Second Chance Reptile Rescue

Second Chance Reptile Rescue
It is the objective of Second Chance Reptile Rescue, to be a reptile rescue, rehabilitation, conservation, and education society to provide a safe and healthy environment for reptiles and to find suitable, permanent adoptive homes for the reptiles in our care.



Our primary mission is to take in unwanted, sick, or injured reptiles by request, limited only to our enclosure capacity. Any species of reptile, wild or captive, except venomous, is a candidate for help at Second Chance Reptile Rescue. Once determined healthy, placement into a suitable home is arranged. We make every effort to ensure that the new home and reptile will be compatible.



We offer educational presentations to schools, youth organizations, and anyone else who feels they would benefit from additional reptile knowledge. We also offer reptile removal services for residential and commercial properties to further the conservation and safe keeping of the local wildlife.



Injured or sick wild-caught native animals are released back into the wild after rehabilitation (if appropriate). Animals that can't be placed into a home, re-released into the wild, or require long-term care will become permanently established in our rehabilitation or education programs whenever possible.



Veterinary and medical treatments are given when necessary. We only use veterinarians experienced in the care of reptiles. We provide neonatal care and intensive care, including IV's and tube-feeding. Euthanasia is the last resort and only if the animal will not have any quality of life due to an incurable or untreatable medical condition.
