Do you love reptiles but don’t have the resources, time, or ability to own one? Please consider volunteering! As we work to expand our programs we are searching for volunteers to help at our facility and soon to be exhibit! You can do as much or as little as you’d like and I am more than happy to be a professional reference for future jobs!

If you are interested please send me a message here or via our email at [email protected]

I look forward to hearing from you!

Good morning everyone, please repost this so we can get as much feedback as possible!

We would like to gauge public interest for a reptile and aquatic exhibit/zoo right in Rutland Vermont! We have an opportunity to make this a reality, but we need your support and your help. We want to ensure it would be well received, and we are also looking for donations to help make it a reality. If you are interested in donating, I provided a link every penny helps, if you can’t donate we please ask that you spread the word and spread this post!

Thank you for all the support you’ve shown and we look forward to hearing your feedback!

Thank you everyone who came out to our booth at the The Vermont State Fair! We loved meeting everyone that came to our booth and said hello! I’d like to thank a few individuals for stopping by including Rutland City Police Department, Stockton Security, and finally Senator Joe Major!

We look forward to attending the 2026 fair and seeing you all next year!

We are very excited to announce that we will be attending the Rutland fair Tuesday through Saturday! We’ll be there all day every day, and just cause you stop and see us Tuesday doesn’t mean we won’t have something new Wednesday! Animals will be rotating throughout the week, so there’s always something new and exciting to see and possibly hold!
Come see us by the drive-in movie theater screen!
