Aside from the very occasional frilled dragon, blue tongue, or carpet python (ive seen one of each for adoption from rescues), all reptiles in rescues are CHEAP. The type of people who dump their animals are the cheap people. Which means they buy burms, iguanas, leos, boas, balls, etc etc. These wouldnt cost much anyway, and most rescues have a 10-50 dollar adoption fee, to pay for the vet bills, care, etc. Rescues that do free animals are NOT real rescues. Those are people who just find a home, whether its good or not, and get the animal out ASAP with no vet care, etc.

Hope this answers the question.
