| What is the Mid-Atlantic Reptile Show (MARS)? |
| |
The Mid-Atlantic Reptile Show is a captive bred reptile show that is held
annually in September in Timonium, Maryland (which is just north of Baltimore
city). The show features animals for display and for sale. The show also offers
educational displays, supplies, books and more. (see our
MARS Reptile Show section) |
| |
|
| How can I become a vendor at MARS? |
| |
We currently have a waiting list for vendors, but some people drop out every
year and we always have a few new vendors each year. You are required to send
us information about your business/service/organization. You can read our
prospective vendor letter by clicking here. (see our
Vendor Info page) |

|
|
| What is MARS Reptile & Amphibian Rescue? |
| |
We are a rescue and adoption service that is an outgrowth of MARS. We have a
staff veterinarian who checks out the animals who need veterinary services. The
animals are only placed when they are healthy or if the adopter is aware of the
condition of the animal and agrees to the treatment. We do not deal with any
wildlife, only pet reptiles and amphibians. Occasionally we do take in
arachnids because the shelters don’t have anyone else who will take them. All
of our animals have an adoption fee which helps to cover our operating
expenses. None of our staff receives a salary. (see our
Rescue & Adoption section) |
| |
|
| How can I surrender my pet to MARS Reptile &
Amphibian Rescue? |
| |
We require the pet owner to bring the animal to us (if at all possible). We
also like to get a donation with the animal as well as any caging and supplies
that you might have. This helps us to care for your pet while it is here. Due
to space limitations, sometimes we may not have space for your animal and you
might be put on a waiting list. It is wise to start looking for a home as soon
as you know you need to place your animal. Waiting until the last minute may
reduce the chances of us being able to place your pet. (see our
Contact section to inquire further) |

|
| How can I adopt a pet from MARS Reptile &
Amphibian Rescue? |
| |
We now have an online adoption application service! You can browse our Current
Pet Listings directly our website. Once you have found a pet that you are
interested in, click the "Adopt Me" button on the pet's detail page. Next, you
must read, understand, and agree to our terms before continuing. You are then
required to fill out our online adoption application form for the adoptive pet.
Upon submitting the form, an email will be sent to us with your adoption
application attached. We will review your application and contact you directly
to discuss your application. During busy times, we may not be able to get back
to you immediately. If you have not heard from us within one week, please try
contacting us via email or phone from our "Contact" section. (see our
Current Pet Listing page) |
| |
|
| What happens to the animals that MARS Reptile &
Amphibian Rescue receives? |
| |
Most of the time, the animals are placed with new adoptive families. Rarely, we
will keep the animal for its life and use it for our educational outreach
programs. If the animal is ill, decisions are made as to whether the animal
should be humanely euthanized or treated. We try to treat all animals whenever
possible. (see our Current Pet
Listing page) |
