Abigail's Angels Reptile Rescue

09/29/2026

It is with heavy hearts that we share the loss of the female Uromastyx who recently came to Abigail’s Angels Reptile Rescue alongside the Russian tortoises. 💔

During her veterinary visit last week, Dr. Minson felt something concerning in her abdomen. X-rays revealed that her stomach and intestines were filled with sand. After discussing her condition and treatment options, Dr. Minson and I made the difficult decision to proceed with emergency surgery to remove it.

We hoped so much that surgery would give her a chance to recover. When I called Friday morning to check on her, I received the heartbreaking news that she had passed away during the night.

Even when an animal has only been with us a short time, their life matters deeply to us. We wanted her story to end with healing, comfort, and a loving forever home. Losing her hurts more than words can express.

As Annie and I grieve, there are still other little lives depending on us. Over the past two weeks, we have welcomed many reptiles into the rescue. Every one of them visits our amazing veterinarians, Dr. Coldiron and Dr. Minson at Stoneridge Animal Hospital in Edmond, Oklahoma, for a health check and any treatment they need.

We had just paid off our veterinary balance, but it is already back over $500—and that does not yet include her emergency surgery or treatment for the two Woma pythons I picked up today, both of whom have respiratory infections.

We are reaching out to ask for your help. If you are able to contribute, you can call Stoneridge Animal Hospital at 405-359-3340 during business hours and ask to put a donation toward Abigail’s Angels Reptile Rescue’s veterinary bill. Any amount will help us pay for the care these animals need.

If donating isn’t possible right now, sharing this post is another meaningful way to help.

Annie and I cannot do this alone. Your kindness, encouragement, and generosity help us keep going—even through the heartbreaking days. Thank you for caring about these animals and for helping us give them a chance. 🧡

With love and gratitude,
Angé & Annie

WHAT A CRAZY DAY

I went to go pick up some feeders that was donated to us and then ended up also coming home with a Leopard Gecko that might have MBD and a Bearded Dragon that might have a broken front leg & something wrong with the back legs. These will go to the vet next week along with the 2 Russian Tortoises & Uromastyx.
Then I received a text for another possible intake. I will keep you updated as to what it is and if it will be coming into us.

🐢 HELP NEEDED — FOSTER/ADOPTER NEEDED! 🐢

Good morning on this beautiful Labor Day! 🇺🇸❤️

Annie and I are reaching out to all of our amazing followers for a little help.

Yesterday, we welcomed a female Yellow-Bellied Slider Turtle into the rescue. Sadly, she arrived with nothing more than a kiddie pool. 😔🐢

She is approximately 14 years old and about 12 inches in diameter, so we don't expect her to get much larger.

We are looking for a foster home that would also be willing to adopt her. Because of her size and species, her foster/adopter will need to have an appropriate setup already in place and have some knowledge and experience caring for aquatic turtles.

If you are able to help this sweet girl, or know someone who might be the perfect fit, please reach out to us! ❤️

Our goal is to find her a safe, loving home where she can thrive for the rest of her life. 🐢🏡💕

Thank you all for continuing to support Abigail’s Angels Reptile Rescue and for helping us give these animals the second chances they deserve! 🧡🖤

Please share! You never know who might be the perfect person for her. 🙏🐢
