Let’s change the World Together
Beauties of the Beasts is an Arizona reptile rescue based in Yuma. We rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome snakes, lizards, and amphibians statewide—while teaching humane care that prevents future surrenders.
Our Mission
Beauties of the Beasts is a volunteer-powered, 501(c)(3) reptile rescue serving all of Arizona. We rescue reptiles from neglect, abandonment, and crisis; provide triage, rehabilitation, and species-appropriate enrichment; and rehome animals with responsible, educated adopters. We collaborate with municipal shelters, Animal Control, wildlife officers, veterinary partners, and schools. Because prevention matters, we pair every rescue with owner coaching, community classes, and first-responder training—reducing preventable harm and repeat surrenders. Every adoption includes lifetime support.
Rescue & Rehabilitation
We respond to surrenders and emergencies statewide—stabilize, treat, and prepare reptiles for a safe second chance.
Education & Outreach
Hands-on classes and coaching that teach humane husbandry and prevent future surrenders.
By the Numbers
75+ reptiles rescued since founding
300+ people trained on reptile care
90% placement/adoption success
Snow’s Second Chance
Found abandoned in a plastic tote, this young albino ball python arrived dehydrated, underweight, and covered in stuck shed. After fluids, careful warming, and proper husbandry (humidity, hides, and slow-feeding), Snow regained strength, shed cleanly, and now eats reliably. Today, Snow lives with a vetted adopter—and helps us teach families what responsible reptile care looks like.
