“Tank” Sulcata Tortoise (Geochelone sulcata)Tank was captive bred and joined the Animal Ambassador Team in 2004. His small size (at the time) taught thousands about how cute and small these tortoises are when they are babies but how big they can get in just a few years.
“Savannah” Savannah Monitor (Varanus exanthematicus)Savannah was rescued from a pet store. She was living in a small glass aquarium where she could not even turn herself around. She had been so overfed that she could barely move due to her obesity. Savannah is now on a healthy diet.
“Irwin” Solomon Island Skink (Corucia zebrata)Irwin was captive bred right here in the United States. His birth came as a surprise to many. These unique skinks are quite rare in collections and tend to have a very low reproductive rate.
“Bentley” Brazilian Rainbow Boa (Epicrates cenchria chenchria)Considered to be the most beautiful snake in the world, Brazilian Rainbow Boas’ have iridescent scales that emit the colors of the rainbow. Bentley was captive bred in the United States
“Charlotte” Rose Hair Tarantula (Grammostola cala)These large spiders are considered one of the most popular pet tarantulas in the world. They can reach lengths of up to 6 inches and the females can live to be over 20 years old. Charlotte has been with Corbin since 2006. She was captive bred in the Unite
“Spike” Bearded Dragon (Pogona Vitticeps)Spike was abandoned on someone’s front porch. When Corbin received the phone call, the lady on the other end exclaimed that she had a 6-foot iguana at her doorstep! It turned out to be a 13-inch Bearded Dragon now named Spike!
“Shere Khan” Albino Burmese Python (Python molurus bivittatus)Shere Khan was left abandoned in an apartment for months without food or water. He was found skinny, dehydrated, and covered with fresh wounds. After months of recovery he permanently found a home with Corbin and the rest of his Animal Ambassador Team.
“Hyrdo” Honduran Milk Snake (Lampropeltis triangulum hondurensis)Hydro was used for captive snake breeding for many years. His contribution saved many wild snakes from being illegally collected for the pet trade. Once he became too old for breeding purposes, he found a home with Corbin in 2005.
“Tinkerbelle” Sulcata Tortoise (Geochelone sulcata)Tinkerbelle was found trying to cross rush hour traffic on I-84. She apparently escaped from her old owner’s pen and wound up making local headlines! She found a permanent home with Corbin in 2004 and is now living in our brand new tortoise facility.
“Clyde” “Seamore” “Nemo” Red Eared Sliders (Trachemys scripta elegans)Clyde (bottom) and Seamore (middle) were rescued from a pet store that was illegally selling baby turtles. Nemo (top) was found in a Northern Idaho pond and was considered an invasive species by Idaho Fish and Game.
“Reggie” and “Nieko” Ball Pythons (Python regius)Reggie (top head) was Corbin’s first rescue. He inspired a very young Corbin at the age of 12 to start a reptile reserve and educational outreach program. Nieko (bottom head) was captive bred and has lived with Reggie since he was a baby.
“Banzai” Solomon Island Skink (Corucia zebrata)Banzai (who happens to be the father of Irwin) joined the Animal Ambassador Team in 2008. He is very protective over his territory and his offspring! Solomon Island Skinks, unlike most reptiles, live in family groups and are extremely caring.
“Junior” Nile Monitor (Varanus niloticus)One of the very first to join the Animal Ambassador Team, Junior (like most monitors) outgrew his previous owners. With their large size and sometimes unpredictable behavior large lizards, like Nile Monitors, should only be kept by experienced hobbyists.
“Humphrey” Snapping Turtle (Chelydra serpentine)Humphrey was rescued from a pet store that was illegally selling baby turtles under four inches long. He joined the Animal Ambassador Team at the size of a quarter!
“Lexie” Boa Constrictor (Boa constrictor)This beautiful girl has been with Corbin since she was a baby. She was captive bred and was given to him on Christmas Day many years ago by his family.
“Buddy” Burmese Python (Python molurus bivittatus)Buddy was rescued after his owner’s home went up in flames. He escaped the fire with little damage, but unfortunately due to the incident was left homeless. Luckily he found a home with Corbin in the spring of 2007.
“Scooter” Green Iguana (Iguana iguana)Scooter came to Corbin in 2006. He was skinny, dehydrated, and full of harmful parasites. His previous owners won him as a prize at a local carnival. Scooter is now back at a healthy weight and enjoys human interactions.
“Soni” American Alligator (Alligator mississippiensis)Soni was living in someone’s bedroom for over 2 years. Once he reached 4 feet he landed a permanent home with Corbin in 2006. He now resides in an enclosure that features a heated pool, palm trees, and a large basking area.
“Missouri” Three Toed Box Turtle (Terrapene carolina triunguis)Missouri was illegally taken from the wild. Unfortunately, once caught and put in captivity she could not be returned to the wild due to fish and game rules and regulations. She permanently found a home with Corbin in 2003.
“Sydney” Woma Python (Aspidites ramsayi )Considered quite rare in collections, Sydney was the perfect snake to join the Animal Ambassador Team in 2006. His story promotes conservation and preservation of all the species in Australia, where Woma Pythons are found.
