husbandry & feeding advice

With over 8yrs of both personal & educational experience caring for a variety of reptile species, we are here to help you throughout your reptile journey. We offer species specific reptile care advice to help educate our customers and ensure that each animal is setup to thrive. We can walk you through optimal enclosure size, proper heating & lighting, handling techniques, diet, and supplements your reptile may need.

rescue, Rehab, & adoptions

Here at Killer Clutches we spend a lot of our time and resources taking in and caring for many rescues. This is a judgment free space where you can surrender a reptile in any condition. If you feel like you or someone you know is unable to properly care for an animal or simply no longer wants it, please don't hesitate to bring it to us. The majority of the animals we rescue and rehabilitate will eventually be available for adoption to responsible, pre-approved homes. However, some of these animals become permanent members of our family and are able to live out the rest of their lives here. All animals that we receive are quarantined, examined, and treated if necessary until they are ready for their new forever homes. Adoption fees vary depending on the specific animal to ensure they do not end up in another bad situation or simply "flipped" for profit. Call us or stop by in person to learn about the animals available for adoption.


Adoption Fee - $20+

Trimming Service - $6/pet
