Hey everyone! It has been so so long since I have been on here... it makes me sad. Life has been nuts the past couple of months, and I apologize for coming on here just to ask a question! Over the past few weeks my blue tongued skink has been making weird hacking noises. To me it sounds as if...

Hey everyone! So, I won something (as you can tell from my post title). I know it seems very excitable, but it's not a car or anything. But, I never win anything ever, so I am super pumped! At the CRBE in Toronto last weekend I put my name in all the draws, because, why the heck not? Got a...

Hey everyone! So as a few of you may remember, I recently got a blue tongued skink -- who BALLOONED in a few short weeks, by the way. All summer I've been working on fixing up an old, yucky PVC tank that I got for cheap. It couldn't come at a better time than now, one week after we moved into a...

Hi all!! I've been away for about 2 weeks, visiting my family in Northwestern Ontario. Decent visit, but not always the nicest weather. Anywho. I left my critters in the care of my 18 year-old brother in law... and by that, I mean he fed and watered Azure, my blue tongued skink, while the...

Hello! So Azure, my first little nugget, is settling in nicely. Today marks 2 weeks that I've had her, which isn't long but there's been tonnes of progress - so to speak! I say she, but could very well be a he. Only time will tell. Since I've received Azure, she has been eating like a champ...

Hey everyone! I am so, so thrilled to present to you, my blue-tongued skink! I had mentioned a little while ago that I was in contact with a breeder in Canada, and the day finally came to meet and get my little one. I am super excited (and a bit nervous as I've never had a lizard before) and...

Hey everyone! I have been away this past week on a bit of a vacation, tent camping on Manitoulin Island in "Northern" Ontario. My partner stumbled across a garter snake one day, which lead to me unintentionally herping! My partners uncle has been camping on this particular piece of family land...

Hi all, So I am about to embark on a new journey... one involving a blue tongued skink! I have never had a lizard before, just the snakes. Thought it was time to try something a bit different :) I have everything all set up and will be meeting with a Canadian breeder in a couple of weeks.. EEK...

Hey everyone, My partner and I will be moving near the end of the summer, and I haven't ever had to move with my critters before. We were hoping to be able to have about a week or two overlap between places so we could slowly move our things out, rather than all at once. I always wondered...

Hey all! Not to jinx anything, but I will be picking up a(nother) PVC enclosure on Saturday that I got for a wicked deal! It's a 48"x24"x12" locking PVC - identical to my other PVC enclosure. I found it on Kijiji, used in great shape. Talked the guy down to $80! Anyway, I am hoping to put...

I just love seeing the difference between corns and when they grow. I haven't felt the need to do a progression thread, since I don't see myself committing to it all that much... so I hope these random updates every many months will do! This is my only corn, a snow named Sydney. She's my...

I am SO excited to show you all these! If you recall, in February I mentioned that I had been asked to bring my corn snake, Sydney, to a photo shoot for my university's annual (and humongous) charity fashion show. At the beginning of March is when the shoot took place, and it went over very...

The most unusual thing happened last night... I had to just stop and laugh! My young male ball python, Beau, had been in shed for nearly 3 weeks. He finally shed two days ago (and subsequently refused to eat... but I digress). Last night I put my hand in while he was resting to see if he'd some...

Hello! If you hadn't seen my earlier post a few weeks ago, I'll just get you up to speed. The university I attend (University of Waterloo in Ontario) holds a huge charity fashion show every year. It's a pretty extravagant event. This year they were doing themed photo shoots beforehand, to put...

How do you resist the urge to tell someone they are doing something wrong with their pets?? My partner's cousin was just (and I mean JUST - yesterday) saying how he really wanted a ball python and his friend is a "breeder". All he kept going on about was what morph he was gunna get and how they...
