Sponsorship Scheme

• We have now taken over 500 rescued or illegally imported animals but the cost of feeding, housing and caring for them all adds up. The income from entrance fees to the Serpentarium does not cover everything, especially with the short tourist season on Skye, so in 1998 we introduced an annual sponsorship scheme for the rescued reptiles.

• The scheme covers all the Serpentarium animals ranging from White's Tree Frogs to Large Green Iguanas and Mangrove Monitor Lizards. Sponsors choose the level of sponsorship they want for a year (from £10 upwards) and which animal to sponsor (details are listed on the form). A Sponsorship certificate and newsletter is then sent and we also display all the sponsors names on the front of their selected animal exhibit. Only 25 pence per sponsorship goes towards administration of the scheme.

• If you would like to sponsor an animal, please fill in our sponsorship form, print it off and send it to us by post with your remittance. (Sorry, we can't yet process on-line payments)
  
• We are very grateful for the generosity of all our individual sponsors (now totalling over 100) and in particular to a sponsor who wishes to remain anonymous for sponsoring a complete reptile exhibit. But we continually need new sponsors, whether individuals, small companies or larger corporations, for the animals and exhibits.
  
• We're also happy to accept donations towards caring for the animals and for building new, or refurbishing existing housing for the animals. We also have a 'wish list' which you may be able to help us with?
