Dulce is a juvenile green iguana on the youngish side (probably about four months old). We think she is female–but iguanas show their dimorphism later on so be prepared for anything! Iguanas are herbivores and need non-oxalic leaves for food like kale, collards, and mustard greens plus lots of other fruit and veg for a good diet. They need sun and humidity and can get quite large. Recommended for experienced reptile keepers.

LeBeef is an adult blue-tongued skink, probably female. These winsome creatures from Australia are omnivores (both insects and plants) and need a varied, warm habitat. Some experience with reptile keeping would be preferable.

Mexi is an adult female Ctenosaurus acanthura, a northeastern spinytail iguana from Mexico. She is wild-caught and not tame but not vicious, just shy and retiring. She eats mostly greens but occasionally will eat superworms and dubia roaches. She is about 2 1/2 feet long.

Mitch is an adult male water dragon, about five years old.

Drogon is a bearded dragon with an unusual deep red color. About two years old, he has missing teeth and needs soft, well-chopped foods.

Dexter is an adult male African helmeted turtle. He needs a tropical-climate habitat, not suitable to roam free outside for long periods.

Gopher is an adult wild caught gopher snake. These animals are native to southern California.

Turtwig is an adult Eastern box turtle. These animals are relatively easy for people new to keeping reptiles. He needs UV light and moist substrate, and of course some TLC.

Pops is a gargoyle gecko that had severe nutritional deficiency. His jaw is malformed and he needs soft foods.

Naruto is an adult leopard gecko. Leopard geckos (“leos”) are relatively easy-care carnivorous animals and are good for those who have never kept a reptile pet before. Naruto eats dubia roaches, superworms, and crickets.
