Scottsdale reptile sanctuary to hold adoptions at various PetSmarts

PHOENIX — Have you been thinking about adopting a reptile?

PetSmart and the Phoenix Herpetological Sanctuary will have critters up for adoption Saturday to raise money to support the PHS.

From 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. Saturday, several PetSmart locations around the Valley will offer reptiles. There is a $10 adoption fee for a turtle while other animals, including snakes, lizards and tortoises, will cost more money to adopt.
