Rango
Rango is a 4-year-old male bearded dragon with quite the comeback story. He came into foster on March 10, 2026 after being surrendered with injuries that we were told were from a past dog attack (he was surrendered to a shelter in VA with another beardie Ed, who is in foster with us). When he arrived, he was underweight (331.2g), weak, and had a hard time climbing. He’s missing the tip of his tail, one toe on his outer right front foot, and had a puncture wound under his right eye. He also came in with stuck shed, clogged femoral pores, and parasites.
Understandably, Rango had some trust issues at first. He would flatten his body, puff up his beard, and do quite a bit of head bobbing.
In less than two months in foster, he’s made huge progress. His parasites are being treated, his shed and coloring are improving, and he’s gained a lot of weight, now up to 463.9g. He’s active, climbing confidently, and really starting to thrive. He still flinches a bit if you reach in while he’s asleep to pick him up for cuddle time, but he doesn’t even open his eyes to check anymore and settles right back down.
Rango is such a fun little guy. He’s curious, a bit goofy, and full of personality. He loves to eat, look out the window, and people/car watch. One of his favorite “games” is sneaking looks at you when you’re not looking, then the second you make eye contact, he closes his eyes like he wasn’t just watching you.
He’s been through a lot, but it doesn’t slow him down anymore. Rango is going to make an amazing companion for someone willing to give him the safe, loving home he deserves.
Bearded dragons are one of the top most loved reptiles in the hobby of keeping, they can be fun and rewarding, and not to mention long lasting friends if handled correctly. Bearded dragons do have special light requirements, they require a specific basking area and UVB bulb over the rest of the enclosure. Rango is an omnivore, so he eats both plant and animal matter. He can eat an array of insects (dusted in calcium and fed gutloading gel or powder), greens, veggies, and fruit (use healthy and vitamin rich items!). We recommend paper towels, instead of loose substrate, as loose substrate such as sand or coco chor can cause impaction if accidentally consumed with prey. We do not recommend reptile carpet.
Adoption fee is $50. If interested in adopting, our adoption application can be filled out here: https://www.judgespark.org/adoption-application.html

Roman
*young male ball python
*Roman came into our rescue as part of a large group of neglected snakes that were taken from an owner. They were all extremely skinny and neglected and have been hanging out in foster getting healthy! Roman is the first one available for adoption! When he came in he was one of the skinniest (picture of him being held) but he has been doing amazing, eating and drinking and going potty, and has had a shed. He is ready to find a family!
Per his foster: I named him Roman and hes still skittish with handling but he just needs time to warm up. He used to hide a good amount but hes very explorative now and likes a large water dish to hang out in. He also really likes having something to slither up on and just hanging out on those
Ball pythons need large size tanks (at least 40 gallons), regular feeding (frozen thawed for their safety), the right tank set up, heat lamps and temperatures, and proper humidity and care. They are amazing, sweet snakes who enjoy human interaction. Interested adopters can fill out our adoption application here: https://www.judgespark.org/adoption-application.html

Fluffy
*adult female ball python
*Fluffy came into our rescue as part of a large group of neglected snakes that were taken from an owner. They were all extremely skinny and neglected and have been hanging out in foster getting healthy! She was one out of the second group and surprisingly the healthiest of the group, almost a little overweight. I suspect he was recently acquired by the person and hadn't had time to get as bad. She has been doing amazing, eating and drinking and going potty, and has had a shed. He is ready to find a family!
Per his foster: She typical ball python shy at first, but quickly becomes very curious, always tongue flicking and looking around. She is extremely active in her enclosure and long term would thrive a lot better in at least an 85-150 gallon tank, as she is out for several hours every night and a 40 gallon just won’t suffice for the remainder of her life, in my opinion. She lets my kids hold her. She does sometimes hiss when I get her out to clean, but she never strikes and quickly settles down.
