Discontinued
I'm Alex, I co-created Emerald Scales and with the help of many others, we rehomed and sold hundreds of exotic pet reptiles and amphibians to and from all 48 contiguous US states.
As of the end of 2022, Emerald Scales is no longer an active project. It was exciting to explore, but the concept simply isn't sustainable. It was an eventful 5 years!

who is "we"?
While you generally saw one dude unboxing reptiles, there were a dozen enthusiasts hard at work behind-the-scenes handling animal care, logistics, customer support, video production, social media, local pickups, deliveries and much more.
