Welcome to Sams Species!
How it all began!!!
After a lot of deliberation and research my daughter Sam decided she wanted a snake for christmas!! Well the day arrived and i brought home a beautiful hatchling hognose girlie which we named helga. I still couldn't believe that i had allowed something i imagined to be cold, wet, slimey and slithery into the house, but as usual i became fascinated and after discovering they were none of these i decided to rehome a corn snake for me. The interest grew not only with snakes but in all reptiles, so 7 years ago with my family's support i started a reptile rescue and sanctuary which i named after my daughter. It has now totalled 400+ reptiles, insects and amphibians which we care for within our home. These have come in from all over the country and once in our care they stay for life. We do not sell on, nor do we intentionally breed from them. After a lengthy process of health checks, rehabilitation and only when the animals are ready, are we prepared to use them for educational talks and displays.We find this particularly rewarding with special needs children and adults.
We are not charity registered yet and are self-funded. We rely heavily on public donations and money given from talks etc to fund the rescue.
Please feel free to leave some feedback on my guestbook

Sally
