Vote the EcoVivarium Reptile Rescue in the 2024 All-in 4 Change grant program!
Hello, everyone!
Harrah’s Resort Southern California has opened voting for their annual “All-in 4 Change” grant program, where fifteen non-profits in the San Diego, Riverside, and Orange County areas are awarded a portion of a $150,000 cash grant to fund their efforts in helping people and animals through the various programs they run. This year, the non-profit reptile rescue and living museum, the EcoVivarium Reptile Sanctuary, is one of the nominees. EcoVivarium is a cause very close to home for me – members of my family either work there or volunteer there, and we have adopted a number of animals through them, which is why I would like to ask that anyone interested please cast a vote for them. Each person can vote once per day, so if you’re so inclined, please help get EcoVivarium to the top slot! Voting is open until August 28th.
What is the EcoVivarium Reptile Sanctuary?
Located in Escondido, EcoVivarium is one of the largest reptile, amphibian, and arthropod rescues in the United States. Since 2009, they have been devoted to the health and well-being of the animals that come through their doors, and educating children and adults alike about these unique, often misunderstood and misrepresented creatures. EcoVivarium handles many educational programs, both on-site and abroad, as well as birthday parties and events, where people can learn about lizards, snakes, turtles, tortoises, frogs, and arthropods first-hand, even gaining hands-on experiences with some of them. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about these animals, and has the patience to help even the most misgiving of people the chance to understand these wonderful creatures. In addition to their extensive special programs, EcoVivarium hosts regular on-site tours, both for walk-in customers and advanced reservations. Visitors will get the chance to pet and even hold a variety of animals, as well as meet some of the Animal Ambassadors, such as Ed the Galapagos Tortoise or Mac the Giant Water Monitor Lizard.
On top of this, EcoVivarium also has limited adoption options you can explore if you would like to add a new member to your family and provide a forever home to one of these wonderful animals. As a reptile rescue, they receive many animals regularly, either due to owner neglect or inability to provide for them, or due to injuries and special needs. Many animals will end up calling EcoVivarium their home, due to factors requiring special care (injuries, trauma-related temperament issues, and/or permit-related legal issues regarding private ownership), but still many more are ready to find a permanent family beyond the facility, one who is ready to love and care for a unique, but incredible friend. As of this writing, there are over 400 animals in EcoVivarium’s care, and with so many of them needing special attention, finding homes for those who are capable of being adopted out is a high priority.
EcoVivarium is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, with all funds going directly back into animal care and facility maintenance. The organization is handled by a small staff of animal care professionals and educators, supplemented with a number of volunteers of all ages. For more information, please feel free to contact me, or you can contact them directly at Home - EcoVivarium.
Aside from this grant program, they can be donated to directly as well. Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowable by law.

I had outside time with my snake today. It's 23°C and he was very content in my sweater.

New rep-children! Meet Solaris and Selene! Both female beardies about 1 year old that we adopted together from their previous home. Keeping a watch for any behaviors that may indicate they need to be separated. But they seem to enjoy each other's company thus far. I love them both so much already!

Hey, it's my birthday! And as a gift, I'd really like you all to spread the word about EcoVivarium, a local nonprofit reptile rescue and living museum, and specifically their GoFundMe. The recent cold snap in California resulted in a massive spike to their power bill, due to the need to keep all the animals warm around the clock. They need as much help as they can get to pay the bill and maintain power in order to continue helping the over 300 animals in their care.
If you can donate, please do! If you can't, please share this message. They do amazing work with a wide variety of lizards, turtles and tortoises, snakes, and arthropods, many with special needs or injuries that keep them from being adopted out. And if you're ever in the area, please don't hesitate to schedule a tour or even just walk-in - the staff will be happy to introduce you to an entire world of new animal friends for you to fall in love with!
