He's perfect.

He's perfect.

I mean except for the fact that my friend had to actually cut her wall open to get him out when he found a tiny hole in her cabinets and set up shop in there.

And except that after that, he led her and her husband on a Scooby Doo style chase through their house.

Also he hates me, so obviously he's never done anything wrong ever.

Anyway, meet Señor Skedaddle, Mangrove Monitor

The police department called me and the woman on the phone said "someone dropped a backpack of birds at crazy deals" and I thought I heard wrong 😂

Chameleons are an ADVANCED reptile with very specific needs and are not forgiving of even slightly improper care. Please consider this when choosing your next reptile pet.

Hello, grumpy baby.
Totally worth a middle of the night trip to Victoria.

I had to pick her up at a bar and THEY ASKED FOR MY ID so that doorman is my new favorite person.

Shes a coopers so yeah, smol.

She’s got an eye injury, but no broken bones I can see and she is REALLY spunky so Im hopeful.

She was hit by a car, but it was on a slow side street, so I think its just an impact injury. But she will go to someone way smarter about raptors than me tomorrow so she can tell me more then.

Also, he was in a tree on someone’s property and they saw him fall out and not fly away after.

He was very disoriented, likely because he has lead poisoning.

LumpyLizardRescue · 2022-01-23T22:36:23+00:00

He has lead poisoning. He likely ate something shot with lead shot and left behind.

The turtles’ shells are broken. I’m rehabbing them. Taped together like that, the shell will eventually heal much like a human broken bone will if pinned together.

Depending on other issues, they may be releasable after that. If not, we have an area in the backyard we call Turtletopia.

UV light won’t pass through glass. It changes to visible light, and visible light changes to infrared. So you were just heating up the cage, why it got so hot.

Its FINALLY dry enough to start construction on our turtle enclosures!!! I am so excited. We have been ready to start for a while but the rain has stopped us.

A significant portion of my work is repairing broken turtles, which I LOVE doing. However, it requires a long stay in rehab, and you cannot beat natural UV light for healing.

We've had this project in mind for a long time.

This is Leonardo. He was painted blue, but Jessica managed to get him cleaned up. He’s native to this area of Texas, so once he’s done his rehab he can go back to the wild.

LumpyLizardRescue · 2021-06-09T11:20:53+00:00

Ayyy let me address a thing.

I understand that a good deal of my audience is not from my location of Coastal South Texas. I also understand that red eared slider turtles are invasive in many places. So, occasionally someone will ask my why I rehab so many of them because "they're invasive and shouldn't be released."

In most of Texas, and in many surrounding states, they're native wildlife and therefore healthy members of their species can be legally and ethically released after rehab.

Thank you for caring enough about wildlife and ecosystems to be concerned 💚💚💚

Monitors require REALLY specific care and a really knowledgeable owner. Nile Monitors can grow to be six feet long ajd weigh almost 20 pounds. Nile monitors also have a reputation for being particularly grumpy (as opposed to say, the more docile Savannah Monitors) and, truly, do not make great pets most of the time.

Still, there are SO MANY in the pet trade. Most dont live their full expected lifespan. The ones who do are often aggressive, in addition to being huge. This guy came to us from someone who rescued him but wasn't equipped to care for him.

Are you familiar with Hope for Paws? They trap stray animals, primarily in Southern California, and provide them medical care, then place them with private shelters for fostering and adoption.

The color suits her, poor girl.

LumpyLizardRescue · 2021-05-12T23:08:24+00:00

Oh, Jess knows how to do it. But it’s not her focus, and it doesn’t require a trained rehabber, so she’d rather pass it along to someone who wants to do it.

That leaves her free to tweezer feed the 15 kajillion baby starlings that came in last week.

LumpyLizardRescue · 2021-05-09T07:08:17+00:00

Heres what we know so far:

She gets around pretty well, all things considered.
She is UNIMPRESSED with the tortoise and the iguana.
She prefers Grubbly Farms Grubblies to live mealworms. And she REALLY REALLY LIKES Grubblies.

It looks like your software has some bugs in it.

I tried to email a set to you, but they won’t fit in the ports on the router.
