Wildlife Rescue Story #2

We have received several of these rare snakes. One in particular had it's back and several ribs broken. It's doing well now and helps educate the public about Florida's unique wildlife.

Wildlife Rescue Story #3

Desert Phase California Kingsnake

This Desert Phase California King had it's back damaged by a cage lid dropped on it. He was in bad shape when we received it. We took it in and now it is feeding and breeding fine. He has helped to sire babies on a regular basis.

Wildlife Rescue Story #4

Northern Blue Tongue Skink

This one was born with a congenital defect. Her back vertebrate were kinked. The breeder was going to put her down but, we took her in. The kinks have moved into her tail and even though she can't use her back legs, she gets around well. She has produced perfect babies on and off for the last 7 years.

Wildlife Rescue Story #5

Bearded Dragons

This is only one of a few Bearded Dragons we have taken in. Many like this one suffer from Metabolic Bone Disease due to lack of calcium. Other have congenital defects.

Wildlife Rescue Story #6

Solomon Island Monkeytail Skinks

This is just one example of the many specimens we have received of this unique species. It's very sad to see these incredible animals dehydrated, starved and just plain mistreated. These are before and after photos. The difference is obvious.

Wildlife Rescue Story #7

Peachthroat Monitor

This beautiful little girl was burned by a heat lamp and then had a re-occurring infection. She's healing well and eats anything you want to give her!

Wildlife Rescue Story #8

Red Rat Snake

We take in a number of local Retiles and amphibians that are injured. Most are released. Some become permanent residents for education or breeding programs.

Wildlife Rescue Story #9

Iguana

This is just one of many Iguanas we have taken in. He was less than a pound and would have been 41/2' long. His tail is growing back and he's gaining weight!!!

Wildlife Rescue Story #10

Guyana Redtail Boa

She has a sad story... I was looking through a dumpster near an animal importer. (Getting packing boxes) I found her in this dumpster dehydrated and near death! She was only a few weeks old. I asked the dealer if he meant to throw her away and they said yes! Because she had a kinked tail she would cost too much to feed and they would never sell her. (So they condemned her to death in a dumpster instead of giving her to someone!!) She's doing great and may be able to produce some beautiful babies! She helps with our educational programs.

Wildlife Rescue Story #11

Albino Burmese Python

She came in about 6 months ago. It had a major respiratory, bacteria infection and nearly two thirds of the ventral scales were rotted off the belly. After months of work she is healing and doing well. We also, found that she has several eggs still attached to the ovaduct wall fron last years breeding!! Not good!! but, it's not septic. She will have surgery soon and should do well! She might not be able to breed but, she'll get a good home!

Wildlife Rescue Story #12

Burmese Python- 8'female

She was being fed 1 rat per month by the previous owner. She's healthy but only about 4 inches around. They said she was aggressive. Maybe just hungry!!! She's hasn't bitten but, for obvious reasons has a heavy feed response!

Wildlife Rescue Story #13

Florida Box Turtle-Male & Central American Wood Turtles-3 types

He's had bad scars from a fire. Being treated and will be released soon.
Central American Wood Turtles-3 types-Many have severely damaged shells or missing legs. They will be placed with our current breeders after quarantine. *These are not the slight imperfections that we sell. These guys have been through you know what!

Wildlife Rescue Story #14

Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake

This beautiful 4-5' diamondback was captured by workers on a Golf Course. Unfortunately they opted to pin it and hold it VERY tightly around the neck. The pressure cut off blood flow to the tissue around the neck and caused it to swell and jelly! She may recover? We are working on her.* If anyone is going to capture a rattler. Please opt for backing the specimen into a garbage can with a lid or use a hook to move, NOT pin it.

Wildlife Rescue Story #15

Ball Python

This ball python was injured when a very irresponsible owner left a rat in with it while on vacation! STUPID!!!! She's healing slowly and will recover. She still has a sweet personality. I know I wouldn't!
