Georgia Herpetological Association & Rescue
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; leopard geckos are $20.
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. We do not approve applications that do not match the requirements we ask.*
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:
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
Cal: adult, 2 years old, male, Leopard Gecko. Can you see me? I am hiding amongst the polka dots. My name is Cal, and I am shyer than my foster "brother", Kirby (housed with the same foster but of course not together!), but I am a good eater, and my foster mom thinks I'm sweet. I do have an odd trait: I really love the taste of calcium powder and I will lick it up before eating my meal.
Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia
Maybelle: young adult, Ball Python. Miss Maybelle is a good-sized python but still has 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
Caiman: adult, 3 years old, male, Bearded Dragon with MBD.
Caiman has a great personality and loves to eat. He unfortunately has MBD, which he will have all of his life, due to improper husbandry. He gets around just fine in his tank, but he does not have use of his back legs. He will need a home that will provide calcium-rich foods and will be accepting of his disability.
Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia
Prince: adult, 5-6 years old, undetermined gender, Ball Python. Prince only wants to see you laughing in the purple rain! He would be happy in a 40 gallon tank, but is not quite full grown. He has never missed a meal and loves being handled once out of his enclosure.
Pick up in Decatur
Ginger: adult, 3 years old, female, Bearded Dragon.
Ginger came to us from a hoarding case in south Georgia. She has been with her foster for several months to ensure that she is healthy. She loves to eat and be held and would make a great first pet for a family.
Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia
Otis: juvenile, approx. 2 years old, suspected male, Russian Tortoise. Otis was found wandering by a member of the public who recognised that he was not a native tortoise. They brought him to our rescue where he has been flourishing with his foster mom's creep (good trivia question: this is the term for a group of tortoises!). Otis is a mover and a shaker and loves to climb.
Pick up in Decatur
Truffles: 3 years old, female, Leopard Gecko. Truffles is a beautiful leopard gecko with a fun personality! Her very favorite place to be during the day is in her humid hide, and she enjoys being tweezer-fed her dubia from this spot, also! Truffles has tried superworms a few times with her foster, but she does not digest them well and tends to regurgitate them. However, she is a major fan of dubia roaches and is an excellent eater. Truffles does not seem to be a fan of being held much, as she tends to scurry when you get super close to her. However, she is nosy and observant and will gladly interact with you from her tank. With regular attempts for holding, she will continue to warm up. She will make an excellent pet!
Pick up in Jackson
Tails: 1.5 years old, unknown gender, Madagascar Day Gecko. This species of gecko is definitely hands-off, but they are wonderful observation pets. They do best in taller tanks as they are arboreal. They do need access to some heat and UVB and enjoy a diet of both live bugs and a small amount of Repashy fruit paste (or pieces of fruit).
Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia
Spikes: sub-adult, 1.5 years old, male, Bearded Dragon.
Spikes was previously owned by a child, who outgrew interest, however, he was well cared for in his home and loves to eat. He handles easily with his foster, but will continue to need someone to work with him on handling.
Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia
Scooter: 2 year old, male Bearded Dragon.
Scooter loves to explore and can climb verticle surfaces! He is not super into handling but will tolerate cuddle time if you reward him with food. Like any animal, handling takes time and patience.
Pick up in Statesboro.
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.
Toast: adult, male, Leopard Gecko. Toast is an absolute sweet heart. His foster mom reports that he is doing well with her and enjoys interacting.
Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia
Miss Toad: adult, 4 years old, female, Sulcata.
Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia
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
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 Rockmart, NW Georgia
Nendo: adult, 2 year old male, Leopard Gecko. Nendo is a handleable leopard gecko (within reason for this species), and is super sweet. He loves to stay in his hide and prefers his meals from a bowl as opposed to hunting.
Pick up in Hampton, south of Atlanta
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
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: young adult, male, Leopard Gecko. Calling all gamers, we've got the lizard for you! Kirby loves to eat (just like his namesake) and is always interested in watching you game. He will gladly climb on top of his hide to see you pull out the blue shell in Mario Cart or to check out the newest addition to your Animal Crossing island.
Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia
Puff: adult, 3 years old, male, Green Iguana. Puff is a house greater--he loves to watch everything. He is also very fun to watch. He tolerates handling, but with this species, the more you work on it, the better that gets. He will need someone with prior iguana-handling experience. 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
Fin: adult, undetermined gender and age, Schneider's Skink (suspected). This guy was from a family of reptile enthusiasts who, unfortunately, could no longer keep their animals due to a death in the family. As such, we do not know Fin's age, but he eats well and loves to spend his day submerged in the sand. Applications should detail the adopter's understanding of a species-appropriate habitat.
Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia
Donté: approximately 2 years old, Bearded Dragon. Donté's previous owner loved him very much but was unable to keep him any longer. He had been in a 20 gallon tank but made the transition to a 40 gallon with his foster home. He is a little shy and jumpy at times, but this will improve with continued handling in small doses at his forever home.
Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia
Panther: young adult, Ball Python. Panther still has some growing to do, but it 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
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 cohabitated 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: adult, male, Leopard Gecko. Lemmy is a little shy but very sweet! He loves to hunt his mealworms (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
MJ: adult, 4 years old, undetermined gender, Ball Python.
Pick up in Midway, south of Savannah
Sypha: adult, 1.5 years, female, Crested Gecko. Sypha is very easygoing and can be handled--although it is important to remember that this species is not as handleable as terrestrial geckos. She is an active jumper, too! She takes very well to the crested gecko food but her favorite treats are small mealworms and crickets; she will jump straight to the glass when she knows a treat is coming! Please have an arboreal habitat ready for a successful application.
Pick up in Sugar Hill
Spyro: sub-adult, male, Leopard Gecko. Spyro is a beautiful leopard gecko and loves to come out for dips in his pool and his bugs! He came to us with some shed impaction on his eye, but this has cleared up with proper husbandry (please do not submit applications with heat lamps for this reason). As he is young, he still has some growing to do. He eats well!
Pick up in Decatur
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 is ready for his forever home! Jasper can come with a 20 gallon tank for an additional donation.
Pick up at Bear Creek Nature Center
Loki: adult, 5 years old, undetermined gender, Ball Python. Loki came from a family that was 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. His vet records come with his adoption.
Pick up in Decatur
Pascel: 4-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). As an older girl, she is not as active as she once was and should have lots of climbs to help her get around. Her colors are vibrant! Please note that chameleons should be kept in open-air environments and you can see our page "habitat & diet recommendations" for more information. As she is an older chameleon, her adoption fee is reduced.
Pick up in Atlanta.
Gia: young adult, suspected female, Northern Blue Tongue Skink. As you can see, Gia is a very curious BTS. She handles well and enjoys her meals. Please ensure that applications for Gia include pictures of a species-specific habitat and an understanding of their dietary needs.
Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia
Stitch: adult, 5 years old, Bearded Dragon.
Pick up in Jefferson, near Athens
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
Cacti: adult, 3 years old, female,Bearded Dragon.
Pick up in Jefferson, near Athens
Mercury: sub-adult, female, 1 year old, Savannah Monitor. Mercury came to GHAR from someone who purchased her at a reptile shop but then, after one month of ownership, could not provide care, so we took her in. She is Cryptosporidiosis-positive but is currently in good health. This parasite lives in the gut of lizards and can spread to other reptiles very easily; it does NOT, however, spread to mammals. It is important that her owner not keep other reptiles for their safety. This parasite is usually acquired through poor husbandry, but it is important to note that many lizards have this and can live long, healthy lives. She is currently housed in a 40 gallon tank and would be happy in that size for a while. She has been with two foster families since being in our care and both have said what a nice house guest she is! She loves her bugs, and her current foster mom is working on getting her comfortable with handling. Reduced adoption fee for the right home!
Pick up in Augusta
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
Zappa: adult, 4 years old, undetermined gender Ball Python. Zappa is in good health and enjoys being handled. She came to us from her original owner, who had to move out of the country and sadly could not take Zappa with him.
Pick up in Jefferson, near Athens
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
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 Jefferson, near Athens
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.
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--his foster mom is working with him and handles him once a week.
Pick up in Columbia, SC
Brownie: sub-adult, 2 years 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 specialty vet as she exhibits some slight head wobbles and unusual curling when being handled, 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 can come with what she is in now for an additional donation. Her foster mom handles her regularly; here she is, enjoying being out and about!
Pick up in Brookhaven
Rain: adult, 3 years old, male, Leopard Gecko. Rain is a great gecko who is easily handled (with supervision), and he loves his bugs and his mossy hide. Rain would love a 20-gallon tank with a heat mat and a thermostat, climbs for exploring and a forever home!
Pick up in Athens
Chile: adult, undetermined gender, Crested Gecko. Chile is a lovely crested gecko who still has her tail in tact, which is uncommon for this species once it hits maturity. She will need an arboreal tank with many climbs and areas to hide. This species also needs consistent monitoring of humidity and does best when not handled often.
Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia
Leopald: adult, 6 year old, male, Leopard Gecko. Leopald is a great gecko (he is only middle-aged by gecko standards and so has a lot of spunk left!). He loves to hunt his food and tolerates handling sessions well.
Pick up in Hampton, South of Atlanta
Momo: adult, female, 5 years old, Leopard Gecko. Momo is a very sweet girl that loves to eat (crickets, superworms, and mealworms are all on the menu), and tolerates her handling time very well. Momo came to her foster family with extreme shed complications but has since had several successful sheds with the help of a humid hide. She hasn't let a couple of missing toes slow her down and still enjoys trying to hunt her food (although tweezers may need to be used for especially tricky
Pick up in Savannah
Diablo: adult, female, Leopard Gecko. Diablo is a spicy girl who lives up to her name! She would be a wonderful pet for someone with previous leopard gecko experience.
Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia
Whinny: adult, female, Veiled Chameleon. Whinny is a healthy (younger adult) chameleon who enjoys a variety of bugs daily. She also eats greens when mixed in her bug cup. As is typical for this species, she doesn't like to be handled but doesn't shy away from being interacted with in her habitat. Please see our recommendations for chameleon habitats on our page and note that the smallest habitat size should be avoided.
Pick up in Decatur
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
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
Momo the snake: 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 also easy to handle (not common for such young b.p.s).
Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia,
Toothless: adult, 7 years old, female, Leopard Gecko. Toothless still has a long life ahead of her, so don't be swayed by her age. She came to us with some built up shed on her toes (this can easily happen when the enclosure is too dry), so being aware of her shed will be helpful for her continued health. She is a very interactive gecko in her enclosure, but as is typical with this species, she doesn't like long periods of handling. She can come with a 20 gallon tank for an additional donation if needed.
Pick up in Decatur
Jaws: adult, 4 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 she reports that he is usually a chill, laid-back gecko who enjoys feeding time and is very active when held. He loves head pets, but owners should be cautious when picking him up as he is quick to startle and can bite. Would not be recommended for young children, but Jaws would be a great companion for a gentle handler.
Pick up in Sugar Hill
Katana: adult, 8 years old, undetermined gender, Ball Python. Katana came to us from a home where she was well-taken care of, but her owner had to move and was unable to take her with him. She is very easily handled and is very curious about her enclosure. As an older snake, she doesn't need to eat as regularly as a growing, younger one, and she is currently on medium frozen-thawed rats.
Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia
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. 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.
Grunge: sub-adult, female, Green Iguana. Grunge is young and handleable. She eats very well has the best face! 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.
Spaghetti: sub-adult, 1 year old, male, Leopard Gecko with MBD. Bio coming soon!
Pick up in Athens
Kaiju: adult, 2 years old, male, Blue Tongue Skink: halmahera. This type of BTS is not the standard "northern" type seen in pet stores. They require high humidity (higher than normals) and are not typically friendly. Kaiju needs an owner familiar with this type of BTS and with prior knowledge about what type of enclosure to have ready. Kaiju's foster states he is really fun to watch, and she enjoys having him in her reptile room. His favorite food is snail!
Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia
Pickle: sub-adult, female, Bearded Dragon.
Pick up in Midway, south of Savannah
Penelope: sub-adult, 6 months of age, Leopard Gecko. Penelope is very beautiful and would also make a great gecko for someone who wants to watch their pet grow. We have smaller tanks at our Rockmart location for an additional donation.
Pick up at Bear Creek Nature Center
Squirt: juvenile, under 6 months, Leopard Gecko. Squirt is a very young (and wiggly!) baby who came to us from a reptile show where she was surrendered. She/he is still too young to gender and will take someone with patience to practice handling. This is not unusual for such a young one! Squirt would be a great gecko for someone who wants to watch their reptile grow.
Pick up at Bear Creek Nature Center
Lucy: adult, 3 years of age, suspected male (Lucian?!), Leopard Gecko. "Lucy I'm home!" Lucy is a sweet boy who loves to eat. He would be happy in a 20-gallon tank and can come with a gently used one from the Decatur location for an additional donation.
Pick up in Decatur
Pumpkin: adult, 3 years of age, suspected female, Leopard Gecko. Pumpkin is actually very easy to handle (with supervision) and she has some amazing colors!
Pick up at Bear Creek Nature Center
Rei: adult, male, 4 years old, Crested Gecko. This species is more skiddish than terrestrial geckos and handling should be done with caution. Please make sure your application includes photos of a arboreal habitat suitable for this species.
Pick up in Decatur
Mal: sub adult, under 1 year old, undetermined gender, Crested Gecko. Mal came to us from a family who purchased her, but she was not thriving with them, so they released her to us. She has been doing great with her foster mom and loves Repashy crested gecko paste! She is not wild yet about her occasional bugs, but introducing those will be important as she continues to grow. She is doing very well in a smaller enclosure but will need a larger arboreal enclosure as she grows. Her foster home does have a smaller arboreal enclosure that is available with her adoption for an additional fee. Please be prepared to state on your application that you understand the habitat necessary for this species, as it is different from other terrestrial geckos.
Pick up in Decatur
Samson: adult, 15 years old, male, Boa. Samson has a great personality! He is wonderful with handling and has a good feed response. A boa of Samson's size should be kept in an enclosure at least measuring 6 x 2 x 2.
Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia
Creamsicle: sub-adult, under 1 year old undetermined gender, Leopard Gecko. Creamsicle came to us from a breeder who noticed issues with her gait. She has done well with her foster mom and enjoys hunting her bugs from a bug-proof bowl (this enables her to catch them more easily). She does have a bit of a wobble, but she is very inquisitive and has grown and never missed a meal since being with her foster mom these past few months.
Pick up in Decatur
Sunny: adult, unknown age, suspected male, Crested Gecko. Sunshine came to us from a reptile enthusiast who passed away, so unfortunately, we do not know his age. He is in good health, loves his Repashy gecko food, and loves chasing his occasional crickets. He did, at one point, drop his tail (not uncommon for this species). As he is fully grown, he will need the larger arboreal gecko habitat. Please be prepared to state on your application that you understand the habitat necessary for this species, as it is different from other terrestrial geckos.
Pick up in Decatur
Benecio: sub-adult, 1 year old, male, Leopard Gecko. Benecio does like to be handled and can sit with you out of his tank (with supervision). His foster parents say he is a very sweet little guy who will greet you when he sees you come up to his tank.
Pick up in Augusta
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.
Shatters: adult, female, Leopard Gecko. Shatters is a sweet and easygoing girl who is doing well with her foster. She would make a great first reptile for a family.
Pick up in Rockmart, NW Georgia
Quin: sub-adult, 1.5 years old, undetermined gender, Ball Python. Quin is a great snake for an owner who wants to watch their pet grow. She is very small now and would be happy in a 20-gallon tank for a few more years. She is easily handled and eats one frozen-thawed rat pinky every week.
Pick up in Decatur
Lucky: adult, 2 years old, male, Bearded Dragon. We received a call from the manager at the Buckhead Petsmart that a bearded dragon was left outside by their door and needed immediate care. Lucky was in terrible shape: he was not moving and did not appear to have any ability to do so. We worked with him to triage him and he soon (through the care of his foster) was eating on his own. Once he hit that mark, we knew he might stand a chance. He's been checked over by our exotic vet, and his records come with him upon adoption. He has advanced MBD due to not having had proper husbandry and UV lighting as a juvenile, and he will always have bone deformities in his arms. He should have a 40-gallon tank that has lots of areas for him to explore--surprisingly, he loves to move around and climb. He has a lot of energy for life, and we'd love to see him find someone who will give him his forever home. His favorite food is dandelion greens, but with some tough love from his foster, he now eats all of his greens daily!
Pick up in Monroe, adoption fees reduced due to health issues
