If you have a reptile that you need to rehome, please e-mail us. We will determine if we have enough space and time to accept your pet. If not, we will make every effort to offer alternatives for you to consider.

 

There are some reptiles that VARR cannot accept. Water turtles (with only a few exceptions), iguanas, large monitor lizards, and snakes more than 10 feet in length are animals that we do not currently have facilities to house. You are welcome to contact us about placing these animals - we often have possibilities for new homes, we just cannot bring them here.

 

Please note that we generally cannot take sick or injured reptiles unless they have been seen by a vet. We are able to administer the treatment, but not able to afford your vet bill.

 

Sometimes the best option for sick, injured, or aggressive reptiles is humane euthanasia. Your veterinarian can perform this procedure for you, and it is better than having the animal suffer or become neglected by someone else.

 

If you have spoken with us, and we have agreed to take your reptile, please complete the Surrender Document online, or the Release of Custody Form and have it with you when you meet with us.
