Municipal Rescue Stories
We've helped municipalities and authority groups keep people and animals safe
Here are a few of our Rescue Stories
Pitbulls & Caimans
Sounds like a job for Reptilia! Although small, caiman are fast and unpredictable with a tremendously powerful bite. Training and experience are critical to capture them safely.
Pythons in the Walls
This Toronto resident had his baby ball python do just that, and he didn’t want to come out! Reptilia paid a visit, and using a bit of knowledge of snake behavior and fishing, was able to get the little guy out and safely back to his owner!
Smokey
Firefighters called Reptilia, who once the building was safe, we were able to enter and secure the snake. Although the snake suffered some minor burns and smoke inhalation, he recovered quickly!
Cobra in the Front Lawn
Reptilia spoke with the resident on the phone and asked them to send over a photo of the animal. It turned out to be a plastic toy! That was a happy ending!
Viper in the Back Yard
Lifting up the couch cover, imagine our surprise seeing a scared possum staring back at us! The photo had been a looped segment of the tail, looking just like a snake from far away!
Boa on the Porch
Luckily all it took was a photo to our Head Zookeeper to confirm that it was a harmless boa constrictor, and the officer was able to capture and bring the snake in to animal services.
