    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hi everyone, this is my first post here so sorry if I miss anything. As my first corn is from a large commercial breeder (BHB) it seems appropriate that my second should be a rescue! Repticon Salt Lake City is at the end of May and a rescue group called International Reptile Rescue will be attending with adoptable animals. Has anyone adopted from them before? I am having trouble finding any great amount of information about their program. If they are legit, and have any handleable corns with them, I would love to bring one home with me from the Repticon. Thanks for any info!

I've seen these, but thanks I appreciate it :) I was just wondering if anyone had had a personal experience, or even had seem them at a repticon and remembered the health of their animals. I guess the biggest factor will be what I see when I get there.
 
I see that this thread is quite old. I was looking for info on them because I see them around at shows in Portland and their prices seem very high for "adoption fees," more than what a breeder would charge. I purchased a used cage with supplies from them for a reasonable price last year ($90 for a decent size tank with sliding lid, UTH, lamp and decor) but I am not convinced that they aren't flippers taking in pets under the guise of a rescue to make a quick buck. I wonder if they can provide any 501(c)3 info or other documentation proving that they are a legitimate rescue.
