•    - A potential adopter must fill out the adoption application and return it to us by email, fax, or mail.
•    -The adoption application will be reviewed by RRC staff.
•    - If the application passes, an interview will be scheduled.
•    - The in-person interview will screen the potential adopter more carefully and test their knowledge of the species they are interested in adopting.
•    - Once the in-person interview is passed, a RRC staff member will conduct a home-check to ensure that a proper environment is set up and ready for a new pet.

  3. Due to our policy to conduct in-person interviews and home-checks, we only adopt locally in the state of Arkansas.  If you are outside a 30 mile radius of our facility in Little Rock, we may require you to donate gas money for us to be able to drive to your home.

•    - Responsible breeders know the history and origin of their breeding stock. The animals that come into our care often have unknown histories and most likely came from pet stores and irresponsible breeders.
•    - Most of the animals that come into our care are "wild type"/normal patterned or other very common color morphs.  Normals and other common morphs have flooded the market, and sadly these animals are seen without much dollar value. A responsible breeder should try to avoid producing more normals into a saturated market, therefore breeding these normal animals would be irresponsible and should be discouraged.
