The scale World order is an organization for education and dedication to wiildlife Hello everyone!

My name is Ryan and I am the founder of sWo (scale World order) and if you think I ripped that off from an 90's wrestling stable then.... Keep walking don't worry about it.... Anyways! me and my team are a group of reptile enthusiasts looking to start promoting awareness and education across the territory. We are working out of Lake Geneva, Wisconsin and service most of the surrounding areas of Wisconsin and Illinois even further given travel. We look to provide you with an understand and new found love for these creatures and let you get a first hand experience with living looking dinosaurs (yes, we know birds) Come and enjoy some interactive experiences and take a photo with a large snake or lizard and feed a big ol tortoise and be amazing at some unique species you may never see anywhere else. We look to start taking surrenders and allowing adoptions (within law and expertise) of creatures we get calls for to give them a new lease on life. Now who I am well I am a former Animal Control Officer and Wildlife Tech whom studied herpetology and a major enthusiast of the exotic. I have dealt with things from bearded dragon to alligators you name it! I want to share my wildlife experience and knowledge with you and assist my community the best way I can so please check us out and give us a shout out!

🌊 A BIGGER HOME FOR OUR FLY RIVER TURTLE! 🌊

Another exciting habitat upgrade here at Scale World Order!

Our incredible Fly River Turtle, also known as the Pig-Nosed Turtle, has officially moved into a much larger setup!

While this isn't intended to be its permanent home, it's a significant improvement that provides more swimming space, more room to explore, and a better environment as we continue planning for an even larger, long-term habitat.

Native to northern Australia and southern New Guinea, Fly River Turtles are among the most unique freshwater turtles in the world! Unlike most freshwater turtles, they possess flipper-like limbs resembling those of sea turtles, making them exceptional swimmers.

🦎 Closing Out September with our triple horned Rhino!

Nothing crazy happening today, we just figured your feed could use a Rhinoceros Iguana. 😎

Rhinoceros Iguanas get their name from the horn-like scales on their snout, giving them that prehistoric look we absolutely love! Native to the Caribbean, these impressive iguanas are powerful, intelligent, and definitely one of the coolest reptiles to meet up close.

🐢 ARE TORTOISES ACTUALLY TURTLES?
Technically… YES!

Scientifically, all tortoises belong to the order Testudines, meaning:

All tortoises are turtles but not all turtles are tortoises.

But here at Scale World Order, we still think there’s a good reason to distinguish between the two!

🌵 TORTOISES are primarily land-dwellers. They typically have thick, sturdy, elephant-like legs and heavily domed shells adapted for life on land.

💧 TURTLES include species adapted to freshwater, wetlands, rivers, lakes, and oceans. Many have flatter or more streamlined shells and feet adapted for swimming.

Compare one of our 40-pound Sulcata tortoises walking across dry land to our aquatic Fly River turtle cruising through the water, and the difference becomes pretty obvious!

So yes, if someone tells you a tortoise is technically a turtle, they're scientifically correct.
But “tortoise” isn't just another word for turtle. Tortoises represent a highly terrestrial branch of the turtle family tree with their own specialized adaptations.

Same order. Different lifestyles. Both incredible reptiles. 🐢🌎

🐍🌴 BEWARE BOIÚNA 🌴🐍
Giant snake fans, this one is for us.

BEWARE BOIÚNA is bringing giant-serpent horror back to the big screen, taking audiences deep into the Amazon rainforest where an expedition discovers that some legends are better left undisturbed.

Inspired by the legendary Boiúna of Amazonian folklore, the film unleashes a colossal serpent upon a group fighting to survive deep within its territory.

This isn’t just another snake in the jungle the Boiúna is rooted in stories of an enormous, supernatural serpent associated with the rivers and waterways of the Amazon.

And seriously… where are our 1997 ANACONDA fans at?! If you remember watching Jennifer Lopez, Ice Cube and Jon Voight head into the Amazon back in 1997, there’s something incredibly nostalgic about seeing a giant snake stalking people through the jungle on the big screen again nearly 30 years later.

The Boiúna may come from legend, but the animals that inspired mankind’s fascination with giant serpents are VERY real.

🎬BEWARE BOIÚNA
slithers into theaters October 2, 2026.

Support creature features. Support animal-inspired movies. And most importantly…
GO SEE THE BIG SNAKE! But remember y'all come to
Jurassic Gardens at Volo Museum to see fact from fiction we promise you the real thing isn't as scary as you'd think.

Then come see Scale World Order and meet some of our own BIG serpents in real life including massive pythons, boas, and even a growing Green Anaconda.

See the legend on the big screen.
Meet the real giants with Scale World Order. 🐍
