12/13 - Adoption Event at My Pet Store and More Columbia; Event Details Available Here -->
Species: Boa Constrictor
Description: Brown & Tan
Age: Unknown
Gender: Male
Info: Meet Krackle, the abandoned boa with layers of dry, stuck shed that made him sound like rice krispy cereal with every movement - hence the name Krackle. He was transferred to us from Prince William County, VA, on August 30th. He arrived in such rough shape that we went straight to the vet that night. Krackle had layers of stuck shed, a swollen mouth that wouldn't close, a clogged nose with damaged scales, was dehydrated and underweight, and had a respiratory infection. In the two months that he has been with us, Krackle has made improvement but is still battling the respiratory infection which keeps him in quarantine and limits how much we can handle him.
Requirements: Proper sized cage (minimum 4x2x2 gallon breeder), proper substrate, proper hides and basking spot, proper heat, proper UVB, and proper diet. Not to be used as a breeder.

Species: Chinchilla
Description: Dark gray
Age: ~4 months old
Gender: Female
Info: Mimi was a transfer from Frederick County Animal Control. She is a sweet but shy girl who is warming up to socializing. Mim would do best in a home with previous chinchilla experience, teens or adults, and the ability to have daily time out of her cage in a supervised play area. As social creatures, they do best in pairs and groups when appropriately bonded.
Chinchillas are naturally skittish, but will bond closely with their owners with time and enjoy affection and playtime. As with any smaller pet, you need to be sure you are approaching them slowly and respectfully as to not startle them and give them the time they need to warm up to you/your family.
They eat Oxbow Essentials Chinchilla Food, Oxbow Timothy Hay, Oxbow treats and the occasional Goji berry.
Requirements: Proper sized cage with plenty of hiding places, enrichment, play time out of their cage, proper diet and supplements.

Species: Bearded Dragon
Description: Tan
Age: ~ 6-7 years old
Gender: Female
Info: Gemma is sweet and mild mannered dragon. She enjoys her veggies and bugs. She is missing the tip of her tail due to a previous, unknown injury. Gemma does best with having her greens soaked in water. She has been vet checked and cleared for adoption! Gemma will require a minimum 4'x2'x2' enclosure to give her lots of room to move. A PVC enclosure is recommended as it greatly reduces stress responses to glass and reflections.

Proper sized cage (minimum 4'x2'x2') with hides, basking spot, food dish, and shallow water dish.
Proper substrate (paper towels, non-adhesive shelf liner, slate tiles, or bioactive substrate).
