Turtle of the Week!

Spot - Is a female Red Eared Slider. She is named for the little spots on her shell. We're not sure where she got them, but it seemed appropriate. She has no fear of humans, and like Spike, loves to have the attention. We have plenty more Red Eared Sliders, babies, juveniles and adults, males & females. We offer half price on the adoption fees if you adopt more than one turtle. These turtles are great for outdoor ponds. 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!
