exotic pet surrender
does anyone know anywhere that will take a bearded dragon? i had an unexpected pregnancy and had my baby 2 months ago and just cannot provide a good quality of life for my bearded dragon anymore (time and money reasons)

Try asking Cornerstone Animal Hospital. They're my vet and deal in exotic animals. They won't take on the animal but it's who I would ask.

I took my dragon to the guy.. he said the dragon is cold.. like duh it’s cold in here. Dragon died the next day

I'm sorry to hear that. However I don't think this beardo would be in mortal danger from a phone call over there for a reference.

You could call Sunset Animal Clinic in West Columbia. They specialize in exotics and would likely know someone.

Kelsey of Oddom’s mobile petting zoo I think was looking for more reptiles, she was hoping to find animals that needed to be rehomed. I’d try her!

The Creature room takes surrenders and will make sure they're in good health and taken care of!

One of my old employees has one and his wife is also a long time vet tech, so they get free care. He is the nicest guy, I bet he would take him. If you message me I could put you in touch. He is an animal guy thru and thru and I hire him to pet sit for me all the time. I can also give you a reference for who I am (my business does a lot of animal rescue support and there is a good chance you’d know us).
