Reptiles

Noah's Ark is home to over 50 reptiles, from tiny snakes to massive alligators?  Although certain species of reptile can be good companions for the right person, many species of reptile should not be kept as pets.  Those animals include giant pythons, venomous snakes, giant tortoises and large lizards such as monitors and crocodilians.  Our rule of thumb at Noah's Ark is "if you can't buy a cage it can live in forever, or if it will outlive you, then you probably shouldn't own it".  We have to turn so many reptiles away each year simply because we don't have the resources to care for them and although some people don't love our cold blooded friends as much as we do, all animals need respect, compassion and protection!
