Ok, I have seen these guys advertising on craigslist for awhile, and I just headed over to their webpage. They claim to be a legit rescue, but yet their caresheets are TERRIBLE (at least the Bearded dragon one is for sure), and they advertise more heavily that "Any reptile you want, we can get it"...does anyone else see this as fishy? Even this pics of the "rescued" animals appear to be pictures with their own children, as it amazes me that one family adopted all those dragons and the BP....
Here's the website...

From a very quick look it appears as though they are looking to take in animals which will later be put up for sale.

I could be wrong but thats what it looks like to me.

And Im not really a fan of the "we can get any reptile" thing. Hmmm.

i agree it apears to be someone that has made a half as" site wanting to rescue snakes and then turn them around. and there care sheets are funny no latin name on the milk snakes and then the boas latin name isnt the full name it just says latin name: boa constrictor ...... not a fan this site smells fishy

I don't consider a rescue legitimate until they have a 401 (c) (3). Too many people see nothing wrong with selling a reptile they have taken in as a rescue. And the cycle continues.......

Exactly. Just because you take in "unwanted" reptiles does not make you a rescue. Especially if you are selling them!!! :machinegun:

It's sad, so many people want free animals so they call themselves "rescues". :machinegun:

It doesn't seem that they have a 401c3, as they refer to themselves multiple times as a "company". It does appear that they are looking to take in peoples unwanted reptiles and resell them to other people that will end up giving them up to a shelter later on. I would look up the proper authorities in their area and refer them to the fact that they are misrespresenting themselves as a rescue.
