Chinese Cave Geckos Debut at Jurassic Gardens This Month

Jurassic Gardens is excited to welcome a brand-new species to the collection Chinese Cave Geckos are officially arriving this month!

Native to the rocky, humid forests of southern China and Vietnam, these stunning geckos are famous for their bold orange eyes, speckled camouflage, and secretive cave-dwelling lifestyle. Unlike many common pet geckos, Chinese Cave Geckos thrive in cool, shaded environments and are most active at night, making them a fascinating species rarely seen in person.

Guests visiting Jurassic Gardens inside the Volo Museum will be able to see these incredible reptiles up close as they settle into their new habitat and become part of our growing educational collection. Their arrival helps expand our mission of showcasing unique and lesser-known reptile species while teaching visitors about habitat diversity, conservation, and reptile behavior.

Stop by during our regular hours or during our monthly meet-and-greet events to meet the newest members of the Jurassic Gardens family!

Hi, I’m Ryan

reptile rescuer, wildlife educator, and founder of Scale World Order, LLC and I’m building something that’s never been seen before in my community: a public reptile and wildlife facility where rescued animals get a second chance, and visitors get a first-hand look at just how amazing they really are.

I’ve spent years working with incredible creatures — from powerful pythons and ancient alligator snapping turtles to gentle tortoises and brilliantly colored lizards. These animals aren’t just “cool to look at” they’re vital to our ecosystems, yet they’re often feared, misunderstood, or abandoned. I’ve seen too many reptiles in small tanks, unsafe cages, or simply dumped into the wild where they can’t survive. That ends here.

My dream is bold:

  • A rescue and rehabilitation center for reptiles and other wildlife in need of urgent care

  • Massive, naturalistic enclosures designed to meet each animal’s specific needs — from humidity-controlled snake habitats to sun-soaked tortoise yards

  • An interactive visitor experience where people can get up close, ask questions, and even meet some of our animal ambassadors

  • Educational programs for schools, families, and community groups to spark curiosity and inspire conservation

Imagine walking through a facility where you can see a 15-foot python gliding through crystal-clear water, watch a black-throat monitor bask under heat lamps, or learn how a Mata Mata turtle perfectly camouflages in its habitat. Every exhibit will be a chance to replace fear with fascination.

This campaign is the first step in making it all happen. Your support will fund enclosures, heating and lighting systems, veterinary care, permits, and the build-out of a safe, engaging space for both animals and guests.

Every dollar you give doesn’t just buy supplies it builds a future where these misunderstood creatures get the respect, care, and protection they deserve.

Join me in making this dream a reality for the animals, for the community, and for the next generation of wildlife lovers.

GO FUND ME!
