Operation Reptile is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit. We provide safe environments, expert care, and lifelong advocacy for reptiles and exotic animals in need.
We take in surrendered, neglected, and displaced reptiles, giving them a safe place to recover and thrive.
Every animal receives species-appropriate husbandry, nutrition, and veterinary attention from experienced keepers.
Through education and responsible placement, we promote respect for reptiles and their role in the natural world.
Founded by Carter and Ariana, Operation Reptile began as a deep personal commitment to animals that are too often misunderstood. Today we operate as a nonprofit dedicated to expanding facilities, supporting owners, and placing animals in homes where they can flourish.
