reptile shelters

[Night_Crawler]

OK, I'm always zooming around the net checking out adoption sites and so on I've been intrested in starting my own shelter for awhile becuase there is no reptile shelter at all in my area and our city shelter will not take anything but cats and dogs so I want to open my own shelter for exotics herps and maybe mammals but I have really no clue how to open what or the procedures or anything else so if anyone has any info or links or anything that could possibly help me that would be really great.

Thank You
P.S
Please help me?

well if your opening up a reptile store you'll need a deed,money for herps,a store etc.

for a shelter I think your best bet would be to contact Game & Fish and see if they can give you any info. Or contact another rescue, Roy at Las Cruces Reptile Rescue would be glad to speak to you on the matter.
