Iguanas thrive outdoors and we want to be able to provide our rescue iguanas everything that they deserve! Please consider donating so that you can help us help them.Thank you for your continued support!

"May" is a gorgeous boa constrictor that came to us very healthy and happy. Like all red tails, these snakes do have a tendency to get quite large. "May" is very curious, friendly, and has beautiful contrast in her saddles. Won't you be "May's" adopter today?

our current needs

TRSAR is a female directed 501(c)3 nonprofit rescue that services the state of Texas. We are one of the few 501(c)3 rescues in the Houston area and the first dedicated to reptiles. Directed by Nikki Pesek, we have worked with reptiles and exotics for over 30 years. TRSAR intakes unwanted pets and rescues. We rehabilitate, provide a wellness check, temperament test, socialize, and then adopt out our animals to qualified forever homes. We are committed to captive animal husbandry and are proud to diligently partner with local shelters to ensure seized animals are given a second chance.
