A second chance for incredible reptiles

Many reptiles are obtained without the full understanding of their complex care needs—their husbandry, potential size, dietary requirements, legality, or lifespan. Due to these factors, countless reptiles are surrendered, rehomed, sold, abandoned, or even released into the wild. At Serpent Sanctuary, we take in surrenders, provide essential medical care, and ensure they become healthy. Those ready for adoption are lovingly placed into 'Hannibal's Island of Misfit Creatures' to find vetted, forever homes. Join us in making a difference!

Our sanctuary often welcomes various lizards such as charismatic bearded dragons, intelligent tegus, vibrant iguanas, curious geckos, and agile skinks.

Turtles & tortoises

From graceful aquatic turtles to sturdy terrestrial tortoises, we provide rehabilitation and rehoming services for a wide range of chelonians.

Why choose serpent sanctuary?

Adopting from Serpent Sanctuary means giving a deserving animal a second chance at a fulfilling life. Many reptiles we receive are perfectly healthy, simply in need of a new situation. Those rescued from abuse or neglect undergo a thorough quarantine period and receive comprehensive veterinary care before being placed for adoption. Choosing adoption over buying new offers a wonderful opportunity for both you and a grateful animal. Become a part of their journey!

Adopt a reptile

To ensure a successful and loving placement, we require potential adopters to demonstrate a full understanding of the specific reptile's care requirements. You must already possess the appropriate enclosure and husbandry setup, have a reliable source for food and veterinary care, and be fully aware of the animal's potential adult size and age expectancy. Our goal is a perfect match for life.

If you find yourself needing to surrender a reptile, simply sign the animal over to the Serpent Sanctuary. It's important to understand that there is no financial compensation for surrendered animals, and once surrendered, you will not be able to reacquire the animal. This process ensures the animal's welfare and our ability to find them a new, permanent home.
