Default Reptile Rescues..

Are there any genuine rescue centres that rehome alot of snakes/reps etc? I seem to see ALOT of adverts but i've got a feeling this is primarily greedy collectors. (No offence to genuine people mind )

I was just thinking i may be better off donating and giving a snake a home rather than buying a new one? When i search locally i dont find anything really. Well appart from the odd "we take unwanted reps" adverts..lol

Or is it just that their isnt many reps that get rescued? Do the rspca have them?

Have a chat with Wohic on here, or Pete at Reptile Zone...

I suspect they'll be able to put you in touch with genuine people in your area or maybe have something themselves.

Sometimes, mainly re-home to people we know and trust really.

We don't Re-home many due to the care needed for some of them as more often than not they come to us in a pretty poor state.
