Hello everyone, my name is Crystal. I am a married mother of 2 living in Phoenix, AZ. Reptiles have been a passion of mine since I was a child. I run a reptile rescue out of my home, I take in reptiles that can no longer be cared for by their owners, are living in unsafe and poor living environments, or have been abandoned.
Since the beginning, in 2021, I have been completely self-funded and have had the opportunity to rescue, rehabilitate, and care for many reptiles. Running a rescue comes with a lot of cost and unfortunately I am running low on funds to continue to expand my rescue and take in more reptiles in need.
Over the past month alone I have rescued 14 reptiles, including tarantulas, bearded dragons, geckos, a monitor, and a chameleon.
All funding received will go towards the necessary supplies needed to keep the rescue running and expanding. This includes more enclosures, lighting, accessories, any necessary medical expenses, as well as funds to create a larger area to accommodate more reptiles in need of rescuing.
My goal is to rescue 100 reptiles in need by the end of the year. With your help and generous donations we can make that possible and help get these reptiles the proper care that they deserve. I will continue to update as donations are received and any items are bought with donations.
Please help me make my dream a reality. I truly appreciate all donations and support towards my rescue.
