Reptile Rescue
Often overlooked, but frequently in need, our scale friends need rescue, too.
At Scale Tales, our dedication to reptile rescue is at the heart of what we do, with many of our education animals being rescues. Reptiles are frequently abandoned due to impulse purchases and the complexities of their care, leading us to emphasize the importance of responsible ownership. If you need to rehome a reptile, we offer a compassionate, judgment-free solution and will ensure they receive any necessary veterinary care before either finding them a new home or incorporating them into our educational programs. Our rescue efforts rely entirely on donations, so we encourage you to support us by donating, purchasing from our Amazon wish list, or providing items from our needs list. For updates on the rescue animals in our care and to follow their progress, be sure to connect with us on social media. Your support helps us continue our mission to care for and educate about these incredible creatures.
