Keepers only

Everyone here keeps reptiles or amphibians. Nobody has to explain the feeder freezer.

No algorithms

Browse is newest-active first. You search, you filter, you decide. Nothing is ranked for you.

No ads. Ever.

No ad network, no boosts for sale, no paid visibility, no 'who viewed you' upsells.

Safety-first

Every profile is approved by a person. Reports are reviewed within 24 hours.

Fair, simple messaging

Joining, browsing and replying are free for everyone. Starting a new conversation uses a messaging plan — one price for everyone. Women can send the first message of a new conversation free.

Founding launch: messaging is free while we launch. Nobody is charged.

Photo verification

Members can take a photo holding a handwritten code word. A person on our team checks it matches their profile photos. It shows their photos are of a real person — it is not a background or ID check.
