Hi all, Like I said in the title, it's been a while since I stopped in. I am now because my neice has picked up her first leo and I wanted to see if this was still an active site before I steered her this way. I'm glad to see that it is, and that so many of the OG are still active here...

Hi all, I was lucky enough to find myself on vacation near Cancun the first week of the new year. I was even more lucky to come across this beautiful baby boa constrictor! I've never had the opportunity to see one in the wild in their native habitat, so I thought sharing some pics was...

Hey New Englanders, just a reminder that this coming Sunday, May 15, is the Massachusetts Reptile Expo. It would be nice to run into some of you, again or for the first time! My daughter and I will be going before noon. How about some shout outs from anyone else planning to attend? Massachusetts...

Hi all, With many changes going on my life, I've had to make some lifestyle changes, fortunately keeping my pets is now part of it. To that end, I've moved my reptiles (5 leopard geckos and two boa constrictors) from the house I shared with my now ex, and into the living room of an apartment I'm...

Sorry I haven't been around much lately, life has it's challenges which sometimes get in the way. The good news is that all my pets are doing just fine, AC, my little Afghani guy is going into shed today. Puff, Poppy, Berry and Hopper are all doing well, and so are my boa's Bo and Thai. I'm...

Careful what you say Cory. Tomorrow is the first anniversary of the first storm last year. We are by no means out of the woods yet!!! Lest we forget what winter can bring us, here is a pic of my mechanics garage from last February!

Somebody recently posted pictures of their leo shedding and asked if anyone had ever watched and photographed the process. Although I have, several times, I just got a nice series of Berry today. She is a Super Snow and has never had a shedding issue at all. Enjoy! Todd

I just love showing off pictures of how well Hopper is doing, after such a horrid looking weight loss earlier this year. So, here is another one! Happy New Year all!

Since Cory asked yesterday, here are some pics of AC doing his best Snoopy imitation on top of the doghouse! He seems to like to keep his tail hidden when he's out. It's interesting because his tail is the smallest of all my leo's, except for when Hopper was at her thinnest this past summer.

Cory, I just came from Ocean State Job Lot, they have the same humidifier I used in stock. I've attached a picture. You should have an OSJL near you, they have gone on a rampant expansion in the last couple years and have saturated Massachusetts. This one is 40 dollars, and I didn't need to...

I just thought I'd share some Hopper update info. She continues to gain weight, slowly, but I'm relieved to see how much her tail is plumping up. She just weighed in at 43 grams, which is a modest gain, but a gain nonetheless. Here are some pictures I just took of her, I know they're not very...

I have an opportunity to acquire a high end, highly rated thermostat for use in a test lab environment, and then retain for my own use upon completion of the test. I have selected the Spyder Robotics Herpstat 4 (see Spyder Robotics ) for my lab test. Although it's generally accepted that the...

My most camera shy leo, Poppy, hung around for a couple of pictures at lights out tonight. Of course, after picture time, he came out and made a leap for the floor as soon as we were seated. He always has been my most prone to escape, but he's safely back in his tank and munched a couple of...

Bo, the larger of my two boa's shed last night. While cleaning up from that process, which some of you I'm sure know what is involved, I noticed Apollo Creed intently watching from his tank. So, when I got myself cleaned up, I took him out for some play time. He hung out on the back of my neck...

she was scampering around my shoulders, but would not let me get her face on the camera!

Puff just felt like hanging around while I cleaned his tank today.

So, predictably, I ended up picking up one of these Afghanicus types. I haven't picked out a name, but wanted to share pics. This guy is about 4 months old, and seems to be male, but the jury is still out. He already likes to be held, readily comes to my hand to be picked up. I'll get a weight...

A friend/specialty pet dealer was showing me some new acquisitions today, which he described as first generation offspring from wild-caught Afghanistan parents. Their spotting was consistent with wild-type leo's, but the base coloring was significantly darker. One of these was a juvenile, and...

Several months ago, my wife fell in love with a female snow corn snake, and I decided she would have one for her birthday. Well, that one sold, but the owner of our local GOOD pet shop assured me he would get another one. Well, he came through and she came home with us last night. So, here are a...

So here's a new one on me! When doing morning checks and feeding just now, I found that Berry had pooped in her water dish! There was a regular, but bloated with water poop, and a regular sized piece of urate. Of course I removed and cleaned out the dish. Her regular poop corner also had some...
