🎶 Go Go Godzilla 🎶 meet Godzilla, a gorgeous blue tongue skink and one of our recent additions to the THPets zoo crew 🦎 💜 Godzilla is a fan favourite here! The kids can’t get enough of this unique critter 😻
Can you guess why this lizard is called a blue tongue skink?...I’ll give you a hint, their name is pretty accurate....they have a BLUE tongue!!! 😛 💙 this lizard is known for sticking out their colourful tongue as a means to ward off potential predators, they can also muster up a pretty fierce sounding *HISS* as a warning to others. Kinda like a snake 🐍
Biologists think this critter adapted and evolved over time to mimic other regional snakes as a means to...you guessed it...scare off predators. Though these critters look very snake like they have quite powerful arms with rather sharp claws, though their arms are rather short and not suitable for extensive climbing. These lizard are known to be terrestrial, meaning you’ll most likely find them close to the ground.
Can you name another animal that has a blue tongue? I’ll give you a hint...they also have a very looooong neck! 🦒
If you’d like to learn more about the animals we take in at THPets please contact us! We’re always happy to teach our viewers about these beautiful, amazing, and often misunderstood animals. Here at THPets we love all critters: furry, feathery, and even leathery 🐾 💜

Meet Popcorn 🍿 a BLIND (IMG) albino boa, she is one of our newest additions to the TH Pets zoo crew pictured here with Reptile Rachael 💛 🐍 💜
You may be asking yourself: how does a blind snake find food to eat? Well, snakes have a very special (super powerful) smell sensor called the Jacobson’s organ, which sits right above the roof of their mouth.
Have you ever noticed how snakes flick their forked tongue? That’s how snakes gather chemical information from the air. When a snake brings their tongue back into their mouth all that information is fed to the Jacobson’s organ allowing them to “smell”
🐀 🐍
Please stay tuned to meet some of the newest surrenders to the THPets Zoo Crew. It’s been a busy few months of receiving animals in need of a new home, but that’s what we’re here for!
If you are interested in meeting and learning more about some of our unique critters please contact us for more information on how to make your next event a wild one!

Little lady learning the tricks of the trade 🐾 🐕 💜
Please read the following announcement:
As some of you may or may not have noticed we’ve been rather quiet on social media for a while. What you might also not know is much of the social media, post updates, content, and website design is done by Rachael (hi that’s me! 😉). With the welcoming of little lady, and the unexpected passing of Rachael’s father, focus has been elsewhere…mostly with caring for our family & your pets! As those of you that are regulars know we’ve still been operating 7 days a week! With a few life changes, some adjustments to THPets is finally possible.

First: GROOMING IS BACK!! ✂️ 🐩 the certified groomer (hi, me again!) will slowly start adding grooming clients back to the schedule. Bookings will be prioritized for daycare/boarding clients, and previous grooming clients that kept a regular schedule. We appreciate your patience during this process.
To book a grooming appointment please msg THPets directly on Facebook
or by TXTING 604 703 3052

Second: WE’VE EXPANDED!! 🌎 we are now offering services in Abbotsford! All the same services, only difference is the phone number
Abbotsford service: 604 703 3052
TXTING will usually result in a quicker response; phone msgs aren’t checked until the end of the day.
