Welcome to Part 2 of Little RES Q's Adoption Process

Do you know which reptile you're looking to adopt? If not, you can browse our available animals here.

To move on to the final step in the adoption process, please read the policies and follow the instructions at the bottom of the page.

All prospective adopters must fill out and submit an adoption application form and answer all questions completely and honestly.

You will also be asked to provide Government issued photo ID (health cards are not accepted) and a photo of your enclosure after the form is complete. We cannot provide services to those under the age of 18.

Once an adoption application has been received, Little RES Q will attempt to ascertain the knowledge, experience, and capabilities of the potential adopter has with regard to providing proper care for the reptile in question.

 

Adoption Fees

Adoption fees vary from animal to animal. Our adoption fees will be based on many things: the retail value, the level of care it will need, vet treatment, and likelihood of finding a good home.

Adoption fees are not final, and we may alter them if we deem it appropriate and necessary to placing the animal in the best home. In general, though - if you can't afford our minor adoption fee, it will certainly raise a question about your ability to care for the animal.
