Adoptable Reptiles

We do not promote the breeding of our reptiles and as such, we do not guarantee the genders of our adoptable animals. 
All adoption fees are $40 unless specified.


How adoption works:
1. Fill out an application through (https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/GAH/Exotic/Other). 
Answer all questions in their entirety, paying special attention to the questions asking about your pet-ready enclosure and the diet you have researched for the animal you want to adopt. 
2.
Once you have submitted your application, email detailed photographs of your enclosure to gharescue@gmail.com. Reference the adoptable animal's name in the subject line of your email. Please note that no application can be processed without photographic evidence of your enclosure and accessories. Our Rockmart and Decatur locations sometimes have 40, 20 and 10 gallon glass tanks that are available for an additional donation
--you can inquire about the status via email. However, your application photographs would need to include your accessories (heating/lighting/climbs/substrate) to demonstrate that you have done research on the animal you are hoping to adopt. *Please read our website page “habitat & diet recommendations” before sending the photos to ensure your tank is ready for an adoptable animal.*
3. We will review your application and speak with you about any further questions we have.
4. Once you are approved, we will send you information on payment and your additional adoption forms. 

Current Animals Looking for their Forever Homes

IMG_7617.HEIC

Bronson: suspected male, 5 years old. Bronson eats very well and LOVES hunting his bugs. It is so fun to watch him demonstrate his skills! Bronson is a typical leo in that he does not really like handling, and is therefore more of an observation pet. However, he is super responsive to his foster mom and really enjoys interacting. Bronson can come with a 20-gallon tank and lid with an additional donation.

Pick up in Decatur

IMG_8828.jpg

Pablo:  young adult, male, about 2 years old, Argentine Black and White Tegu. Pablo was found as a stray in Clarke County and was very malnourished. His foster mom has been working with him and he is healthy and ready for his forever home! Please be prepared in your application to state what experience and research you have done on this species. Nipsey is already microchipped, per State law. His new owner will be responsible for changing the registration to their name/address and also registering him with DNR. Adoption fee is $100.

Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia

IMG_7492.jpg

Maybelle: young adult, Ball Python. Miss Maybelle is a good-sized python, but still has a growing to do. She/he would do well in a 20 gallon tank for another year or so. Maybelle is currently on a diet of small, frozen thawed rats. 

Pick up in Augusta

IMG_8658.HEIC

Little Foot: adult, male, Leopard Gecko. Little Foot is a beautiful gecko that loves his superworms. He is great at coming out for dinner time. He did lose his tail with his previous owner and so has a tail regrowth, but we don't think it takes away from his handsomeness at all! 

Pick up in Decatur

GAH-A-195-0.png

Mercury: 1 year old, male, adult, Savannah Monitor. Currently Mercury fits fine in a 40 gallon tank but he will eventually need a 6x2x2 enclosure. Please be prepared in your application to explain your research on this species.

Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia

IMG_6977.JPG

Fluffy: adult, 4 years old, male, Bearded Dragon. Fluffy loves to perch and look out the window (where his tank is placed at his foster parents' home). His foster mom has added bee pollen to his salads to entice him to eat a better diet and it is working! Fluffy came to us having just been fed a diet of freeze dried bugs (not the nutrition a dragon needs long-term), and so his foster parents have been working with him and noted that bee pollen did the trick! They note he is a sweet and loving boy!

Pick up in Augusta

Coming Soon

Brianna: 1.5 years old, undetermined gender, Ball Python. Brianna is a spider morph and this breed can come with its own complications. Brianna currently eats small rats weekly. 

Pick up in Savannah

IMG_20221102_185135_01.jpg

Leonard: male, 13 years old, Leopard Gecko. Don't be fooled by Leonard's age--he is as cute as he can be and it's fun to hear him fuss at you! He is the quintessential grumpy old man, but he eats well and has plenty of sass to give! He can be a bit nippy so would make a good companion for someone with leopard gecko experience or an older caregiver. For the right home, Leonard's adoption fee can be waived due to his age. 
Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia

thumbnail_image1.jpg

Tommy: approximately 1-year-old, male, Bearded Dragon. Tommy (like most young beardies who weren't handled a lot as babies) is uncomfortable with too much interaction. He is making some improvements with his foster home though and would continue making improvements with a family who allowed for him to interact with them on his own time. 

Pick up in Augusta

Irwin: juvenile, approx. 6 months old, undetermined gender, Bearded Dragon. Irwin loves his/her greens and bugs and also loves to explore outside his tank (supervised of course).

Pick up in Augusta

IMG_5423.jpeg

Milkshake: regular morph, approx. 9 years old Ball Python, gender undetermined at this time. Milkshake's previous owner had her for her entire life and ensured that she was well taken care of. However, he moved and was unable to take her with him--he was so upset about it and asked if we would ensure she found a good forever home. She eats frozen, thawed medium rats every other week. She is easily handleable and we want her to find her forever home soon!

Pick up in Savannah.

output_image1687458733028.jpg

Beauty: 1-year-old, undetermined gender, Ball Python. Beauty is looking for a home with which to grow! Beauty has a strong food response and has never skipped a meal (our fosters are fed frozen, thawed rats and the foster will be happy to show you the size Beauty is currently on upon adoption). Beauty has been around both kids and adults and is always well-behaved.

Pick up in Moultrie, south Georgia

IMG_7575.jpeg

Big Tasty: adult, 2 years old, male, Veiled Chameleon. Big Tasty is a typical chameleon in that he has some attitude and he doesn't mind showing it! He doesn't want to be touched (normal for this species) but is beautiful and would make a wonderful observational pet. 

Pick up in Atlanta 

image000005.jpg

Tina: very young, suspected male (Tino?), Leopard Gecko. Tina would make a perfect addition for a home that is looking to watch an animal grow! As she is very young, she will require some patience with interaction. Suspected Jungle or Lavender morph. Her foster home does have a 20-gallon tank that you can use for an additional adoption fee if you so choose.

Pick up in Decatur

IMG_7047_edited.jpg

Ronnie: 1 year old, undetermined gender, Ball Python. Ronnie is an easily handlable young ball python who is currently on a diet of frozen thawed fuzzy rats. He would make a great snake for someone wanting to watch their pet grow!

Pick up in Augusta

IMG_5925.jpg

Amaru: juvenile, 1 and a half years old, unknown gender, regular morph Ball Python. Amaru is used to being handled and is getting a lot of handling experience from her foster family. She/he is very curious when out of her habitat and loves to slither through hair, hoodie pockets, and anything else! She has a good track record of eating with her fosters and had a perfect shed recently as well. 

Pick up in Jackson, Middle Georgia

IMG_7292.HEIC

Apophis: juvenile/under 4 years old, unknown gender, regular morph Ball Python. Apophis is a very interesting snake but can be a little shy (his namesake is the Egyptian god of Chaos but he behaves himself at home). However, working with these snakes can be very fulfilling as they get to know (and become comfortable with) you. Apophis eats a diet of frozen, thawed small rats. He can come with a 20-gallon tank and lid with a donation (a 20-gallon will be suitable for a while longer as he is a juvenile).

Pick up in Jackson, middle Georgia

kirby.jpg

Kirby: young adult, Leopard Gecko. Kirby is an adventure gecko! He loves to be out of his enclosure for supervised handling sessions and will sit nicely in his foster parents' hands.

Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia

IMG_7503.HEIC

Dude: middle aged, male, Bearded Dragon. Dude is an older gentleman, but still has many good years left. He tolerates handling well and would make a good first dragon for a family.

Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia

IMG_0228.jpeg

Lizzo: under 1 year and a half old, undetermined gender, Leopard Gecko. Lizzo is a younger leo who enjoys hiding in her different caves and catching bugs. She'd be a great pet for someone who wants to watch their lizard grow. She is very interactive with her foster mom whose younger daughter also helps feed and water Miss Lizzo.

Pick up in Atlanta

IMG_7783_edited.jpg

Bonnie Bell: approximately 2 years old, Ball Python. Mr. Wormy is a very sweet snake and tolerates handling well. She is currently on a diet of small frozen/thawed rats and would do well in a 20 gallon tank for a few more years before having to switch up to a 40 gallon.

Pick up in Chamblee

IMG_7500.jpg

Fortune: young adult, Ball Python. Fortune is a good-sized python, but still has a good bit of growing to do. She/he would do well in a 20 gallon tank for another year or so. Fortune currently is on a diet of small, frozen thawed rats. 

Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia

IMG_7501.jpg

Panther: young adult, Ball Python. Panther still has some growing to do but is a good-size. She/he is currently on a diet of small, frozen thawed rats and would be happy in a 20 gallon enclosure for another year.

Pick up in Augusta

IMG_5157.jpeg

Yin: juvenile, under 1 year old, Leopard Gecko. Yin is a VERY talented hunter. She is absolutely wonderful to watch, but should likely be an observation pet due to her hunting instincts. These are likely due to her having cohabitate with another gecko when she came to us and having to compete for food. Her foster parents have been working with her and will be happy to share some techniques with her forever home. She'd be happy in a 10-gallon tank for another year or so and could come with one (and a heating pad) for an additional donation fee.  

Pick up in Decatur

lemmy.jpg

Lemmy: adult, male, Leopard Gecko. Lemmy is a little shy, but very sweet! He loves to hunt his meal worms (in his bowl). He is a lighter morph and so is sensitive to lights. Leopard geckos absorb heat from below, not above, so for Lemmy it will be important to get the right temperatures from non-light emitting sources. 

Pick up in Monroe

IMG_1081-preview.JPG

Leslie: juvenile, undetermined gender, Bearded Dragon. Leslie is a very young beardie (only about 10" in length), and so is still a bit shy and will jump. However, once out of the enclosure, Leslie will sit with her foster mom while she works. Bear in mind that such young beardies require different feeding regimens and diets than full-grown ones, so please be prepared to explain the different diets you will feed Leslie in your application. 

Pick up in Statesboro

image0.jpeg

Richard: adult, 5 years old, Bearded Dragon. Richard was a little shy at first but has really warmed up. He seems to prefer males but has done fine with his foster mom and her daughter handling him as well. He is very energetic and likes to move around, and would probably enjoy being out on a leash. He absolutely loves kale and carrots and has been eating super worms and crickets for protein. He has a small kink in his tail that his previous owner had checked out by a vet and was told it does not cause him any pain. He will definitely make someone a great companion!

Pick up in Columbus

IMG_7984.JPG

Spyro: adult, male, Leopard Gecko. Spyro is a beautiful leopard gecko, although a little bit shy. He wasn't handled much in his previous home and leos are by nature not as handleable as other lizards. He would make a great observation pet. He eats well!

Pick up in Marietta

IMG_8662.jpg

Jasper: male, 3 years old, Leopard Gecko. Jasper came to us with extreme shed build up in his eyes due to heat lamps being used on his enclosure (one of the reasons we ask for these not to be used with leopard geckos). He is doing great with his foster mom and never skips a meal of superworms. He is curious and tolerates short handling sessions well. He ready for his forever home!

Pick up in Decatur

Coming Soon

Loki:  adult, 5 years old, undetermined gender, Ball Python. Loki came from a family who were no longer able to provide for his care but he is a wonderful snake who loves being handled. He is currently on a diet of medium frozen, thawed rats twice a month. He would love at least a 40 gallon tank. He has a slight abnormality (a vertebra is out of place) with his spine which has been checked out by our vet and does not bother his ability to move or climb.

Pick up in Decatur

Screen Shot 2023-07-24 at 5.24.25 PM.png

Pascel:  3-years old, female, Veiled Chameleon. Pascel laid a clutch of infertile eggs a few months ago and recovered well. She loves to eat but doesn't like to be held (typical of this species). Her colors are vibrant! Please note that chameleons should be kept in open-air environments and yo can see our page "habitat & diet recommendations" for more information. 

Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia.

Green Bean:  sub-adult, female, Green Iguana. Green Bean is young and handleable. She eats very well and is a beautiful girl. Please make sure that you explain your understanding of what iguanas need in your application and include pictures of an appropriate iguana habitat (iguanas should NOT be kept in glass aquariums). 

Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia.

2-2.jpg

Vinny:  Vinny is a fun and spunky beardie! He has so much personality. When his foster family approaches his tank and says, “Hi, Vinny!” he turns his head to listen and gets excited. Vinny is young so he needs plenty of handling sessions. Someone who has had previous experience with another bearded dragon would make the ideal home.  Unfortunately, he had been kept in a very small tank but is now thoroughly enjoying all of his space in a much larger enclosure! His favorite thing is to sprawl out on his ramp and bask under his lights. Vinny is on a healthy diet of daily greens as well as superworms and crickets. He is a great eater and loves to hunt for his food! 

Pick up in Jackson, Middle Georgia

IMG_7212.JPG

Leo: adult, male, Leopard Gecko. Leo recovered from toe rot and is a very active little guy. He loves hanging out by his blue water bowl and taking naps. He eats best when he is tweezer-fed and does need some help with getting shed off of his toes (this can easily be achieved with short soaks). As is common with his species, he is flighty when handled. It looks like he did have MBD earlier in his life which would need to be monitored by his forever home. Calcium with vitamin D should be a staple of his diet. 

Pick up in Ringgold, North Georgia 

IMG_7049.JPEG

Pandora: adult, approximately 5 years old, Ball Python. Pandora is currently on a diet of frozen thawed small rats. She does well with handling and would make a great snake for someone who doesn't want to purchase multiple tanks (as she is full grown).

Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia

IMG_7044_edited.jpg

Sobi: adult, unknown gender, Ball Python. Sobi is on a diet of frozen thawed small or medium rats. He would do very well in a 40 gallon tank and is full grown. Sobi wants to be your one and only noodle! 

Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia

IMG_7778.jpeg

Axil: adult 4 years old, male, Bearded Dragon. He is very active and enjoys running around and swimming. He eats like a champ! He's a great dragon and we'd love to see him find his forever home soon.

Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia

IMG_0927.JPG

Captain Barbara: adult, female, 6 years old, Bearded Dragon with MBD. The Captain loves her greens and crickets, which would need to be dusted with calcium w/ vitamin D every day (as well as having her owner make an effort to include calcium-rich foods) to help her maintain her current bone health. She loves looking out the window and snuggling in her foster mom's hair. She tolerates short handling sessions but this can be moved to longer handling sessions with patience and practice. She would make a great pet for an older child or adult. 

Pick up in Augusta

Bingus.jpeg

Bingus: adult, male, 4 years old, Bearded Dragon. Bingus's previous owners tore of him but were unable to keep him due to changing in housing. He eats well and likes short periods of handling. 

Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia

IMG_5123.jpeg

Lilo: juvenile, female, under 2 years old, Leopard Gecko. Lilo came to us in a tank that was much too large for her (sometimes more space is NOT better when it comes to certain species). Her foster mom is working with her to be comfortable being held (as comfortable as this species can get). Lilo loves her worms and goes to her bowl to wait for her meals.

Pick up in Decatur

IMG_1336.JPEG

Pepper: adult, Leopard Gecko. Pepper loves to eat and is a healthy adult. For an additional donation, Pepper can come with an enclosure from his foster home. If you'd like to use our enclosure, just make sure you show photo evidence of your extra items such as climbs, bowls, hides, and heat sources.

Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia

IMG_7495.jpg

Ta'Cala: young adult, Ball Python. Ta'Cala is on a diet of frozen, thawed small rats. She/he would do well in a 20 gallon enclosure for the next year or so and would make a great snake for a family who want to watch their baby grow.

Pick up in Augusta. 

Coming Soon

Scooter: Bearded Dragon

Pick up in Statesboro

IMG_3550.jpeg

Jane: juvenile, undetermined genderBall Python. As Jane is still young, she would be fine to be in a 20 gallon tank for a few more years. She would make a great snake for a family that wants to watch their pet grow!

Pick up in Augusta

IMG_7593.jpeg

Brownie:  sub-adult, 1 year old, Ball Python. Brownie is currently on a diet of frozen/thawed fuzzy rats. She came from having been lost in a car by her previous owner and has been with us for some while to assert she is in good health. She has also been checked by our speciality vet as she exhibits some slight head wobbles, but the vet stated this was likely due to breeding and that it does not impact her mobility or desire to eat. She has never missed a meal yet! Brownie would be happy in a 20 gallon tank for a good while longer and we have these available for an additional donation at our Rockmart location. 

Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia

IMG_9563.jpeg

Tiffany: juvenile, approx. 11 months old, male, Bearded Dragon. Tiffany will need a forever home that is happy to give him LOTS of attention. He loves to be out of his enclosure with his foster mom. He was brought to us by his original owners who were very concerned for his health. They loved him very much and wanted the best for him. He has fully recovered at his foster mom's house from a vitamin deficiency and LOVES HUNTING CRICKETS. It's his favorite pastime. He does have a slight kink in his tail but it does not cause him any problems. This is more than likely due to his problems during early development. Baby beardies need a different care regimen than adults, so be prepared in your application to explain the difference and that you are also aware Tiffany will need tank/light upgrades as he grows.

Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia

IMG_2625.jpeg

Spot: adult, male, 2 year old Leopard Gecko. Spot came to us having lost his tail but it has regrown and he's ready for his forever home. He was shy when he first got to his foster home, but he warmed up quickly! He loves mealworms and super worms; he tried his first dubia meal and he absolutely love it! He has gained weight and shed successfully several times. Spot loves to climb and stare at you when you are close by his enclosure.

Pick up in Lilburn

2.jpg

Spooky: adult, approximately 4 years old, female Leopard Gecko. Spooky tolerates her handling time very well and loves crickets above all else! Most light-colored leos do not like to have much day-light on their tanks, so please ensure you have your heat coming from underneath, not above. 

Pick up in Cartersville

2-1.jpg

Clementine: adult, approximately 4 years old. female, Leopard Gecko. This species does not typically like to be held, but Clementine tolerates it well. She is a very sweet girl who eats well! She does need a bit of help with stuck shed on her toes now and then but a short soak in a tub of very shallow water will do the trick!

Pick up in Cartersville

70649355514__C271C704-621A-47C5-B36B-9906C65CEF77.jpeg

Shirley:  adult, 3 years old, Ball Python. Shirley came to us from a police officer who kindly took on her care after Shirley's owner died. While she is a little skittish, she is easily handled once out of her enclosure. She will need some help with shedding as she has had a previous injury to her tail and needs a bit of assistance getting that last piece off. She is currently on a diet of small frozen thawed rats. 

Pick up in Columbus

IMG_6976.JPG

Bowie: adult, 7 year old, male, Bearded Dragon. Bowie loves his warm baths and outside time (supervised). He also especially loves shoulder time with his foster parents. They say he is such a good boy!

Pick up in Augusta

Coming Soon

Angel: adult, 2 years old, female, Leopard Gecko. Angel came into GHAR with extreme shed build-up all over her body from heat lamps being used on her enclosure. She made a full recovery with her foster mom and is a wonderful gecko! She is on the small side but may still grow more now that she has the proper nutrition. She predominately loves to eat her super worms when it's late in the evening and enjoys the climbs in her tank. We would recommend a 10 gallon tank for Angel for potential adopters, moving up to a 20 gallon tank later on.

Pick up in Decatur

IMG_3341.JPG

Ringo: adult 5 years old, male, Leopard Gecko. Ringo can also handle short periods of handling and is a cuddler. He has a sweet but shy personality. 

Pick up in Augusta

IMG_3342.JPG

Jimmi Hendrix: adult 5 years old, male, Leopard Gecko. All leos have different personalities, and are mainly observation pets, although some tolerate short periods of handling. Jimmi can be seen exploring his enclosure during the day and would make for a good observation pet--he is a nipper!

Pick up in Augusta

IMG_7046_edited.jpg

Momo: very young, undetermined gender, Ball Python. Momo is a tiny python who is currently on frozen, thawed pinkies. So far, he has not missed a meal! He is easy to handle as well (not common for such young b.p.s). 

Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia,

Coming Soon

Huey: sub-adult, approximately 2 years old, undetermined gender, Ball Python. Huey was very loved by his previous owner but unfortunately the apartment complex where he lived did not allow exotic pets and his owner was faced with giving him up.

If you are interested in Huey but do not have an enclosure, a suitable size can be obtained with an additional donation. 

Pick up in Decatur

IMG_8659.jpg

Jaws: adult, 3 years old, male, Leopard Gecko. Jaws came to us having been kept on sand and had a bit of an impaction due to that (this is one of the reasons we ask for particular habitats). He is doing great now with his foster and loves to come out at night to hunt his super worms. 

Pick up in Decatur

IMG_3343.JPG

Stevie Nicks: adult, female, 2 year old, Leopard Gecko. Stevie likes to cuddle and snuggle in a blanket. As Leos are crepuscular creatures, Stevie is more active at night (not as much in the early morning hours). She eats a steady diet of crickets. 

Pick up in Augusta

smoochie.jpg

Smoochie:  adult, female, Green Iguana. She eats very well and is a beautiful girl. She is not totally comfortable yet with handling but would make a great pet for someone willing to give Smoochie patience and love.

Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia.

Snor Igardo:  adult, male, Bearded Dragon. Igardo is a sweet boy who was neglected in the past. He does have some special needs that will need to be met as he has MBD and a cleft lip which cause him to not want to eat on his own. His foster mom hand-feeds him which would need to be continued in the right home. He really likes mustard and turnip greens and wax worms. The tip of his tongue sticks out all the time which can cause him to dehydrate quickly and he likes to drink water out of a dropper. He moves around just fine and loves to be held. 

Pick up in Moultrie south Georgia.

Adoption fee can be waived for the right home due to disabilities.

IMG_6813.jpeg

Scraps: 3 year old, male, Bearded Dragon. Scraps came to us refusing to eat for his owner. He had been in a tank with sand and had built up impactions due to that substrate (we do not allow for our beardies to go into tanks with sand for this reason). His foster mom has gotten his diet and bowel movements stabilized and is working with him on getting comfortable with handling.

Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia

image1.jpeg

Maddie:  adult, 2 year old female, Bearded Dragon. Maddie is easily handled but a bit picky with her food. She loves super worms and collard greens the best! She has a few kinks in her tail due to improper lighting in her previous home but these don't cause her any problems and she has good bone structure elsewhere. 

Pick up in Augusta

IMG_6419-preview.JPG

Chacha:  adult, 1.5 year old female, Veiled Chameleon. Chacha is a lovely example of a female veiled; she loves to explore her climbs, dig in the bottom of her tank (where her foster keeps some dirt for her in a pot to help with egg laying), and eating her greens and bugs out of a bowl. She also loves her crickets! She is missing two toenails on both of her front feet and was seen by our reptile vet to ensure it wouldn't keep her from being mobile. The vet stated she is ready for her forever home (the toenails may or may not grow back) and will need a habitat that has a lot of climbs to help her from trying to climb the mesh sides. 

Pick up in Johns Creek

IMG_6118.jpeg

Speedy Gonzalez adult, 6 year old female, Leopard Gecko. Speedy lives her name-sake when any cricket is involved. She is a go-getter for crickets! She just laid a clutch of non-fertile eggs with her foster mom and recovered wonderfully.

Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia

IMG_6128.jpeg

King Basilisk:  adult, 1year old male, Ball Python. King B may not be quite the age he tells others (we can never be sure with rescues), but this is what he came to us saying--he is definitely a King though and is a good, healthy size. He currently eats a diet of frozen thawed rats and his foster mom could show you his current size. 

Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia

IMG_6124_edited.jpg

Ramen:  adult, year old male, Bearded Dragon. Ramen is a silly guy who likes being handled (with moderation of course). He is on a steady diet of greens, super worms and dubia roaches with his foster mom and loves it!

Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia

IMG_6121.jpeg

Mushu:  adult, 3 year old female, Bearded Dragon. Her previous owner kept Mushu in excellent health but she is a little shy. Each dragon is different (just like every animal), so Mushu would do better with an adult owner willing to give her time to get to know them. 

Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia

IMG_2632.jpeg

Lauren:  adult, 2 year old female, Bearded Dragon. Lauren is a small dragon with a BIG personality. After she came to GHAR in really bad shape, we were afraid that she wouldn't make it, but she is a fighter and has made a truly incredible recovery. Lauren is extremely active (especially in the summer) and would make a great companion for someone with the time and space to hang out with her regularly. She absolutely loves to run around or snuggle up on the couch with you. Her favorite foods are collard greens, butternut squash with banana and blueberries as a treat. Lauren is atadenovirus-positive, which means she must be an only-bearded dragon. This atadenovirus is very easily transmitted between bearded dragons; however, it is not contagious to humans or other reptiles as each animal species is only susceptible to its own version of the virus. For the most part, Lauren does not have any special care related to this. She needs a soak in a warm bath a few times a week to ensure she stays hydrated and generally does better eating her salads and bugs when hand/tong-fed. She does fine eating from a bowl, but will eat more veggies if you hand feed her one leaf at a time. 

Pick up in Griffin, adoption fee reduced due to her special needs. 

IMG_6113.jpeg

Smaug:  adult, 8 year old male, Leopard Gecko. Ok, so maybe a "dragon" named Smaug is too much for you? No problem! We have a leopard gecko who also secretly hoards treasure...oh wait, no, we weren't supposed to tell you that secret! Gecko Smaug likely dropped his tail at some point in her life (pesky dwarves!), but it has grown back beautifully.

Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia

123_1 11.jpeg

Cheeto:  sub-adult, 8 months old, male, Leopard Gecko. Cheeto has a bright orange band on his tail (which is where he got his name). He grew up in a pet store, so is not shy nor does he hide all day. He loves to snoop and see what is going on all the time! Cheeto absolutely loves food and gets excited when it is time to eat! He doesn't mind being held at all and will have fun climbing around on your shoulder. He also has explored his foster mom’s house inside of a hamster ball!

Neko:  adult, 3 years old, male, Ball Python. Neko is Japanese for "cat" and she was named by a kind worker at For Pet's Sake who went to buy a used reptile tank, only to find Neko "thrown away" inside. The vet's office gave Neko the once over to make sure he was healthy and he shed and ate there prior to being rehomed with our rescue. He currently eats small/medium frozen thawed rats every other week. He would be best housed in a 40 gallon tank.
