ADOPT A REPTILE!
 |
Turbo - Turbo came to Zooville in 2009 from a
facility in central Florida that had been closed down by
the Florida Wildlife Conservation Commission. We
know virtually nothing of his history, but he is happy,
healthy and content and that is what is most important.

Zippy - Zippy belonged to someone who knew a former
volunteer, and when they decided they no longer wanted
her, they brought her here. Zippy came in 2010 and
was only about 2 years old. She was considerably
smaller that Turbo, but she had (and still has) plenty
of places to get away from him when he wants to bully
her. She is a great education animal, and is one
of the few animals we take off property to do outreach
programs with.

Spot
- Spot came to Zooville in 2010 after being found
wandering in a neighborhood. He was taken to a pet
store and left there, but this pet store sells food and
products only, no live animals. The owner of the
store knew of us and had frequently donated pet food
here, so when the tortoise arrived, she knew who to
call! Today, Spot lives with Zippy and Turbo and
also goes off property for our education programs.
While we don't know how Spot came to be living outdoors
and "free," he is a great ambassador for responsible
ownership of all animals, and a representative of the
problem of released animals that plagues Florida.
The lessons he teaches are extremely important! |
