Willow
Bearded Dragon
Male, 4 years- 2021
Willow is a curious guy. He loves to sit and look out the window, NOT from his cage. He's getting used to cage life but he does not like his cage dirty. He will scratch and glass surf when he is ready to poo. He also does not enjoy soaks. He will put up with it briefly to drink from syringe droplets. But he will throw a fit about it. Bedtime is a great time for snuggles otherwise he's usually on the move. He prefers dubias over crickets, but will eat them eventually. All worms are welcome! Willow is not a big salad eater. His foster hasnt been able to try a lot of greens, but he's eaten some of everything offered, but not a lot daily. His foster has been sprinkling Beardie Buffet on his salads to help entice. He may act a little grumpy and judgy but he's really a sweet guy. Mornings are his least favorite with a lot of dark beards and head bobbing, and still a little hesitant about outside at first, but give him time and he will be off exploring.
Adoption fee: $75
Clyde
Leopard Gecko
Male, 7 years - 2018
Clyde is an outgoing, explorer type leopard gecko. He has a strong personality and tells you when he dislikes something (or doesn’t want to do something). He is a talker and fast to acclimate to new places. Although he likes to be out, he is less into petting and handling. He would rather sit on you or free roam. Clyde would be great for someone who wants a more active gecko.
Adoption fee: $45
Cupcake
Corn Snake - Anery
Male, 1.5 years - 2023
Meet Cupcake, the cutest little firecracker at The Lizard Lighthouse Reptile Rescue! This sassy cornsnake loves to put on a show, rattling his tail like a tough guy—but deep down, he’s all charm. A champion eater, Cupcake has never said no to a frozen/thawed mouse. Although he needs to work on his manners, Cupcake is ready for an experienced reptile keeper to take him home!
Adoption fee: $
Bonnie
Leopard Gecko
Female, 7 years - 2018
Bonnie is a relaxed and quiet gecko and takes a while to warm up to people…but once you win her over, she is a sweetheart. Bonnie is more for someone who wants a “hang out” gecko that is less inclined to simply run off for exploration. Aka, a gecko who will watch TV with her person.
Adoption fee: $45
Fly
Bearded Dragon
Unknown, Under 1 year - 2025
While not the cutest beardie, Fly will still make someone a great pet. The gruff/grumpy appearance caused by the deformed jaw is misleading. Fly is alert, active, and we think will warm up to anyone patient enough to work with him daily.
Fly has the alertness and attitude of a young male, so we are fairly certain they will sex as a male once old enough. The challenge with this dragon is the deformed jaw can cause issues with stuck food in the gums, so daily observance and occasional swabbing is mandatory.
The mild MBD as a baby also causes some nostril restriction, so an owner will observe more throat breathing.
This is a beardie for a dedicated reptile lover who wants to see this little buddy grow into a king/queen.
Adoption fee: $75

Reptile Adoption FAQ
Reptiles have specific care requirements that differ greatly from more traditional pets like cats or dogs. You should consider the reptile's lifespan, space requirements, diet, heating and lighting needs, and whether you have the time and resources to provide proper care. Reptiles also require a commitment to maintaining their habitat, ensuring proper humidity, and providing regular vet check-ups.
Research is key! Consider factors such as the reptile’s size, temperament, activity level, and care needs. Some reptiles, like leopard geckos, are better for beginners, while others, like iguanas, require more advanced care. Our staff at The Lizard Lighthouse can help guide you to a reptile that matches your experience level and lifestyle.
You’ll need to have a properly sized enclosure, appropriate heating and lighting, substrate, hides, water and food dishes, and any specific items needed for the species you’re adopting. We provide a detailed checklist for each type of reptile we adopt out (see our Reptile Adoption Equipment Checklist).
