SAVING SNAKES, ONE RELOCATION AT A TIME!
𝗠𝗘𝗘𝗧 𝗣𝗔𝗧 — 𝗔𝗡𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗘𝗥 𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗢𝗙 𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗦𝗡𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗢𝗘𝗦
Did you know that Carolina Waterfowl Rescue offers a FREE snake relocation program? We're proud to work alongside some incredible people who share our passion for protecting these often misunderstood animals!
Today, we'd like to introduce you to Pat D. Waggon Patrick Kamberos (Pat), co-owner of Cold Blooded & Bizarre, a unique reptile and exotic animal shop located in Charlotte's Plaza Midwood neighborhood.
But Pat is so much more than a reptile shop owner!
When he's not running his business, Pat spends an incredible amount of time helping reptiles in need, coordinating rehabilitative care for injured snakes, and researching reptiles around the world.
His passion for these animals goes far beyond the walls of his store.
𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗧𝗛𝗔𝗡 𝗝𝗨𝗦𝗧 𝗔 𝗥𝗘𝗣𝗧𝗜𝗟𝗘 𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗣!
Founded in 2019, Cold Blooded & Bizarre has become a wonderful resource for reptile enthusiasts and wildlife lovers throughout the Charlotte area.
The shop specializes in reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates, but what makes it especially meaningful to us is the commitment to animal welfare, rescue, and education.
Pat and his team have helped reptiles in need of rehabilitation and rehoming, worked alongside wildlife rescue organizations, and dedicated themselves to teaching the public about these fascinating animals.
We're incredibly proud to partner with Pat and Cold Blooded & Bizarre to help protect our local snakes.

Every year, countless snakes are killed simply because someone is frightened of them.
But snakes aren't out looking for trouble. They're simply trying to survive, find food, and live their lives.
Our FREE snake relocation program helps connect people with volunteers who can safely relocate snakes when necessary, giving these animals a chance to live instead of being killed.
Our network includes independent wildlife rehabilitators, experienced reptile handlers, rescuers, and volunteers who generously contribute their time and resources.
People like Pat are an important part of making these efforts possible!
🙋 𝗪𝗘 𝗡𝗘𝗘𝗗 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗦𝗡𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗢𝗘𝗦!
We're actively recruiting additional volunteers to expand our snake relocation network!
Whether you're an experienced snake handler, a wildlife rehabilitator, or someone interested in learning how to help, we'd love to hear from you.
The more volunteers we have, the more communities we can serve and the more snakes we can save.
𝗡𝗘𝗘𝗗 𝗔 𝗦𝗡𝗔𝗞𝗘 𝗥𝗘𝗟𝗢𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗗?
Our snake relocation service is completely FREE, although assistance depends on volunteer availability in your area.
Please don't attempt to handle an unfamiliar snake yourself. Keep your distance and contact an experienced relocator for assistance.
