Hi, I’m Tyler Messina, and I’m passionate about supporting the Idaho Reptile Zoo, a unique rescue and education center I started in my garage in Boise over 15 years ago. We have hosted countless birthday parties, been to who knows how many schools, and rescued 1000s of reptiles in need of a home. Doing so with the amazing support of our community. Now this is one of those times that we need you more than ever.

As most of you know... the Idaho Reptile Zoo had to make a sudden move to a new location. Which we were lucky enough to get it done in the time table we did, to reduce the amount of stress on the animals as much as we could. But a move of this size does not happen just with hard work... this move has depleted our funding. With everything going on we are pushing the limits of having to close our doors. Which is something I never thought would happen. The worst part... its not because our amazing community does not support us, its just because of events that were/ are out of our control.

Well... we are trying to take back that control. But we need your help. This is definitely something we can not do on our own. Please consider helping us in this crucial time. Your contribution, no matter the size, will help us continue to not only give these incredible animals a home, but help us continue to educate future generations about these amazing animals.

We love you guys so much. We appreciate you all and everything you have done for us and hope to continue this amazing relationship with our community.
