Phone for EMERGENCIES ONLY!!!!!- ( Reptiles that are injured or in harms way, or for people I have an already established relationship with, if I have talked to you before, and you know it is ok to call me. ), use the number listed below. We do
consider any information pertaining to a Horned Lizard sighting to be worthy of a phone call.Phone cannot always be answered immediately, but we do usually check voice mails within a few minutes of a call, so please leave a message with all the relevant information ( type of reptile, locations, any injuries, etc. ) and we will get back to you as soon as possible. We do not return phone calls that do not leave a message. >>THIS NUMBER IS FOR EMERGENCIES ONLY<<. If you are wanting to give up an unwanted pet or ask a question, this is NOT AN EMERGENCY. USE THE EMAIL ADDRESS ABOVE FOR NON-EMERGENCIES )<<. Thank You. WFRR
This number is my personal cell phone, and you cost me money when you call. Make sure it for the right reason. I do not respond to texts messages saying "please call"! If you have something for me, then leave a voice mail with the relative information. If your message is not related to an animal emergency, or we don't already have an established relationship, your voice mail will be deleted and I will not call you back.
Due to recent calls, which are not related to an actual emergency, I will now illustrate some examples if you are in doubt about what is not an emergency:
1. If you ordered harvester ants and have some question about your order - THIS IS NOT AN EMERGENCY AND YOU SHOULD EMAIL.
2. If you are considering ordering ants, and merely have a few questions - THIS IS NOT AN EMERGENCY AND YOU SHOULD EMAIL.
3. If you are considering adopting or purchasing an animal, and you have questions - THIS IS NOT AN EMERGENCY AND YOU SHOULD EMAIL.
4. If any of the following is true:
a. your bratty kid is now tired of his or her snake, lizard, or turtle that you irresponsibly bought for a child, and the animal has grown like it should but you didn't do any research or prepare for it;
b. if it is now outgrowing the pitifully small terrarium you thought you would get away with purchasing and housing this animal the rest of it's life;
c. if you are now cheap and don't want to spend any more money on it, and looking for someone to dump it on now, never having learned self responsibility, proper research of your pets, or do not have the desire to teach your kid the same...
THIS IS NOT AN EMERGENCY AND YOU SHOULD EMAIL.
You do me no favors by giving me an animal for "free". I do not resell them for profit, and most everybody else looking for a pet, is just like you: They don't want it either if it's not a cute little baby! I only try to find them new homes at a loss for me, and provide them sanctuary where I can. I will help if I can, but do not mistake that you are doing me a favor. You will likely end up costing me money, so lets keep that in perspective.
When in doubt about whether you should use this personal number to call me or not, simply ask yourself whether this pertains to an animal which is currently in harms way ( injured, on a road, a snake being threatened with extermination, etc. ). If your reason for dailing my number does not coincide with one of these reasons, DO NOT CALL!!!
>>Have you read the previous statements, and does your reason for calling actually pertain to an animal emergency??? If not, DO NOT USE THIS NUMBER>> 940-224-4963 ( Leave message. Calls not returned if no message. )
