Who We Are
Based in Bay City, MI, we are a mother-daughter team who have been doing reptile and small exotics rescue for over 11 years.
Adopting a friend
To submit an adoption application for any of our adoptable animals, please email us at adoptions@michiganreptilerescue.org, with your name, age, location, and the name or id number of the animal in which you are interested. We do not adopt to anyone under the age of 18 without a parent/guardian agreeing to co-sign the adoption contract. Many of our animals have special needs, so please take that into consideration when contemplating an adoption. Adoption fees range from $10-$75 depending on species and other factors....please email us for exact fees for the animal you are interested in.
We require the signing of an adoption contract for the adoption of each and every animal we list as available. If you would like to request a copy of this contract for review, email adoptions@michiganreptilerescue.org.
No animal will be placed into a home until we at MMRR are positive the adopter is fully capable of properly caring for the animal in question, and has appropriate caging and all equipment necessary beforehand. General policy is that only one animal will be adopted to an individual at a time. PLEASE NOTE - our adoption contract contains a strict no-breeding clause, and very few exceptions are made to this rule. Any application requests for multiple animals or a mate for an existing pet will be automatically denied/ignored.
We are able to ship most animals, weather permitting - generally April-October. Potential out-of-state adopters will be responsible for the costs of shipping and obtaining an interstate veterinary health permit which will be included with the animal.
We will not adopt out large constrictors to pet homes, we will not adopt more than one animal to an individual at a time, and we will not ship large animals (10+ lbs).
Standard adoption fees:
Iguana $20-$45
Bearded Dragon $40
Most Tortoise species $40
Ball Python $25
Boa Constrictor $45
Most small colubrids $25
Most gecko species $15
Most aquatic turtles $15
Inquire about adoption fees on other animals. These fees do not even begin to cover the costs we have in to most of the animals, between veterinary care, food, and housing - we prefer potential adopters put their money into the care of the animal, rather than spend a fortune on the actual animal itself.
Please keep in mind that between our busy schedules, animal care, and the many events we participate in, the application process can sometimes take several weeks. Animals are *not* adopted on a first come, first served basis - they will be placed with whomever we determine will make the best home.
Surrenders
If you need to surrender an animal, please email us at surrenders@michiganreptilerescue.org with your name, location, and basic info about your pet. We do not ask for a surrender fee for animals other than green iguanas.
All animals we take in receive necessary vetting, and are quarantined for a minimum of 30 days. This allows us to do a full evaluation of the animal, including addressing any health concerns, checking temperment, and evaluating feeding habits. If an animal is deemed adoptable after that 30 day period, it will be listed and we will begin acepting applications.
