We bought a few racks for the snakes this spring, so we had several vivs left empty. We have been talking about getting something other than snakes to fill a few of them, and our daughter finally decided on crested geckos (and a beardie, but that will have to wait) First added was Pumpkin...

This is Espeon. Parents are Nox and Kash, both charcoals het for amel, ph bloodred and motley. I was trying to get opinions on whether she may be a motley blizzard or possibly a whiteout (she's not going to be bred, so this is for my own peace of mind). And her belly: She is notoriously...

We have discussed getting chinchillas for the past few years, but never bit the bullet. Until yesterday, when we saw a pair up for adoption at the local shelter. They came with a huge cage (we were worried about having enough room for it...it's a massive thing and capable of being split into two...

A few pictures of the little ones we kept from our breeding last year. The parents are Kash and Nox, a pair of charcoal het amel beauties I was lucky enough to get from Katie (ArpeggioAngel). This is Espeon. Espeon is kind of our miracle snakelet, because she absolutely refused to eat for the...

http://myfox8.com/2012/09/09/nypd-uncovers-stash-of-exotic-animals/ More brilliant reporting :( And by brilliant, I mean not remotely.

We had three non-feeders out of the clutch of 15 babies. Two of them I wasn't too worried about, as they were two of the biggest in the clutch, and were visibly drinking and leaving little poos. One of them finally ate the last time we fed, and the other looked interested but not quite...

I must say handling my bf's boa made me really want one of my own...although we mostly share all the snakes and don't distinguish mine/yours/ours...except when it comes to cleaning up especially foul poops ;) But anyway, when I had a chance to get a hypo boa for essentially free, I jumped on...

Day 79...and we have pips :) Eight pips out of the 16 eggs that we have. Parents are both charcoal het amel (ph bloodred)...Equinox and Kashmir (a wonderful pair we got from Katie/ArpeggioAngel) These are two of our new arrivals poking their heads out...more pictures as they come out :D...

This is Bitey, our Sonoran boa. Her name is actually Psyche (her first saddle is heart-shaped), but as she is sometimes cage-aggressive, she acquired the nickname Bitey almost as a joke. Bitey close-up... And Bitey's belly:

It was a beautiful day out yesterday, so we decided to take a few of our snakes out and let them enjoy both the sunshine and some of the houseplants we have sitting on the porch. First we have Nina, a normal from PJC Reptiles. She was moving too fast to get many good pictures. She seemed to...

Equinox and her eggs :) She was a little late for Mother's day, and a little early for by bf's birthday. But right on time according to her schedule. Equinox is a charcoal het amel ph blood red we got last year from ArpeggioAngel (along with Kashmir, also charcoal het amel ph blood red: he's...

She doesn't have a name yet...I bought her for my bf, who's currently away at basic training. He's wanted a boa for the longest time, and I finally found him the perfect one :) She's a leopard Sonoran boa :) She arrived this morning, and is the absolute calmest snake ever...although she...

Our snow, Angel, investigating the Tardis.

At least I'm pretty sure it's her tummy. The problem is with our hatchling. She first regurged on 8/13. We followed protocol, she had four successful feedings until 9/23. We first noticed a slight distention to her belly on 9/16, but as she was deeply blue and nearing shed, we hoped that it was...

Not to worry...the dragons are merely props. The bf got a dragon-encrusted knife and stand (no, it's not remotely sharp, the edge is flattened...I made extra sure before turning my snake babies loose on it) First up, Darque by herself: And on the dragon. Note this does have HDL processing, but...
