The crisis in Las Vegas is quiet, but it is constant. A close friend who works at a local reptile shop fields multiple surrender calls every single day - and that is just one location. When shops and rescues are full, we lose sleep wondering where those animals go. Too often, they are abandoned in the Mojave Desert, a death sentence for tropical species that cannot survive the harsh climate.

​

Our mission to change this is personal. It started with Aziraphale, a subadult Blue-Eyed Leucistic Ball Python who needed a second chance. He turned out to be an absolute love bug—though we suspect his sweetness comes from a distinct lack of brain cells! Aziraphale proved to us that these misunderstood animals have personalities and deserve safety, dignity, and warmth.

​

For the last three years, we have operated entirely out of our home, stacking enclosures floor-to-ceiling and pouring our own salaries into veterinary care. We have rehabilitated as many as we could, but we have finally hit a heartbreaking wall: we have physically run out of space.

​

We are done saying "no" to animals in need. We are currently fundraising to secure a commercial facility that will serve as a permanent safe haven for Las Vegas reptiles. Your support helps us bridge the gap from a cramped living room to a true sanctuary, ensuring that no animal is ever left behind.
