OK, admittedly, I'm not a leo expert when it comes to morphs, but saw this little guy at Petco yesterday for $15 (50% sale this month), and couldn't pass him up. He has a small kink at the tip of his tail, but nothing that will interfere with anything. Not sure if the kink is why he was...

Just thought I'd share a little project I slowly worked on over the last couple weeks. My baby leo had outgrown his nursery, so took a 10gl I had on hand and decided I'd do it up natural style for him. This is my first attempt at doing a decent display viv, so I think it came out pretty well...

My corns are being lazy and stubborn so far, but my MBKs didn't feel like wasting any time. Charo just laid her first clutch. All looked fertile when candled, but they weren't as obvious to see as corn eggs. These are quite a bit larger than corn eggs as well. I'm on my way to increasing the...

Decided to introduce my 2 MBKs this afternoon, and my boy Rico Suave lived up to his name, gotta tell ya, lol. He went right for Charo and they're currently making sweet whoopie. :dancer: Just excited for my first non-corn hookup, so had to share. And for anyone who may be looking for MBKs...

Got my xmas present a little early, since s/he couldn't exactly stay wrapped up in a box till morning. That and I already knew what I was getting because it was my idea, lol. But anyway, got myself another lizard since I've been having so much fun with my crestie. Too young for me to sex yet...

Took a ride out to the annual LIHS herp show this morning and finally gave in and got on the lavendar bandwagon. So here's the latest upgrade to my future breeding stock, BamBam. Possible het for at least caramel and blood, so it should be fun pairing him up with different ladies in a few...

My kitty, Winnie, wanted me to show off her new big screen TV, lol. It's an old bookcase converted into a 3 story rat condo. My rat population grew a bit recently, so had to expand the living area. I was rather proud of how it turned out. Now just have to see how easy or hard it'll be to keep...

Living where I do, there isn't much nature to catch or get excited about, but today, while doing yardwork, I finally found something at least somewhat interesting. Found a little community of praying mantis (brown and green) so caught 1 of each and doing a little research to see if I can try my...

Just got my BCI, Duff, moved into his new cage. Yeah, I know, nothing fancy or showy, but I'm happy with it (from Reptile Basics). I had to add some extra security to the doors for my own peace of mind, as the included latches could be moved from the inside, and if my wife found him out and...

Another snake addict (well, if I have any say in it that is, lol) has joined the world today. Been a looooong and crazy day, but so worth every second. Especially considering I had the easy part, I suppose. Anyway, here's Keira... the absolute, positively, and I mean it this time, last human...

Here's the main reason I was taking pics today. Had to get an updated shot of my boy, Pip (my first ever hatchling), for registration purposes. He's just a normal/het amel, but I'm loving the way he's turning out. Here's a fresh out of the egg pic along with a shot from today to show how much...

Don't really post many pics, but finally got around to getting some updated shots, so figured I'd show off the change in Roxie, my blood girl. Baby shot and one from today (all 270 grams of her):

Had to wait an extra day to get my father's day present, but it was SOOOOO worth it. Went out on my lunch break to pick up this pair. I don't look at it as jumping on the MBK bandwagon, more as finally giving in to the alluring call of the siren :crazy02: . The plan was just to get one, but the...

Just a quick question for any long-time boa keepers that might read this. Is it normal for the boys to get really nervous and jumpy around mating season, even if there are no females around (well, no boid females, anyway)? My BCI is about 3, and all of a sudden this spring he's been really...

He was only with us for a few days, but he had popped and crawled his way into our family that first night he joined the world. Not sure exactly why, but he quickly deteriorated last night and was gone by this morning. At least his sister is thriving and eating everything in site, and mom...
