A central UK data base of unwanted reptiles & homes waiting. Mitcham Reptile Rescue was set up because there were to many people who thought it would be nice to have their own reptile after seeing such films as Teenage mutant ninja turtles, Jurassic park, Anaconda ect… without looking deep enough within themselves to do enough research like buying a book for a fiver before purchasing such an animal. Then there is the flip side of the coin, I’m talking about the retailers, there are so many people trying to make a quick buck selling cute little animals like little cuddly Iguanas which they fail to inform you will grow to six foot and beautiful Burmese pythons which I have personally seen on sale in a shop with a card underneath saying “Maximum size 15 feet long”. This is rubbish, females can grow up to THIRTY feet long. I bet most retailers don’t tell you that! There are a few retailers however (to few to my mind) who tell it how it is. Rescue. We started in 1995 & have rehomed many animals over the years but unfortunately due to the heavy financial burden of keeping & maintaining a decent level of care for all the animals we already have in our care, we have decided that we are not able to take in anymore unwanted reptiles, If however circumstances change in the future then hopefully we may be able to reverse this decision. However because the level of unwanted reptiles continues to rise we have started a national data base on this site of all reptiles that need new homes & new homes that are waiting for unwanted reptiles. E-mail me if you wish to be added to the data base or if you wish to be linked to this site.
