Many reptiles are unintentionally lost by their owners every year
these reptiles can fall easy prey to other animals.
Can you find the Savannah Monitor hiding in this picture?
This is a hybrid tortise that is a cross between an African Spur Thigh and a Leopard Tortise, he had been kept in an aquarium and fed a diet of lettuce. As a result he was severly malnourished and his shell was soft and rubbery. He had been abandoned at a pet store when the owner was unable to sell him. He recieved extensive calcium, vitamin and mineral supplimentation and after a year his shell finally had hardened and he found a new loving family.
A Burmese Python like this one
was found in a public park in Whittier, Ca.
Imagine finding her in your back yard!!!
She had a severe case of Pneumonia, and Mouth Rot
She required injectable Antibiotics and Tube fed water for several months
before she could go to her new home
This Albino Burmese Python
was abandoned at a pet Shop
with a severly fractured spine.
This Iguana was turned in with a gaping wound on his chin
He was severly dehydrated and emaciated
He only survived a few days
This poor Red Tail Boa was suffering from a head injury!!!
This injury occured when the owner accidentally stepped on him!
This poor snake was not kept in a cage
but was allowed free run of the owners apartment
He did not respond to Veterinary care and had to be put down
This poor Savannah Monitor was abandoned at a pet store
He had such a severe case of calcium deficiency
that his jaw was like rubber
almost all of his bones had multiple fractures
He was totally Paralized and had to be put down
This Savannah Monitor was found in a plant nursery
She was weak, Emaciated and Dehydrated
She had such severe liver damage due to starvation that she could not be saved.
This poor Monitor lost tail and many of his toes!!!
the injuries were caused by an unknowledgable pet sitter
When she placed him ino a "hot" Bath
she stated that since she loved a hot bath... so should he!!!
He required 3 surgeries on his tail to save his life!!
He remained on antibiotics for nearly a year
and had to learn to walk all over again !
Tiny was 2 years old when this picture was taken
He was turned in to Animal Control by his owner
when nobody would take him!!
he was just over 5 inches in snout to vent length!!!
He also suffered severe spinal deformities
His preious owner only fed him lettuce!!!
This little Savannah Monitor was abandoned at a pet store. The owners admitted that she had not eaten in aproximatly 6 months. She was skin and bone, could not walk or open her eyes. She is being tube fed and is showing slow improvement, the mucsle tremors from her Calcium deficency have almost stopped and she is gaining strength daily. I was determined not to give up on her as long as she did not give up on herself!! We lost the battle after 4 months of tube feeding when her liver finally failed. She never opened her eyes for more than a few minutes at a time or gained enough strength to crawl more than a few inches!
This poor Iguana was a family pet
When his owner left him at a pet store
She insisted that he was fine yesterday!!!
This Beautiful Retic was as calm and nice as the best Burmese
Shortly after her she went to her new home, she was discovered dead in her cage
The autopsy revieled a "No Pest Strip" lodged in her intestinal tract!
It was determined that she died of slow insecticide poisioning!
If her previous owners had been more careful, she would not have died!
This is not a Skink! This is a young Savannah Monitor that was turned in by it's owners who were trying to convert it into a vegetarian! Please Please Please! Learn about the type of reptile you want to purchase BEFORE you bring it home!!! He died a couple of hours after they brought him here, he could not move, open his eyes or lift his head! When I opened the box he was in I thought he was already dead!
