    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.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    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....

this is not the right place to be putting this there is a reptile general supply section a little ways down and to just be warned you better have your tax ID info ready stating that you are a nonprofit rescue because if you dont have that then you are indeed not a rescue at all but a people looking for free animals
 
i am setting up a "rescue" for pets whose owners cant take care of them anymore i never heard of that being wrong so its up to u if i want to help me help my community do it if not dont lecture me about tryin to scam people out of their animals.
 
You've never heard of it being wrong to claim you are something you aren't in order to get free animals and supplies?
Maybe this is a misunderstanding - are you setting up a legitimate reptile rescue (people will want some proof), or are you using the term "rescue" to mean you are willing to take unwanted animals. There is HUGE difference in the eyes of this community.
I think many of us have taken in, fostered, or helped find homes for animals that others wanted to get rid of - I used to do quite a bit of it before I shifted my focus...but I never called myself a rescue.

Will you take in any reptile that is offered?
Do you have the experience to do so?
What will you do with the animals once you have them?
Are you able, and prepared, to provide veterinary treatment?
Are you prepared to provide long term care/housing for several iguanas and large constrictors?
Have you figured out the applicable State and local laws pertaining to reptiles? (of course, in many cases, a legitimate rescue will be issued permits for restricted animals)

On a personal level, I have no problem with you deciding that you want to help people by taking in reptiles they no longer want....I do have a problem with you calling yourself a rescue and soliciting free stuff IF you aren't operating a legally recognized rescue.

My point exactly Harold you just put it in a better package then i ever could thank you brother
 
ok im so sorry i steped on ur feet i didnt realize the reptile community would freak out because a 19 year old kid wants to help tha comuunity he lives in by helping people who have no knowlege of reptiles in the first place and own them. Im not a "buisness" "rescue" "company" "organization" but i do have room in my house for such creatures and i have takin care of many reptiles at one time befor unless u forgot i was "PART" of a "RESCUE" before and i love dealing with animals i never asked for money and iv never even asked for 1 single reptile i asked for "DONATIONS" so i can be prepared to take care of the animals other people are not willing to in my community.
 
This is the answers to the questions that were asked.

Will you take in any reptile that is offered? Yes
Do you have the experience to do so? yes
What will you do with the animals once you have them? Find a home that i can trust for them ( this is no scam i will adopt the not adopt but give cuz adoptions is sumthing "rescues" due to a good home i ask for no money but knowlege of the creature)
Are you able, and prepared, to provide veterinary treatment? i can provide vet treatment if necassary.
Are you prepared to provide long term care/housing for several iguanas and large constrictors? I could do that.
