Merlin getting some dinner.💚🦖💚

Have you ever seen a snake drink water?Here’s Maize drinking some fresh water after I cleaned her bowl. 💚🐍💚

Merlin’s first meal with us! He ate some superworms. 💚🦎💚🪱

Scooter Update: He didn’t gain any weight today, but he didn’t Lose any so that’s good!Gave him a bath, then here’s me giving him his Critical Care and washing his eye out. There’s still a film over his eyes from the stuck shed. Fingers Crossed!💚🦎💚

Dr Alan Grant Update:Turns out he’s a she!! Also check out this awesome new mansion he’s in! From being abandoned in a parking lot to this makes our hearts full!❤️💚❤️🦎

Daisy!Daisy’s eyes are all back to normal! When we got her her eyes were totally shut due to an infection and stuck shed. She was also underweight. We are running a test on her this week and then hopefully we can adopt her out soon!! Thanks everyone for following her journey and giving us encouragement 💚🦎💚

Falkor got an upgrade for his tank today! We made a bioactive tank for him aka a fully functional environment with live plants and a cleanup crew of springtails and isopods. This was possible due to a very generous donation from an LSU vet school student.

Meet our newest surrender Pumpkin! She’s an African Sideneck Turtle. She’s about 5 years old and seems to be in good health. Cool Facts: because of their long necks they can’t pull their heads back like other species of turtles but put it to the side. Also because of their long necks they can right themselves if they ever find themselves on their backs unlike most species of turtles.

Pico💚🦎💚 To everyone new Pico was surrendered to us with MBD. Lucky he was young and we treated it so he’s gotten a lot better (his bones aren’t so wobbly and he doesn’t walk as weird, as well as put in weight). You can tell in the video that his front legs are shaped differently (bent weird). We love Pico

Daisy ❤️💚

Daisy Update: Her last night after her soak, eye flush, eye drops, and dinner. BOTH of their eyes are open!! One of them is still half open some of the times but it’s still getting better each day. She’s up to 37 grams, 2 grams since last post and 12 since we got her. It’s looking like she could be healthy enough to adopt out one day!💚🦎💚

Daisy Update: She’s up 11 grams since we got her. She still gets her Critical Care along with a superworm or roach a night. Along with her soaks, eye rinses, eye drops, and Silver Sulfadiazine for her eyes. I just got what looks like the last of the stuck shed off her eyes and she’s been opening them both so it’s looking hopeful.💚🦎💚

DAISY UPDATE: This is HUGE! Daisy has finally started to eat some on her own! Since this sweet girl has come to us, we’ve had to syringe feed her because her eyes are so infected she couldn’t see to hunt. We’ve been doing subcutaneous fluids, anti inflammatory injections, flushing her eyes, and applying a few different eye medications several times a day but all the hard work is FINALLY paying off! This little lady is a fighter! Taking care of these cases are tough because we get so attached. Every victory means so much but it also means treatment can become very expensive. If you can help in anyway wether that be through a donation or just by sharing this post, it would mean so much to us and sweet Daisy! Thank you to everyone who’s asked for updates and all her doctors that are continuing to help us with her care. WE’RE ROOTING FOR YOU DAISY! 🌼

Daisy Update: She has gained grams since we got her on August 20. Tomorrow is the last day of subcutaneous fluids. We have 3 more days of injecting medicine in her arm to help reduce pain and inflammation. Before the video we soaked and put her eye drops in. This is me putting the Silver Sulfadiazine Cream in her eyes. She seems to be doing a little better everyday. We will keep y’all posted. Keep your fingers crossed. 💚🦎💚

Daisy Update: Daisy has a fungal bacterial infection in her eyes. It’s going to take time and money. We started her on some new eye drops and another medication. The doctors are optimistic for sure and she still has tons of energy. If anyone would like to donate through our GoFundMe (in comments) or another way we would greatly appreciate it. You can always PM us if you can’t find a way to donate. Thanks so much for all y’all’s support from us and Daisy. 💚🦎💚

Daisy Update: She was shedding last night so I soaked her and helped with her shed and put her drops in and then took this video. It’s the first time she’s opened her eyes!! There still seems to be some stuck shed and we aren’t sure if they will work correctly, but it’s an improvement and we’ll take it💚🦎💚

Daisy Update: She has an appointment at LSU Tuesday to see the ophthalmologist. She has gained one more gram for a total of 7 grams since we got her. She’s hanging in there.💚🦎💚
