Scaly Daycare
Information Before Boarding
Leave for a vacation with the peace of mind! Board your reptile with us for up to 6 months. Our team is dedicated to providing the needed care and attention on a daily basis to all the animals in our permanent and temporary care.
Get Familiar With Our Terms
By providing exotic animal housing services to our customers, we take temporary responsibility for a housed animal to provide:
- a safe enclosure fully equipped with appropriate heating, lighting and level of humidity specifically for each housed animal;
- a feeding schedule for a specific reptile which includes proper diet (+ vitamin supplements if required) and feeding supervision/assistance (if needed);
- assurance that a housed animal will be returned to its owner on a requested date in the same condition it was accepted for housing.
This means that you don't have to bring any enclosure necessities with you, unless you wish to surround your pet with its habitual accessories!
Please be aware of certain circumstances and cases Royal Python’s Cove LLC cannot be held responsible for:
- rejection of the request to house an animal by an RPC representative caused by: (1) Health conditions that are considered unacceptable (severe physical body/face/cloacae damage which may require veterinary treatment; signs of severe dehydration/underweight which may cause soon death); (2) Present contagious disease(s) or/and mite infestation; (3) If an animal is on the Do-Not-House List (see on page 2);
- death during housing caused by present progressing sickness that RPC was not notified about by an animal owner, in which case RPC is not responsible for loss reimbursement;
- failure of an animal owner to arrive on time to pick-up a housed animal. If the animal owner does not notify RPC about extending the housing period, this will result in a $20.00 of late fee per every day of overstay. Please contact our team before your pick-up date to extend your housing period and avoid late fees and possible consequences: (1) In case the animal owner fails to show up or provide an update to our team back within one (1) month after the agreed pick-up date, Royal Python's Cove LLC will take the housed animal in permanent possession without notifying a customer; (2) By failing to pay late fees at pick-up, you automatically pass the right of possession of an animal to Royal Python's Cove LLC.
We want every customer to be aware of certain unforeseen circumstances that, while unlikely, could possibly occur:
- An animal making its way out of a housed enclosure: (1) If our team fails to find a housed animal within 24 hours since found missing, an animal owner will be notified about an accident immediately. (2) An owner of a housed animal that went missing has the right to either get a similar-cost/morph animal as a replacement OR receive a guaranteed reimbursement in the amount of the total paid for the entire time of housing.
- An animal not willing to eat its regular food listed by an owner: (1) RPC team has the right to offer a variety of feeders to a housed animal in order to normalize further meal consumption; (2) An animal owner will be requested a permission to switch frozen diet to live or vice versa only if necessary.
