Very lucky stray bearded dragon found near Saumarez Park now at the GSPCA

Submitted by Steve on 14:32, 21st Dec, 2018 | 0

Scott is the second bearded dragon to be found in the area of Saumarez Lane, near Saumarez Park as we had Debbie found not far from the area earlier this year.

The adult bearded dragon would have unlikely survived if it hadn’t been found as they originate from Australia and need a warm climate to live.

If you know of someone who has lost their bearded dragon please ask them to call the GSPCA on 01481 257261.

Worst case of reptile starvation the GSPCA has seen results in the owner being banned

Submitted by Steve on 17:55, 2nd Aug, 2017 | 0

Last October the GSPCA were involved in rescuing 4 reptiles some of which were so thin they were lucky to still be alive.

After months of care at the GSPCA the owner of the animals attended the Magistrates Court in St Peter Port yesterday.

The animals involved were 2 corn snakes, a royal python and a bearded dragon.  When they were rescued it was apparent that they hadn’t been cared for in some time due to the state of the enclosures which were extremely dirty and not appropriate for the animals due to the fittings and lack of provisions.

Yvonne Chauvel Senior Animal Care Assistant said "We've had a busy few months with stray and unwanted reptiles and it often takes months to find them new homes."
