Animal
Adoptions
The reptiles and amphibians at My Nature Lab are an integral part of our educational programming and effort to promote conservation through education. Seeing, holding, and experiencing the animals up close and personal in a safe environment is impactful. It has a profound and unique way of inspiring people of all ages to care about species they may have feared or ignored before. It expands minds, opens hearts, and saves lives. With the animals at My Nature Lab, we turn fear into fascination and inspire the next generation of ecologists, biologists, and conservationists.
Holiday Critter Adoption Program
Animal adoptions are a fun, meaningful way to support My Nature Lab. Your adoption helps provide food, habitat care, enrichment, and educational programming — while giving you exclusive digital content, updates, and a deeper connection to your chosen animal.
Adoption Tiers
Our adoption tiers are designed to let you choose how deeply you want to connect with and support your animal, with each higher tier adding more personalized content, behind-the-scenes access, and ways to experience the Lab. Choosing a higher tier directly increases your impact on animal care and education while giving you unique videos, digital keepsakes, and in-person experiences you can’t get anywhere else.
