Below are the animals we currently have available for adoption. Each animal has its own personality, history, and care needs.
They’re all looking for safe, committed forever homes where they can thrive and flourish.
Most of our rescues have come from surrender, neglect, or illness and we’ve worked hard to rehabilitate them with proper husbandry and individualized care.

Male Adult Leopard Gecko
Hi, I’m Bruno!
I came to Reigning Reptile Rescue in January 2025 after my previous home realized I needed more care than they were able to give. I was loved, but I was originally kept by a young keeper who couldn’t meet all my needs — so their family made the kind decision to surrender me.
I’m doing much better now! I’m a fantastic eater (maybe a little too enthusiastic — I’m currently working off a few extra grams with a healthy diet of gut-loaded dubia roaches, fed by tongs 1–2 times a week). I had a bite wound from a curious house cat when I first arrived, but don’t worry — it’s fully healed and hasn’t given me any trouble.
I’m a bit shy and not the biggest fan of handling — I prefer to chill in my own space and just watch the world go by. But with time, patience, and some gentle trust-building, I think I could come around. I’m looking for a calm home where I can have proper lighting, heat, hides, and space to be myself. I promise I’ll thrive with the right setup and a little understanding.
I require : a 40 gallon enclosure minimum so that I can have a proper heat gradient, a heat lamp (halogen or deep heat projector to keep me nice and healthy), a linear UVB light that’s replaced annually to keep my bones strong and to prevent metabolic bone disease, a dimming thermostat to regulate my temps, and an enriching tank full of hides and clutter so I can feel safe.
Male Juvenile Bearded Dragon
Hey there, my name is Bart.
I haven’t always had it easy, but things are finally looking up for me.
I was rescued in March 2025 after being listed on Facebook Marketplace. I was kept in a tank that was too small, with no heat, no UVB, and I wasn’t eating well. I was weak, malnourished, and honestly… I wasn’t sure I was going to make it.
But my new friends here took me in, syringe-fed me food and water that first week, and gave me everything I’d been missing — a bigger enclosure, proper heat, and that sweet, sweet UVB.
And now? I’m thriving.
These days, I’m active, curious, and love watching the humans go about their day. I eat like a champ — gut-loaded dubia roaches, mealworms, and fresh veggies every day (especially dandelion greens… they’re my favorite — but only if they’re pesticide-free!).
I’m still young, still growing, and really just getting to know what it feels like to be healthy and safe.
What I’m looking for now is a forever home — someone who understands my needs, who’ll keep up with my lighting, temperature, and nutrition, and give me space to grow into the big, bold dragon I’m meant to be.
I require : a 75 gallon enclosure minimum but I dream about a 120 gallon enclosure. I’m young and small but as I grow I’ll require a lot more space. It’s the best investment to start me in a larger tank now instead of having to upgrade later on as I grow. I need a strong linear UVB light that’s replaced annually to keep me strong and to prevent metabolic bone disease, a strong heat lamp (halogen or deep heat projector are best for me) to create a basking spot, and a dimming thermostat to go on that heat lamp to create a proper heat gradient.
2 Adult Female Red-Eared Slider Turtles
Available for Adoption
Can Be Adopted Separately
Hi there! We’re Marshall Lee and Soup.
Two red-eared slider ladies who have been together our whole lives.
We were adopted as tiny hatchlings from a pet store over 10 years ago and have been side-by-side ever since. After spending a decade in the same 70-gallon tank, we started to get a little snippy with one another and our person made the hard choice to surrender us so we could each have more room to thrive.
Now we’re living the good life in separate enclosures here at the rescue, soaking up proper UVB, basking on warm platforms, and enjoying clean, filtered water with heaters to keep us cozy. We even laid eggs this spring — talk about strong, healthy girls!
We’re both adult females, full grown, and looking for loving forever homes where we can continue living our best turtle lives. We don’t need to be adopted together — we’re happy to go our separate ways as long as each of us gets a proper setup.
Each of us needs: A 100–120 gallon tank, a strong filtration system (we’re messy girls!), a water heater to keep our environment warm, a basking area with both a heat lamp and UVB light that gets replaced annually & a diet of turtle pellets, leafy greens, and occasional treats like bugs or shrimp!
