🐍🎄 Happy Holidays from Tails and Scales Reptile Rescue! 🎄🐢

We want to wish everyone a warm, safe, and joyful holiday season, and a happy New Year filled with health, happiness, and hope.

Thank you to all of our supporters, adopters, fosters, and fellow animal lovers for helping us make a difference for reptiles in need this year. We couldn’t do what we do without you.

Here’s to another year of care, compassion, and second chances. 🦎💚

🌿 Help Our Reptile Rescue Prepare for Winter! 🌿

As the cold months approach and our mobility becomes limited, we’re reaching out to our wonderful community for support. Our reptile rescue is in need of new or gently used reptile enclosures, fish tanks, heat mats, and UVB lights to ensure our animals stay warm, healthy, and safe throughout the season.

Your donations make a tremendous difference in the lives of the reptiles we care for. Whether you’re upgrading your own setup or simply have items you’re no longer using, we’d be incredibly grateful for any contributions.

To donate:
Please contact us through messanger to arrange a drop-off at our location in Amsterdam NY

Thank you for helping us create a warm and welcoming environment for our rescue. Your generosity keeps our rescue going strong, and every bit of support helps!

Warm regards,
The Tails and Scales team

This pretty girl is looking for her forever home! Her estimated age is about two years old. She is extremely food motivated and has put on some weight since being here with us. Feel free to dm us for any more information! Our adoption fee is only thirty five. We are located in Amsterdam NY.

Say hello to two of the geckos who graduate their hold today! These two extremely chill leos are ready to go to their forever homes! We've watched over these two for two months now making sure they are healthy 🙂 The first one shown in the picture is under two years old and believed to be female. She is extremely food motivated and is not picky. She doesn't mind being held. The second one shown in the pictures is four years old. He is also extremely food motivated and is not picky. He doesn't mind being help and thinks he's arboreal because he often likes to climb to your head 😂 both of these geckos would make a great addition to a family. The adoption fee for leopard geckos here at our rescue is only $35. Scoop them up while they're here!

Did you know that leopard geckos can live for 10-20 years? They make the perfect pet for someone who wants longevity in a pet! We just got in three leapord geckos today who will be available in two to three weeks after they're cleared for adoption! Stay tuned for pictures of them as we're waiting for them to relax after a car ride!
