Proteus Reptile Trust
We share our site with Proteus Reptile Trust, our sister sanctuary. Our founders established this charity in 1991, many years before Brockswood. It remains operational today and is dedicated to rescue, rehabilitating, and rehoming of sick, injured, and unwanted reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates nationwide.
Proteus frequently takes in animals that have been subjected to cruelty and neglect. These animals range from those with terrible burns and injuries to those found abandoned in bins like unwanted throwaway items. With expert care, veterinary treatment, and patience, many of these animals go on to become healthy, happy creatures, ready to find their new forever home. Unfortunately, some of these animals have endured too much suffering and will live long-term at the centre, receiving love and care for the rest of their lives.
Like us, Proteus receives no outside funding and relies on the generous donations of people like you to continue their vital work with these often overlooked animals. At any given time, they provide care for up to 350 reptiles, from tiny geckos to large monitors, from corn snakes to giant pythons, and everything in between.
Due to the very busy nature of their work, the Proteus Re-homing Centre is currently open by appointment only. Please get in touch with the Proteus team to schedule an appointment.
