Brent is the brains and hard work behind Reptile Invasion. With a heart for these animals he daily cares for each and every critter that comes into the rescue’s care. We need more people in the world like Brent.  

 Jess sees the vision of what Reptile Invasion could be. Jess is constantly finding ways to educate everyone around her about these incredible creatures. With her vision and work ethnic hopefully someday rescues will be out of busiiness, 

DeAnna aka Mimzy’s mom. I have known Jess for roughly 7 seven years. We met doing dog rescue and just clicked. Then along came Brent and Reptile Invasion. I’ve had the pleasure of watching their passion and dream become a reality. For the last 10 years I have been heavily involved in dog and cat rescue. For the better part of 20 years I have done fundraising for a few organizations. I have a strong love for all animals and Jess has for the past few years been asking me to help. After taking a break from furry critters I missed rescue and decided to help the scaled ones. I have had a love for the odd and misunderstood since I was young. I always love snakes, turtles, frogs, toads and and salamanders. After getting my first ball python a few years ago I have fallen head over heals for them and am now coined the crazy snake lady to my friends. I am Reptile Invasions first foster and always am willing to find a spot when needed. I also have a very tolerant and patient husband who has an equal love of reptiles and enjoys it as much as i do. I love educating people and helping them conquer their fears. There is nothing better than helping someone overcome the fear of what they don’t understand. We currently have 33 ball pythons, 2 corn snakes, a bearded dragon, a painted river turtle, 4 cats and a dog.

 Renee and Ethan just started coming to events in 2021 and couldn’t stop coming back thanks to Ethan’s love of the snakes. Renee brought her family to an event at the Markets in Hanover and Ethan quickly fell in love with the snakes. Renee had always had a terrible fear of snakes but had wanted to attend events to learn more and teach her three sons not to be scared of them. Since attending events she had a party, and even have geared some of their homeschool lessons around learning more about the reptiles that they have met. They reached out to Jess about volunteering and the rest is history.

Wyatt is 11 years old and has 3 years of experience with reptiles. His favorite reptile is a Tegu. He started volunteering with Reptile Invasion after visiting a show with his mom and talking to Miss Jess and Mr. Brent about bringing his baby alligator and helping at some events. His favorite part about volunteering is seeing and holding all the reptiles. He has 33 animals.

Ashley’s favorite reptile is a turtle. She met Jess and Brent during some local events. Her family followed them for years until her son was old enough and showed an interest in volunteering. Her favorite part of volunteering is watching her son be apart of something he is so passionate about. She has approximately 8 reptiles in our home, including a baby alligator.

Ronnie has had years of experience working with reptiles He began working with Reptile Invasion about 4 years ago right after he got his first snake.
His favorite Reptile Invasion reptile is Tiny the Reticulated Python
He came to volunteer with Reptile Invasion when Jessica knew him as a student first then they crossed paths at That Fish Place during one of the reptile events. He began volunteering almost immediately. His favorite part of volunteering is getting to teach people that reptiles are not scary and teaching them that all the myths they hear are not true. He has two reptiles – Luna a ball python and Axle a western hognose.

Nikki has had reptiles as pets since she was a little girl. She has so many favorite reptiles it would be impossible to pick just one!!  She came to volunteer with Reptile Invasion a few years ago when she and her daughter saw them at That Fish Place in Lancaster. It was an amazing experience and they ended up spending almost the whole day with them!  They currently have two pets, a six year old Yorkiepoo and a five year old corn snake.  Their names are Scarlet and Tucker.

Amber met the amazing folks of Reptile Invasion in 2018 when she held their beautiful bearded dragon Lucy. From that day on she was hooked. In November of 2019 they bestowed upon her the one and only @lovelylennylizard and from that gateway reptile came Caliban the Crested Gecko and Sol the Bearded Dragon. Amber also has a lot of knowledge in caring for Axolotls so when axolotl rescues come into the rescue she is able to foster them before finding them good homes. Amber loves volunteering and helping educate others about these incredible creatures. Come to one of Reptile Invasions many events and ask about the Tale of Tails. 

Nancy has been been working with reptiles for two and a half years. She got involved by way of the kids. Her favorite part of volunteering is working with somebody who has never touched a snake and have them touch or hold one today, even if all they can manage is one finger touching.

Amanda has 20 years plus in owning reptiles and about 15 years of actual experience. Her favorite reptile is the tegu. She came to volunteer with reptile invasion by just basically showing up to every show and becoming a part of their volunteer family. Her favorite part of being a volunteer is helping people overcome their fears and making them comfortable with reptiles. She has a 12 yr old pit bull named Bizzle, a red tegu named pebbles and a desert hairy scorpion.

Bio Coming Soon

Jenn and her daughter Marissa met Jess approximately six years ago at a Dog Rescue’s Fundraiser Event- pet pics w/ Santa! Santa was too afraid to hold her sweet Rat, Sugar and his elf Jessica DID!! Since then she’s made her eldest daughters 18th bday cake and we’ve been to several Reptile Invasion events at the Markets. Her hubby’s afraid of snakes so Marissa and her started volunteering last July to “get our reptile fix”! They also bring their tortoise, Tori monthly so folks can meet her since Jess doesn’t have any tortoises.

Marissa loves all creatures but seems to LOVE milk snakes the most especially Nelson!  She really likes Bearded Dragons and geckos, hognose snakes and Arizona King Snakes  They look forward to boarding/fostering for the rescue and learning more
