Where to Surrender Pet Reptiles in Shreveport

Have you ever heard of Steve’s Snaketuary? If not, you are missing out on what is easily one of the most unique and underrated services in our entire community.

You might have spotted them at local events bringing out incredible, fascinating reptiles to educate and entertain. And while booking Steve’s Snaketuary for a birthday party is always a massive hit with kids, their work goes way beyond party entertainment.

Did you know local workplaces actually call them in for safety meetings? They teach employees how to properly identify local snakes, a simple step that keeps workers safe on the job site while protecting innocent native snakes from unnecessary harm.

But there’s another crucial side to Steve's Snaketuary that you might not know about: they are a safe haven for pets in need.

We’ve all been there or known someone who has, you get a cool reptile, only to realize down the road that caring for it takes far more time, space, and work than you ever anticipated. Instead of dumping a pet or foolishly assuming it will "figure it out" in the wild, Steve's Snaketuary gives owners a compassionate way out.

They recently shared a story that says it all:

"This young gentleman surrendered his Bearded Dragon to us the other day and entrusted us with its care. Honestly, he set the bar high. He asked thoughtful questions about its care, wanting to be absolutely sure his pet was going to a safe, knowledgeable, and loving home. That kind of responsibility and compassion is something we love to see! At Snaketuary, we meet a lot of reptiles that haven’t been given the care they deserve, which makes moments like this stand out even more. This young reptile advocate recognized what his Bearded Dragon needed and made a selfless choice to ensure it would thrive. That’s what real care looks like, and we’re honored to continue that journey! Snaketuary, Bringing Peace Through Rescue!"
