Scientific Officer looking at exotics/trade Scientific Officer

Hello, I work with the RSPCA, rescuing injured, abandoned and mistreated reptiles; everything from Corn Snakes to Crocodiles. At the moment I have a number of reptiles needing new homes. Every reptile has been with me for at least 2 weeks, some months, and are treated for things like mites...

Interesting article in RSPCA magazine on exotics. In a nutshell they see exotics as a growing problem for them so they are training some inspectors to be "exotics officers". They are also developing more exotic facilities at their centres. The campaign is very much about encouraging research...

yesterday at 7am I was woken up by yet another RSPCA visit! I am really getting sick and tired of it now. Like an idiot I thought oh whatever, Ill let them in (esp as one of the inspectors seemed fine, the other was all silent) No problems at all, showed the room and nothing wrong. They asked if...

It has been reported numerous times that the Police, acting for the RSPCA, have seized animals, equipment and paperwork - and the owner is met with a flat refusal when attempts are made to recover seized items. In many counties, the Police forces actively protect the RSPCA against complaints and...

I have just been asked to comment on the RSPCA campaign against the keeping of reptiles as pets, this was in relation to the Five Pledges the RSPCA made a year or so ago. Pledge 5 was to reduce the number of exotics kept as pets and increase their humane care. A few people commented on this at...

So this is extract from RSPCA review 2013. Please do not turn this into an RSPCA bashing thread. If you want to post rumours/myths or generally moan about the RSPCA please start another thread. Does anyone have any information on what the RSPCA is doing to "investigate the trade" and what...

I am a member of a bearded dragon page on Facebook. Yesterday, another member posted a photo of her dragon which had had its foot severely bitten by another one it was housed with. She said it had happened yesterday, but is now saying it happened a week ago. Yes, she's left the poor dragon...

Anyone else noticed this - seems like a good idea to me. We ask the government to investigate the RSPCA's activities, especially where they infringe civl or legal rights. - e-petitions

Backlash against the badgering RSPCA | Mail Online Yes i know it's the mail :whip:

Have had this bookmarked for some time now, but thought I would share it with people in case anyone was looking to rescue an adult rather than buy hatchlings and stuff. RSPCA - Reptile Rescue I know not everyone understands or likes the RSPCA and I dont want this turned into yet another...

Hi, Sorry if this is a re-post but it may be interesting for people to read/debate. http://www.rspca.org.uk/ImageLocator/LocateAsset?asset=document&assetId=1232714755138&mode=prd What are your thoughts on this?

As the title says, I've just had the RSPCA round, apparently, I've been reported as having 'a very dangerous snake'... I assume they mean my burm! They said it was reported earlier today, I think it was when I was going to the bin outside, had him with me and he hissed at the local kids because...

Watching Emergency Animal Rescue on Pick TV (channel 11 freeview) and I've seen that they have to recues some snakes and spiders, I wonder what it will be like? Just in case anyones bored and wants something to watch Lol

Saw this article in the grimsby telegraph, just thought is it was horrible how anyone could do this, pouring bleach on two corn snakes and in front of an rspca officer. the article says about the fact they belonged to the womans daughter and she didn't want them anymore and the rspca wouldn't...
