Wild Education does something incredible: they rescue unwanted or abandoned exotic pets, provide forever care for animals that can’t be rehomed, and travel to schools across the province teaching kids about animals that are too often misunderstood.From snakes, lizards, tarantulas, and scorpions to ferrets, sugar gliders, chinchillas, and even a rescued serval named Gary — plus a herd of sulcata tortoises tipping the scales at 120+ pounds — Wild Education cares for them all.But here’s the challenge: after multiple forced moves, the rescue needs a permanent home to continue this lifesaving work. Every donation helps secure a safe future for the animals and keeps this unique educational program alive.In this conversation you’ll hear:-The incredible origin story of Wild Education-What it takes to care for hundreds of reptiles, arachnids & mammals-How education changes public fear into fascination-The everyday obstacles rescues face — housing bans, vet shortages & misinformation-Why Gary the serval and 12 giant tortoises became part of the family-What YOU can do today to help misunderstood animalsThis isn’t just a rescue — it’s a movement for compassion, education, and second chances.#WildEducation #ExoticPetRescue #reptiles #animalrescue #snakes #tarantula #scorpion #servals #sulcatatortoise #conservationeducation #usark #BatBox #aretepodcast #aretemedia #animals #animalvideos #canada #animalrescue #britishcolumbia
