Our Mission In Life
Our mission is to act as a rescue organization for reptiles that have
been injured, neglected, mistreated or are otherwise unwanted. This
entails:

a) providing temporary homes for reptiles in need, and

b) finding appropriate new homes for those reptiles

-Educate the public about reptiles.

-Promote awareness of proper husbandry and maintenance
practices for reptiles.

-Promote environmental conservation, especially related to
herpetological concerns

-Promote captive breeding as the best source of pet-trade reptiles,
while recognizing that certain species must be obtained from the wild
in order to maintain genetically sound captive breeding programs

-Protect the rights and represent the interests of individuals to
maintain, breed, and sell reptiles in a responsible manner.

-Provide assistance to authorities in public safety and community
leaders with regards to questions about reptile and amphibian
ownership and identification of unknown animals
