Yuma, Arizona · 501(c)(3) Reptile Rescue
Some animals wait years for the right person. Maybe that's you.
Without intervention, most surrendered reptiles don’t survive rehoming. We step in, stabilize them, and match each one with someone who’s genuinely ready — not just willing.

Our Work
Reptiles most rescues turn away. We take them in.
General shelters hold reptiles in cold rooms in the wrong substrate, feeding the wrong prey, with no UVB. Most don’t survive it. We’ve taken in over 200 animals since 2019 — every one receives species-correct housing, a structured acclimation period, and a placement process designed to end the cycle of repeat surrenders.

One of these animals has been waiting for someone exactly like you.
We do the hard part first. Every animal is acclimated, health-checked, and matched with detailed care notes before you ever meet them. We’re not placing animals fast — we’re placing them right.

- 01Do you take dogs or cats?
- No. Beauties of the Beasts is a reptile-only rescue. We do not accept dogs, cats, birds, or small mammals. If you are trying to rehome one of those species, please contact a local humane society or shelter — we keep a list on our contact page.
- 02What reptiles do you accept?
- We take in snakes (non-venomous), lizards, turtles, tortoises, and amphibians. We can usually accommodate common species (ball pythons, boas, bearded dragons, leopard geckos, tegus, monitors, red-eared sliders, sulcatas, etc.) and work case-by-case with more unusual animals. We do not accept venomous species or animals requiring federal permits we do not hold.
- 03How do I surrender a reptile?
- Fill out the surrender form on our Surrender page with your reptile’s species, age, setup, and a recent photo. We’ll follow up within 72 hours to discuss next steps. We will never judge you for needing to rehome an animal — but please know our space is limited and we cannot always accept every animal immediately.
- 04How do I adopt a reptile?
- Review our adoptable reptiles, then submit an adoption application through the form on that page. We review applications carefully — experience level, enclosure readiness, and species fit all matter. We would rather take our time than place an animal poorly.
