A place to see all the antics of our cold blooded critters and shop for your next snek frend

YAY! 🎉This nearly 3-month-old corn snake girl had NEVER taken a voluntary meal—until tonight! 🥳

I’ve force fed her a couple times but she just wasn’t taking off. After trying all kinds of scents as well as live pinkies with no result, I was about ready to give up on her and offer her to one of our kingsnakes. Finally tonight, I yet again offered her a newborn pinkie. When I checked an hour later…no luck. When I checked several hours later: look at that gorgeous full belly! 😍

SO glad I didn’t give up on her. 💕 I need to get a picture of her with her lookalike brother (they’re both peach fire tesseras het lavender, anery)—their size difference is crazy. The difference between a solid eater and a problem eater from day 1: she has this huge belly lump from a newborn pinkie, while he’s already on peach fuzzies!

Brian bought this particularly gorgeous snake at last night’s USARK auction 😝 🥃

Our Pacific tree frogs are dumb, but their mealworm and cricket meals are dumber. But the frogs win the cute factor! 🐸

We have the frogs in a small paludarium with a 4gal aquatic portion on the bottom. The mealworms and crickets have a thing for jumping/falling into the water, ignoring the various plants and driftwood they could use as a ladder to escape, and then drowning and fouling up the water and gumming up the filter. The frogs are also dumb and don’t seem to see the food on the ground if I put the bugs in a feeding dish, so the bugs escape/die/sit there while the frogs get skinny (I’d like to point out that when the frogs were in a regular small terrarium, they didn’t make this mistake 🙄). So, I tried a couple of these suction cup fake leaf feeder dishes—later adding a bit of carrot to keep the mealworms from sky diving out if it—and voila! Frogs are eating and minimal mealworms ending up in the tank. But man, the dumb is strong.

(FTR the mini tank has some shrimp, a pygmy corycat, and two bumble bee gobies.)

Some of our remaining 2025 babies ❤️ Trying to post to a photo album (which FB has made very difficult to do, ugh) so you all can always see our behbehs 💕🐍

I love this girl’s head and neck pattern! It’s like part of the head stamp came off on her neck and stuck there😆

This is one of the craziest outcomes I've had in breeding, ever. This girl isn't a superconda--she's an *extreme* (and dang, I mean extreme) high expression anaconda. Dad is a regularly patterned lavender het albino 50% het axanthic; Mom is a axanthiconda het lavender, albino (as pics of them show). There are *28* siblings across 2 clutches to this girl, and none of them have a pattern anything CLOSE to hers. Probably just a fluke; expression can vary widely and apparently it went *really* wide with her--but even so, she is clearly a keeper. 🔥🥰

And THIS is why I always have my camera ready when I’m feeding the baby dorks 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 (He was properly redirected right after this pic. Also that’s a bit of bedding in the corner of his mouth—he must have scooped some up in his open mouthed, throw himself at the tongs enthusiasm🤪)

🥹 Seven years later, he’s still my (no longer little) helper.

Also, teenagers don’t smile for their parents’ camera, even when giving permission to post their pics. 😏

What does it say about this girl's photo session that THIS is her best pic?? Urates and p**p and musk and bedding stuck to said wet urates and p**p and musk...

Weird circumstances even for us led to this new addition to our home (well, currently, Brian’s classroom). In short: got a call from a school admin that they had intercepted a Madagascar hissing cockroach in the district mail. They were dealing with the drama over the whos and the whats and the whys, but meanwhile — what to do with the critter? Hmm. They knew of just two people in the whole district that may be interested in taking it in and called us first. Surrrrre, why not? 😆 🪳
