The Serpentarium first posted about the fire to its Facebook page on Sunday, and immediately, there was an outpouring of support from customers across Dallas-Fort Worth, including many offers to foster animals.

Aimee Zissa, North Texas Reptile Rescue’s other co-founder, is taking home seven ball pythons and two juvenile tegus, her favorite reptile. Tegus in particular have more extensive care needs, as the lizards can grow to anywhere between two and five feet long depending on the species. Zissa is already fostering two other tegus for the rescue, and she owns two as well.
In addition to rehabilitation, North Texas Reptile Rescue provides a place for pet owners to surrender reptiles they can no longer take care of instead of releasing them into the wild. Released pet reptiles have caused ecological crises in states like Florida and Georgia, making finding homes for displaced reptiles all the more important.
