Turtle

I'm Jasper, a 6 year old male. There's also a horse here at the sanctuary named Jasper, but I'm the handsome one. Ask anybody. I was starved and terrified when I arrived but my recovery has been steady and I have a great appetite. I LOVE my net and come out every night to hang out there. I am not quite ready to really trust people yet, and while I never strike, I am shy. If you are patient and willing to wait for me to gain trust, I can be a good companion for the right person.

Hi, I'm Naelex, a 4 year old male with striking chocolate and golden markings. When I arrived I was dangerously dehydrated and underweight, but I've responded very well to care and the vet says I can go to a forever home! Like most Royal pythons I  stay hidden during the day but like to explore and climb at night. I'm not very fearful or defensive, but can be a little shy at first. Because of the neglect I suffered, I may always be on the small side but I never refuse meals! If you let me take my own time as I get to know you, I'll do well with you. 

Greetings, I'm Mars, an 8 year old with stunning deep espresso and gold markings and a cute upturned nose that fits my Roman god name. The vet tells me my nose is just fine, and that I'm a healthy guy. I love to explore and climb, and will be a great companion to my new family who hopefully will let me free roam now and then (I really enjoy that!) I love my hanging hammock and you'll see me use it every day so be sure to include a net in my habitat! 

Hi, I’m Teyla, and I am a 6 year old female. My favorite things are eating, lounging in my favorite sky hide just watching the world go by, and as you can see in my photo, I also like to do a bit of climbing and exploring. Until I got to the sanctuary I was confined to a rack with no real chance to experience enrichment or interact with people, so be kind and patient with me - but I'm not defensive, I'm becoming more curious and outgoing every day, and I am absolutely ready for a family of my own. 

My name is Cinta, and at just over a year old, I am still a youngster! I'm a very pretty girl with swirly chocolate markings highlighted with yellow and deep gold. Because I was not subjected to years of neglect, I recovered physically pretty quickly, but I was unsocialized and fearful. With time and patience my natural curiosity is shining through, and I come out every night to climb and explore. Since I'm also healthy and have a good appetite, I am ready for a forever home as long as my new family remembers that I am just a youngster and will need time and patience to feel secure. 

Hi, I’m Dahlia and am a 4 yr-old female. I really enjoy climbing - I almost never touch the ground and I love sky hides! I'm not defensive and am becoming more outgoing every day, though am cautious about being handled, so be patient with me. I have a good appetite and I do well with target training - which will give my new family a great opportunity to set up positive interactions with me! I'm intelligent, curious, and ready for a wonderful new life.

I'm Aldhani, a  6 year old female with rich, dark markings. I'm one of the only snakes in the group who arrived in good body condition, so recovery has been focused on socializing me. I'm bright and alert, and have slowly gotten more comfortable around people. I'm curious, but reserved - think of me as a bit of an introvert. I'm strong, active, and assertive and would do best in a family without young children. Taking things slowly will earn my trust, and continuing with my target training will be a great way to build that trust. For the right person I have the potential to be a good companion.

I'm Tauriel, a 4 year old female. When I came to the sanctuary I was very underfed and quite shy and scared. Since then, I've gained about 125 grams and my confidence has grown a lot. Now I explore my enclosure and use my hammock. I am still shy when first introduced to people, but am not overly fearful or defensive. I have a great appetite and the sanctuary vet says I am ready to find my forever home.

 I'm Dax, a 5 year old female, and yes, I am really cute! I have the Spider gene that causes wobble, so you need to think about whether you are the right home for me. But if you become my forever family, you won't regret it! You should know that my wobble isn't slight - it's moderate, and I sometimes sit in odd positions or can't orient myself. But this doesn't stop me! I am very curious and outgoing, I like to explore or even free roam in a safe room, and I like to sit at the front of my enclosure to see what's going on. I am VERY food-motivated so continuing with my target training will help with my wobble as well as protect your fingers! I'm not the right companion for everyone but if you can accommodate my wobble, are OK with just light handling, and can provide a calm environment, I have very strong pet potential. 

I'm Aslan and at 9 years old, I'm easy-going with a mellow attitude and a good appetite - those who know me describe me as "a big, quiet guy who's a good boy".  I am a little shy but not defensive, and I love to be up high in my enclosure, so please give me a sky hide and a hammock! I am ready for a family of my own, so if you'd like a snake who is calm and curious but a bit of a homebody (I don't have much interest in free roaming), then I'm your guy.
