Safe Haven Exotics is a rescue centre for reptiles, amphibians and invertebrates which is located on Codden hill in Barnstaple. Their aim is to help rehabilitate and rehome unwanted and abandoned exotics. The owners have been running the centre for almost 10 years and the rise in unwanted exotic pets have put them under a lot of pressure as the RSPCA don't have enough room for most of these animals.

The rescue centre is open to the public and allows people to learn about and interact with these amazing animals. They also give expert advice about caring for exotics and sell equipment and live or frozen food for reptiles.

Since they are not funded they are only getting money from donations and they are struggling. If they do not get enough donations there is a risk that they will have to close down and if the animals can't find a home they will have to be put down.

The money raised will help run the centre and will be used to build new enclosures to take in more animals.
