MaxMan Reptile Rescue is dedicated to the humane treatment of all animals, but specifically reptiles.
 
Our Mission in Rescue is to save reptiles from neglectful or abusive homes, and to provide sanctuary to reptiles whose homes can no longer house or provide for them.
 
Our Mission in adoption is to seek out and provide loving homes to adoptable reptiles.

RELINQUISHMENT INFORMATION:

MaxMan Reptile Rescue is willing to accept herptiles voluntarily reliquinshed by owners who no longer want them and/or can care for them. Under these circumstances, we request your cooperation and understanding.
 
In conjunction with the reliquishment, we require that you donate all the housing and equipment for the reptile. This makes the transition easiest for the reptile to remain in an environment it is familiar with; decreasing stress for the animal. All new animals to the Rescue environment remain in quarantine so as not to affect the established collection of animals. Having the reptile remain in its own enclosure is the safest way to accomplish this for the relinquished reptile.
 
There is a reliquishment fee for all reptiles. This fee goes directly to the reptiles, their future care and veterinarian consultation. We request that you be understanding about this fee. After all, if you are seeking the finest future homes for your animals, this is one way we can accomplish this goal.
 
 
For small reptiles (geckos, small snakes, etc) the fee is $40.
 
For all water turtles (red eared sliders, non-native species) the fee is $60.
 
For large/giant reptiles (boa, iguanas, monitors) the fee is $140.
 
 
          

RESCUE INFORMATION:
 

MaxMan Reptile Rescue will provide for or assist to find homes for reptiles and amphibians in need of new homes. This includes herptiles from:
  • neglectful homes
  • abusive situations
  • confiscation by Animal Control or Law Enforcement
  • owners seeking new homes for their reptiles
  • and more...

ADOPTION INFORMATION

A variety of reptiles are available for adoption through MaxMan. Additionally as members of the Upstate Herpetological Association, there are several other opportunities to adopt.
 
Any interested parties may contact MaxMan Reptile Rescue to apply for adoption. Applications must be completed and approved for adopting reptiles, especially reptiles that require advanced herp care, including large snakes, iguanas, etc. References will be required and assistance for all reptiles placed will be provided.
 
Please understand there is an ADOPTION FEE associated with each animal adopted from MaxMan Reptile Rescue. This helps to ensure the animals are going to a dedicated home, and helps defray the costs associated with care and husbandry of all the adoption animals. This fee must be paid at the time of the adoption, and varies depending on the animal being adopted. Typical fees range between $25 and $75.
 
 
 

Application to adopt

IMPORTANT NOTICE:
 
Please make note that MaxMan Reptile Rescue DOES NOT ship adoption animals. Reptiles are adopted to homes within the Central New York area. Shipping causes additonal stress and since these animals are all rescued, many have suffered severe stress in their recent past. Therefore, for the welfare of all the animals, reptiles will not be shipped.
 
Additionally, the cost of shipping, coupled with the cost of adoption makes this method economically prohibitive. Thank you for your understanding.
