Volunteer Statements
“Spending time with reptiles brings me great joy. I truly appriciate being able to volunteer my time to help the surrendered reptiles so they have a very enriched enviroment and great care. As an autistic person, volunteering allows me to be myself and share my love and excitement for reptiles. Alex gives me the opportunity to work at my own pace and be part of something that is deeply important to me.”

“As the mother of a young women on the spectrum, I enjoy seeing my daughter volunteer in a space that brings her so much joy to her life. Alex provides the opportunity for her to use her talents and love of reptiles. Watching her interact without being judged or misunderstood is fantastic!”
“You are very fair to your volunteers and treat everyone well making sure everyone is comfortable. Alex is a great guy and treats his animals very good. I love your cause and how you do your business”
