Recommended Businesses and rescue sponsors
Reptile rescue is expensive and there is no way we could do this without the support of our local vet and these other great vendors. Some of them have offered us discounts as a rescue, some offer us monetary support, and some of them just make the top products in the reptile community. For many of these companies you can click on their logo to go directly to their website.

Solar Light is the leading manufacturer of UVB testing meters. These meters will tell you how bright the output of your UVB light is and how much UV is actually coming out. All UVB bulbs degrade over time, having a meter is essential to proper reptile keeping. As a rescue, we recommend the 6.5R meter, made exclusively for reptile keeping. It has an easy-to-read digital readout and even a chart right on the front of the meter so you'll never have to guess how much UV your reptiles are getting.

House of Hydro is the leading distributor of commercial fogging machines. Foggers are wonderful for creating humidity for the many tropical reptiles we have.
