As we all know December was Rockey here in House with the break in and animal loss. While we may never mentally fully recover from the animal loss there is one beam of light that happened the other day that reminded us again why we do what we do.

Our olive tree skinks (purchased as 2 makes) gave us eggs early December. With the extreme cold during the breakin we were unsure if they would make it.

Yesterday we found one egg hatched! This is our one captive bred olive tree skink that survived the cold to hatch.

We just wanted to share our good fortune because you our customers are our good fortune too.

Happy Saturday everyone!

Hermit crab in, come get it today!

Just a heart felt thanks to all of our great customer base who has supported us through this time as we recuperate and get our bearings so we can push forward. You have all been great and we are so fortunate to be able to be here and be able to see each and every one of you and help you get what you need.

I know the intent was not for this, but a very special thanks for Kael Knowles who came in today and dropped off a sizeable donation to help us out. Our intent was never to ask for or take something for nothing, it is just who we are, but it is very much appreciated and knowing we make a difference being here makes it all worthwhile. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. This does include all of you who have shown support, helped out and came in and supported by purchasing your reptile needs from us. Thank all of you for being there for us

Stay tuned for more from us as we begin our renovations and moving things around .. it WILL be worth it when it's all done.

Happy New Year to all!

Last update for the weekend, many emotions are still in play and we are tired so bear with my spelling and grammar if it is off.

Most important announcement first

We are open tomorrow 11 to 6 !! Monday Dec 23rd .. Only a few more sleeps until the big man comes with Christmas Cheer for all your young ones and a few of us older ones too.

Thanks to Allan and Jacquie Maniate for coming by today and helping us put the shop in order so we can be here for our customers. Could not have hammered it our without you.

We do have stock so come see us. Some may be limited but we are making every effort to get more in as quick as possible. Yes we have horn worms and wax worms.

We are so very fortunate for our great friends who have been there the last couple days with us helping to keep us sane. Jordan Leal, my brother and friend thank you for being there. Noah thanks for coming in once he heard and helped us in the critical first few hours of sub zero weather. And as I said above Allan and Jacquie for being there for us today. You guys are one in a million, we are grateful to be able to call you our friends.

To answer a few questions we have been asked.
1 - Animals. Yes we lost a few but not nearly as many as we thought we would and for that we are thankful, animal care is number one. None were stolen.
2 - What was stolen - Not going into great detail but money is at the root of it all
3 - He as caught on camera and is only a matter of time until he is caught
4 - State of the store - damage was caused and we are back in order for now. And yes we did incur many expenses in the last couple of days due to this but we refuse to let it keep our spirit down. We are still here and anxious to get back to normal.

So thats all folks for now. Lets fill your reptile stockings tomorrow and Tuesday!

We are still weeding through everything folks ...

anyone who were coming in to pickup today sorry nothing can go anywhere until Monday at the earliest to make sure all remaining animals are good. While some we have lost many are looking fine but animal health is priority one

Thanks to Stu Maracle (wish I knew how to tag him) for helping fix the door. We are blessed truly with such good customers.

We are down for a couple of days but not defeated. Monday is only a couple of days away.
Merry Christmas to everyone thank you for your continues support
