Adopt!

We rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome reptiles in East Contra Costa.

Reptiles are surrendered every day by keepers who were never told how large, how long-lived, or how specialized their animal would be. We take them in, provide proper heat, UVB, and veterinary care, and place them with keepers who are ready. HerpaDerp is a volunteer-run 501©(3) rescue based in Antioch, California.
