Greetings!

My name is Hannah. My life's passion is to create a specialty reptile store and community resource. It will be a place where anyone interested in reptiles is welcomed! A huge variety of high quality reptiles will be offered and all of the supplies needed to care for them. Expertise is a main focus so that every question asked will be answered. Aside from the store aspect, Reptilia Den will give hands-on educational presentations. I've seen how much a little time and information is all it takes to dispel fear and I love introducing people to the wonders of the reptile world!


What Reptilia Den needs and what you get from me

I am asking for $40,000 to cover start up costs. With your help I will be able to acquire the storefront, enclosures and equipment for the animals, shelving, rodent rack systems, and stock. I also need financing to handle setting up the space. That includes putting up or taking down walls, a public restroom, heating and cooling needs, electrical specifications, store fixtures (i.e. lighting, countertops, register). It's a very long list that just keeps going!

In return I am offering various levels of discounts, free presentations, and apparel. If you'd like something that you don't see listed, ask me! I'm absolutely more than happy to work with you in order to show my appreciation. If you'd like to donate more than what's outlined we can tailor perks just for you!

And what happens if I don't reach my goal? I will be pursuing other avenues but all funds raised here will go toward the opening of Reptilia Den regardless.


The impact

Reptiles get an unfair reputation here in the desert. With all of the misconceptions and fear floating around, both humans and animals suffer for it. We live in close quarters with reptiles and many of us see them everyday. Our community needs something like this. Reptilia Den will be a hub for information and understanding. Where enthusiasts can find camaraderie, parents can be put at ease, children can find wonder, and pets can go home with the perfect new families with all the information they need.

Having owned a similar business, I know this works! I know how to handle the challenges that owning a business can present. It is also my hope that my children will find inspiration in watching Reptilia Den prosper.


Other ways you can help

Can't contribute personally? You can still help! Please share the story of Reptilia Den on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or word of mouth. Every ounce gets us closer to success! I am also looking at adopting friendly reptiles that are in need of a new home. After a vet check and plenty of time to acclimate, these will become future stars of educational visits. They will receive special attention in my own home.

And a thousand times thank you!

This endeavor means the world to me. A thousand times thank you! :)
