Hi, not sure if you’re still active but will try anyway!

My family got a red eared slider around 2019. Recently, due to new disabilities and negative changes to the family environment, her care has become much more difficult and has basically been reduced to ‘keep alive’. We would like to rehome her, but have been having trouble finding rescues and/or someone to take her.

We are in Northern Virginia, USA. Happy to give the tank and any other supplies we have.

Thanks! Have a good day!

Hi! I’m really sorry about your situation. Thank you for doing the right thing by rehoming her instead of keeping her in suboptimal conditions. Unfortunately I’m currently unable to take in any animals personally, but here are some links to reptile rescues in your area:

Northern Virginia Reptile Rescue

VA Reptile Rescue

Central Virginia Reptile Rescue

Blue Ridge Reptile Rescue

Reptile Education of Virginia

You could also call local exotic vets to see if they or any of their employees are willing to take her in, or post on local reptile Facebook groups to find other reptile enthusiasts near you who might want her. (Make sure that they’ll provide her with proper care before rehoming her, of course.)

Just so you know, red-eared sliders are invasive in many areas in the US, including Virginia, so the laws around owning them as pets may be complicated. I would look into the laws in your area (if you haven’t already) to make sure it won’t make rehoming her difficult.

I hope you’re able to find a good home for her!

It's October 21st, 🐊 Reptile Awareness Day! Today's the day that fans of snakes, lizards, turtles, crocodilians, and the tuatara take time to educate the general public (that's us) about these magnificent creatures, their shrinking numbers, their rapidly disappearing habitats, and the ecological threats they face.

More than 10,000 species of reptiles share our planet with us, and every single one of them is cold-blooded. The very first reptiles evolved hundreds of millions of years ago. They survived the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction event 66 million years ago that was caused by an asteroid slamming into Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. Now they live on every continent in the world except Antarctica.

Reptiles serve an important role in every ecosystem they live. They benefit us directly by helping to control insect and rodent populations, so we should thank them. If you're one of those people, however, who reacts with abject terror at the sight of a reptile, today presents an excellent opportunity for you to familiarize yourself with the wonders of the scaly world and perhaps develop an appreciation for them. I hope so. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet

Hey, love the blog, it's been super educational :) I'm planning to get my first snake at some point (when life circumstances mean I can responsibly) and one thing I've been wondering about is getting a rescue/rehomed one rather than buying from the breeder. Are there practical pros and cons to this? For example from a breeder you'd get a baby snake versus a rehomed one would probably be an adult and I'm not sure what's easier. Thanks if you have any insight and all you do on the blog!

Hello hello! It's entirely up to your personal preference. It's possible to buy adult snakes from breeders and to find babies at rescues, but you're right that generally speaking a rescue will be an adult.

Getting a baby snake from a breeder:

You know the snake's history exactly, from birthday to the ability to get the snake's lifelong food records, etc.

You get to watch the snake grow up!

You might have to change adult enclosure sizes as your snake grows - you can put a baby snake in its adult enclosure, but personally I find it way too easy to lose, say, baby cornsnakes in adult-sized enclosures

Babies can be a bit more fragile! You'll want to ensure your husbandry is already looking perfect before you bring your new baby home

Their personality might change as they grow - usually, it's for the better, such as shy babies who might become more outgoing, but you never really know!

Getting an adult rescue snake:

You know less about the snake's history, including potential history of abuse or neglect (the snake might be nippy, not like being handled in their enclosure, etc.)

You'll be ready to move them right into their permanent enclosure

You'll have a good idea of what their personality will be like

Adult snakes are rock-solid compared to babies and much easier to care for. They also tend to already be good eaters!

It's completely up to your preference! It's fun to watch baby snakes grow up, but adopting from a rescue feels great. If you decide to go the rescue route, I have a list of rescues I stand behind 100% in my pinned post!

Nugs is feeling festive!

You may notice that Nugs has nubby toes. She is one of my rescue babies. Her original owners just didn’t want her anymore and stopped caring. ALL of her toes are nubby, and on some feet she’s missing some completely. But she’s happy and safe now.

RESCUE MISSION TIME On my way to come get this poor guy. I’m glad my town knows me as the reptile lady, he’s been running around since yesterday around one of the schools. This is also a PSA because bearded dragons don’t usually just ‘escape’. DO NOT RELEASE YOUR PETS INTO THE WILD. FOR THE LOVE OF EVERYTHING. For one: They are not resistant to the parasites around here like the wild reptiles are. For two: They cannot survive the cold winters most of the time. And for three: -If- they survive they can be very damaging to wildlife. Also they have no idea to run from predators, considering they grew up around humans. Beardies especially. I’ll keep y’all updated on this guy.

#mrowr.txt #ask to tag #snakes #Snickers Pie the One-eyed Guy #ball python #reptiblr #reptiles #the guy had zero clue anything about him #supposedly whoever gave him the couple snakes to sell rescued them from somewhere and handed them off to him to sell and find homes for #it seemed super sus but he had a TON of bearded dragons so he seemed like a lizard guy #who just happened to have a couple random snakes #whatever the matter tho Snickers is now in the family #he's SO docile and sweet tempered. im hoping hes an okay eater but we'll find out later this week or early next #he's only 270 grams!!! #probably between 3-6 months depending on how good or bad he was kept before #i'm gonna say his birthday is prooooooobably in november #but im not a vet so idk! no clue if hes a boy or girl either tbh

Ed had zoomies yesterday after eating! I missed most of them while cleaning his tank, but grabbed this short bit. I'm biased, but I still think you can see the difference in his movement between this and my first video of his movement. He's definitely got more strength & energy!

Every fall, as temperatures begin to drop in the Northeast and the Atlantic Ocean gets chillier, sea turtles instinctively head south toward warmer waters. But each year, a few of the cold-blooded reptiles get stuck in Cape Cod Bay, stymied by the long, curving arm of the Cape Cod peninsula. As their body temperatures drop, the reptiles become weak and inactive, a condition known as “cold-stunning.” Without intervention, many of them eventually die...
