At 6:40 PM today (June 17th) this person stole our beloved resident tortoise Howard. Many of our customers know Howard and love interacting with Howard on their visits to the store. Howard has an Outdoor Pin directly in front of our store for daily sunlight and fresh air. He was tanken from his pin and violently shoved into this car as they sped off. We are asking the community of Colorado Springs and the entire reptile community to help reunite us with Howard. Howard has been our resident pet since 2011. Any information regarding Howard's abductor is greatly appreciated.

We have one beautiful Male CBB Cuviers Wedgehead Dwarf Caiman looking for a new pond. This animal is flawless and has been raised on croc chow and a plethora of other prey. He has a pretty calm disposition but hasn't been handled a ton. This animal is from our 2019 clutch of Captive Bred Caiman. Please message us for details on this beautiful Cuviers Dwarf Caiman.

Here are photos of the Ball Python Morphs that were stolen this morning from our store. Snake patterns and colors are like finger prints. No two snakes will have the same exact markings in the world. We believe they will attempt to resell these ball python morphs via Facebook marketplace or craigslist. If you see these animals being posted on any ball python pages or in any reptile groups at all please reach out to us. Our primary concern is the welfare of these animals and keeping them safe. Thank you to everyone who has reached out and offered to help in any way. We appreciate you all Scales Fam let's bring these snakes back home.

Scales N Tails Colorado Springs was burglarized early this morning at 4:50 am. We have found that 5 ball pythons and 6 bearded dragons were stolen along with a cage and cage decor. If you know anything about this or the animals take please reach out to us and help us recover these animals. We fear they will not get proper care and are in grave danger. Please contact us if you have any leads or can help identify these degenerates. We will be posting a follow up with photos of the ball python morphs that were stolen from us.
