How to Safely Contain an Injured Reptile/Amphibian

1. Gather materials needed for a safe rescue. Items you will need: gloves, a towel or blanket for capture, and a box/pet carrier/other animal-proof container with airflow.

2. Wear gloves. Lightweight or disposable gloves should be worn when capturing a reptile or amphibian.

3. Use a towel or blanket to gently cover the entire reptile/amphibian. Ensure that the head and eyes are fully covered. When eyes are covered, it helps keep them calm in stressful situations and they are less likely to defend themselves or try to get away.

4. Gently pick up the reptile/amphibian by the body and place it into the box/pet carrier/other animal-proof container for transport.

After Hours Care Instructions

1. Ensure that the reptile/amphibian is safely contained in a box, pet carrier, or other animal-proof container with airflow. Keep the animal in a dark, quiet, warm location away from pets, children, and loud noises. This is to help reduce stress as much as possible for the animal.

2. DO NOT ADMINISTER FOOD OR FLUID. This can lead to accidental aspiration of the food or fluid which can be fatal for the animal. An improper diet can also lead to health complications that can later be fatal.

3. DO NOT HANDLE THE REPTILE/AMPHIBIAN. Wild animals can carry diseases and parasites that can be transmitted to humans and pets. If they are injured, they are also in pain. Handling a wild animal unnecessarily causes undue stress and pain.

4. Transport the reptile/amphibian to Wildlife Images as soon as possible.

***In Oregon, you cannot hold a wild animal in captivity for more than 48 hours unless you have a Wildlife Rehabilitation or Wildlife Holding Permit issued by the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife. Knowingly removing an animal from the wild and keeping it for more than 48 hours in your possession is illegal.***
