sometimes the reptiles have simply gone too long without treatment or the injuries are too severe. We do the best we can and the rest is out of our hands. Any reptile that passes through the doors of our rescue is loved and well cared for as all of God's creatures should be. We give them a second chance at life. Sometimes the love and caring they receive from us is all they have ever known.

 This little dragon rescue was biten bye a cage mate. This injury is infected and the dragon may loose part or all of his limb. Accidents such as these can be avoided bye the prevention of over crowding and adequate diet. Also notice the lower jaw swelling indicitave of MBD.
 This little box turtle came to us with no history. It appears she was chewed on by a mammal, most likely a dog. Her entire bridge was jagged and and causing her puncture wounds which lead to an infection. She will not be able to go outside for years because she has no protection from the elements.
 This little water dragon was dropped off in a free reptile clinic with a note that read " please fix her and find her a new home". She was skinny, burnt, and scared.She was soaked in diluted betadine twice a day. Silvadine ointment was applied to her burns and she was started on an antibiotic. We did not think she was going to make it at first because the burns were so deep.
  A few months later "Suzy" is happy and healthy. Her normal green color has finally returned.
  These 15 Uromastyx lizards were dropped off in a gunny sack at a reptile clinic. All were starved and dehydrated. I hydrated and feed them twice daily. soon they were strong enough to eat on their own. After three weeks of rehab, 14 of them survived and were adopted out.
This slider was hit bye a car. She was to severely injured to survive despite the vet and rehabbers attempts.
