Reptile Rescues We Recommend

Reputable reptile rescues have an irreplaceable role in the reptile industry. They take in abandoned and/or unwanted reptiles, nurse them back to health, and match them with forever homes — and all of this takes a lot of work! For these reasons, we at Reptile Supply make a priority of making sure rescuers know that they are valued and appreciated!

In fact, in 2021, we donated a total of $100,000 to 42 different small nonprofits!

Whether you're thinking about getting your first pet reptile or adding another one to your family, please consider adopting from a legitimate reptile rescue first. Here's a list of reptile rescues we recommend in the United States:
