Desert Reptile Rescue was started in 2005 to assist the hundreds of desert reptiles that are looking for homes across the southern deserts of Nevada. The rescue center is a family operations and run by Lakota Spoolman. Lakota has been a Veterinarian Health Tech for 31 years specializing in emergency medicine.

Great news! Desert Rescue is going totally green by 2011. We will be growing all our own feeds (live feeders and vegetables, and fruits via a massive hydroponics project).

Turtle of the Week!

Stoner - - Stoner is an adult Red-Ear Slider that has been chosen to be the turtle of the week. We named her Stoner because when we clean out the pond, she puts her feet down very cautiously when walking as if she was actually stoned. It is very funny to watch. She has no problem when the pond is full, but when cleaning it is just too funny. So Stoner is our turtle of the week. We have many other Red-ear Sliders available, both sexes and various ages.

                        PLEASE DO NOT ABANDON YOUR REPTILE IN THE PARK OR DUMP INTO THE DUMPSTER!

Bad, Bad, Leroy Brown!

Leroy is one good looking Iguana! He was brought to the center by his owners who did not have enough time for him. He was getting a little out of hand with his temperament due to lack of attention. With male Iguana's, if you don't keep up the attention to them, they will revert back to their male tendencies of being aggressive. Great news... Leroy was adopted in mid-August! We'll miss you Leroy!
