Hornworms are a not so often treat around here (they grow huge so fast and I’m always afraid they’ll bite back), so they make great bribery tools to get some pics and a little video. My usually fierce sweetheart, Stella. She’s so gentle when she grabs the yummy. I just have to make sure to keep...

I’m not sure who has been getting their grasshoppers from where. As far as I know, we only have had two sources of https://dragonhoppers.com/ and Kai Phan on Facebook, and he was out of business for a long time due to health issues. I just wanted to pass the word that Kai Phan has recovered and...

Last night my leopard gecko Tandy passed away as I held her on my chest. Once again, my heart has broken. She had been sleeping on the cool side and not under a hide and refused to eat yesterday. While she always went thru periods of having a picky appetite, holding out until I would offer the...

Aww…babies! 🤗

The difference between my friendliest boy, Mango and my beloved sassy Stella.

I love having the little slices of a forest in my bioactive enclosures, but sometimes trying to figure out if there’s unwanted pests drives me crazy. Then trying to naturally eliminate said pests and just get out the straitjacket! Yesterday I found some concerning signs in several enclosures. In...

I haven’t given Stella hibiscus to eat to its death since around the spring. Poor girl has had to make do with a pothos. It has exactly 1 1/4 leaves remaining on it. She even is munching on the baby shoots trying to sprout from the soil. She’s totally unrepentant…as she should be. 😂 💗

How sad. 🥺 Praying they get the help they need to continue their important work.

Chag urim sameach. Wishing the menorah brightens all of the love and happiness in your life. 💗

It’s that time of year again!

So, the fates have spoken and some random reptile eggs have found their way to me. (They were dug up by a landscaper who had no idea what to do with them other than offer them to me) No idea how they were positioned, how they were turned once moved or even if the big eggs and little eggs were in...

This might be a nice thing to do for the little ones in your life. Start them on the road to chameleon obsession early. The tail curls the wrong way, but they won’t notice. https://www.buildabear.com/search?q=Chameleon&search-button=&lang=en_US&brand=buildABear

Life has been keeping me so preoccupied, that I almost forgot my petite purple princess’ third gotcha day! She has brought such joy and happiness and I can’t imagine or believe that I had to be somewhat talked into taking her. Since she first arrived, I have been absolutely am smitten by my...

My big Cuban froggie friend has been getting busy I think on those times when he/she hasn’t been around and I suspect has custody of at least one of the bebes. Saw this little tiny cutie near the big froggie’s sleeping place. I assume it’s a bebe Cuban tree frog, but not sure. Only know that...

The other day Bart was looking down, surveying his kingdom and his peasant. This morning Bart made his usual run to get near enough to eat my eyeballs. Feeding the leopard gecko Handsome, when I look up and see this cutie patootie on her routine isopod hunt. It’s not like I had just given...

My grasshoppers arrived yesterday - yay?! 😬 I have them in an old med ReptiBreeze in the garage where it’s warm. I managed to put them in the enclosure when they arrived and gave them food. But earlier today I thought my girl beardie could use a treat and as soon as I opened the door, a hopper...

I’ve been negligent over the past few days, but I plead exhaustion from my job. Three of my crew have had their Gotcha day anniversaries. First is the always stunning and always fierce Stella. Yesterday was 5 years since I brought her home from a crappy Petco where she was digging in the mud of...

After trying my hand at breeding various insect feeders, I’ve finally gotten around to crickets. The last couple of times I’ve ordered crickets, I’ve gotten an extra 500 adults for breeding only. I thought the first batch was quite prolific. There were hundreds of babies that are currently still...

All of the ones around here that I’ve heard have been found, have been done so whilst crossing the road, including Lucky. I do hope most of them stay well hidden and avoid capture. Nothing would make me happier than to have some wild chameleons living in the small wild area behind my house...

I’m so over these soil gnats! They are everywhere, including flying into my mouth! 🤢 Tonight I made the rounds with mosquito bits tea and can only say a little prayer for the isopods and springtails. 🙏 I got started on it late, so my crew was all in their pj’s and tucked into their sweet...
