    My New Babies: Ptychozoon kuhli

    The 2.1 baby "Flyers" that I have been waiting for all Summer arrived yesterday. So before I even put them in their vivs, I took some photos of them while they were still captive in their deli cups, which was a good idea, as they took off like a shot as each one was introduced to its own space...

    My new baby Leachie :-).

    I've had this little one on deposit for about a month, and finally picked it up today. S/he is a couple of months old (I'm going to ask about birth date, which I forgot to do, today), and the people who bred them (my favorite reptile store owners) were holding on to the clutch until they were...

    Dubia Roach molted and grew wings....

    I take this to mean it's now an adult. And it grosses me out. "Bigly :roll:. What the heck am I supposed to do with it, now? I have a half dozen immature dubias left (for my Bearded Dragon, actually), and although they are unpleasant to me, they don't immediately make me freak out, like the...

    New Puppy!

    One last pic of my Golden Child, Teddy, before I head for bed. This was taken by my husband this morning as we watched the Eclipse. Teddy is sitting in my lap because...well, because he's a Mama's boy :-). He's beautiful now. He's going to be a stunning adult, I think!

    New Puppy!

    I thought it might be time to share a few more pix of my "Golden Child" (his color is turning the gorgeous lighter gold color of a Golden Retriever, hence the nickname), so here are some. I hope people enjoy them. Isn't he beautiful? :D

    Happy World Lizard Day -- 2017!

    I celebrated by adding a new member to our family: A "classic" phase adult male Bearded Dragon from a rescue in Albany. $35 worth of lizard, and $150 worth of supplies :roll:. As they say, there's no such thing as a "free" pet :biggrin:. I named him Buddy, 'cause he's my li'l buddy. Much...

    Totality! Eclipse from our front yard, 2017.

    We live in the path of the Totality for today's eclipse, and it was amazing--and I mean AMAZING--to see the Totality with its corona. The world dark and suddenly 10 degrees cooler, and the dogs silent--for once :roll:. Like the one I saw in 1979, it's something I'll never forget. That big...

    First Baby Hatched this Evening--P.l.laticauda. No one told me they're THIS tiny

    WOOT! Baby number 2 just hatched about 5 minutes ago! He's actually larger than baby number one, although #1 is healthy-looking and active, so I assume he's doing all right. It makes me wonder, though, if Baby #1 hatched early at 28 days, or this guy hatched late (a month later), accounting...

    First Baby Hatched this Evening--P.l.laticauda. No one told me they're THIS tiny

    This evening, the first of the original 3 baby Gold Dust Day Geckos hatched, and man, is he ADORABLE! Being an extremely nervous baby gecko "Mama", I have a couple of questions, mostly because he's just so dang little! 1) When do I give him his first meal? 2) When should I transfer him to his...

    Our First Eggs

    So, I woke up this morning to find 2 pairs of shiny white eggs in the P. l. laticauda habitat that weren't there when I went to bed (one beside a sanseveria (sp?) and one right in the very front of the viv, in a bed of live moss). With 3 females and 1 male in there, I'm guessing that 2 of the...

    Brazilian Rainbow Boa

    Well, we'll see if this works, using a different way to put up a photo. This is Rio on the day he came home. He's a nice boy--for a young BRB :-). And as pretty as can be, imho.

    This may or may not be a stupid question, but....

    I currently have coco fiber substrate (over mesh and hydroballs) in my vivs, with plants in pots of organic soil, covered with sphagnum moss to keep the geckos out of the plant soil. However, I'd kind of like to be able to add plants directly to the substrate, and I'm wondering if 100% organic...

    Ummm.... why don't I have permission to look at my own photos?

    When I try, I get this: "You do not have permission to view the images in this category." Or, sometimes, it tells me that I'm not a registered user, and therefore there are not photos for me to see. As you can see, I AM a registered user, and I hadn't let the tab just sit open for hours, so...

    Male with Females, or Vice Versa?

    I have 3 lady geckos--Phelsuma laticauda laticauda. This weekend, I am picking up a future husband for one or all of them. After the 90 day quarantine period is up, how does one introduce them? If possible, I'd like him to share their viv with them as a group, if they'd get along together...

    Brazilian Rainbow Boa

    I love these snakes. I've kept them before, and have really missed having them around. I like their beauty and their personalities (I've never been bitten by one--hatchling or adult--*knocks wood*). :-) So, yesterday, while we were visiting one of my favorite pet stores in Portland, of course...

    Treated Plants for Vivarium....

    Yesterday, my husband and I were checking out a reptile store in the Willamette Valley, looking for certain supplies for my 3 female P. laticauda, when a 1.1 pair of Madagascar Giant Day Geckos caught my eye, and long story short, we brought the pair home. The store runs a reptile rescue, and...

    New Puppy!

    This said it's the "off topic" area, so I hope it's ok to put this here. 2 weeks ago, I got a puppy. He's half Maltese and half Pomeranian. He's 10 weeks old tomorrow (Saturday, April 29th, 2017). I took this photo of him last week. Isn't he a cutie? I named him "Teddy". I'm a dog person...

    If you could only choose just one, what would you choose?

    So, I got my 3 lady P. laticauda yesterday. They came with an Exo Terra viv size 18"x18"24", which included food (Pangea Fruit Mix™ With Insects Complete Gecko Diet), a thriving orchid, a feeder, some "mud" on the bottom, about 2" thick, and the Exo Terra hood w/2 outdated bulbs needing...
