Currently At The Rescue:

As of April 4, 2008 we have no reptiles available for adoption at the rescue. Thanks for all the applications and great homes for the last four reptiles we placed! We have others scheduled to come in, so please check back soon.

Also, please keep in mind there are always plenty more reptiles outside the rescue also available for adoption, listed on the Public Reptile Adoption Forum. Last I checked, there were several snakes, turtles and lizards on the forum that need new homes so please check it out! Thanks.

Beautiful Adult Green Iguana [Recently placed in new home.]

Baby Sulcatta Tortoise [Recently placed in new home.]

Adoption Fees

Our goal at Forgotten Friend is to place our reptiles in the best homes. Unfortunately, offering "free reptiles" does not produce the best applicants. That's why we always set adoption fees for our rescued reptiles. These fees are based on a variety of factors, including retail value. Before trying to adopt a reptile with us, we strongly suggest you read over the adoption ground rules listed in our Code of Ethics to determine if reptile adoption through Forgotten Friend would be a good option for you. Here's what our Code of Ethics has to say about adoption fees:

"We reserve the right to set adoption fees at our discretion. These fees are based on a variety of factors including retail value. Adoption fees serve to protect reptiles from individuals who would wrongfully adopt them for commercial purposes. 100% of adoption fees go toward operating expenses at Forgotten Friend. We aim to keep any fees significantly lower than "market prices" to make reptile adoptions more affordable to good homes. We also reserve the right to lower or waive adoption fees at our discretion if it helps place reptiles in the best homes. ."
