A gapping dragon is a happy dragon!
Did you know your bearded dragons basking spot should be 110 degrees Fahrenheit? They need extreme heat to digest their food! Gapping is a great sign that you’re providing optimal heat!❤️

They may be scary to some. But all we see is their beauty.

Last Dragon post of the day😅 Shrimp!!

So we assume you're starting to see the pattern with our bearded dragons names😂 They're all just so deliciously cuddly that they've all received food names!
This large dude actually came from another rescue that needed his space so we stepped in!
He is feisty as heck when he's being picked up. Loves his food but hates baths. He is super chill in his enclosure but once he's out and about catching him is not an easy task haha!

Who doesn't like pancakes!
We definitely do :D
So much so that we named this swee,t sweet girl after them!
I spent 2 months speaking to the original owner of this girl trying to convince them to surrender her who they thought was a him. She came to us with some fairly advanced MBD.
Metabolic bone disease, a sadly very common mixture of disorders caused my improper nutrition. It is most commonly caused by a calcium deficiency.
With the best lighting and heat, and a gradual increase in calcium dusted insects as well as non-calcium binding vegetables, this girl has made a full recovery. She is such a sweetheart.❤️

Curry & Mango

Curry is a little girl named after her dark yellow majesty. Mango is a handsome dude named after the beautiful orange around his eyes. They came to us from a really rough situation. Both crammed in a 50 gallon tank on filthy coloured sand that had them stained, with no heat source at all.
The first thing we did was give them water and I had never at that point seen any dragons drink for as long as these two had. Water is the easiest thing to provide for living creatures, yet sadly these two hadn't had any for who knows how long.
While bearded dragons can go long periods of time surviving off of the moisture received through veggies/fruits and insects, like all living things they do require water to survive.
When we picked them up, they were black and grey, washed out. We had no clue there was so much colour to them until we got them separated, bearded dragons live alone in the wilds of Australia, hydrated and heated properly. They both have such sweet personalities. They are truly the sweetest beardies anyone could hope to fall in love with❤️

Fun interesting fact. Bearded dragons are happiest under a hot spot of 110 degrees fahrenheit or 43.4 degress celcius. The heat makes them open their mouths (gaping) which makes it look as if they're smiling!

It's been a long time since we updated. Working to get the animals we've taken in to a point where they are healthy and trusting.
That said, here comes some animal updates!!

This little lady was named Cherry shortly after we picked her up. She was purchased originally for a child that did not want to care for her. So she was surrendered to us. She was angry, defensive and very nippy. She is still nippy 😅 but not because of of anger or a lack of trust. She's just one of those extra spicy kinda ladies that likes to show her humans she's the boss😂
She is now twice the size as when we had received her. Her growth will always be stunted, but she will still live out a long dragon life with us!

This wee one. She is almost a year old... and the size of a 4 month old. She was shipped here all the way from Nova Scotia in the hopes that our vet and experience can help her grow. She may suffer from dwarfism, which is extremely rare in the wild, but more frequent when they are in**ed. Sadly frequently done in the dragon world. Her mama loved her a ton and tried her best. Wish her luck!

Huzzah!!! Super exciting!

Our daughter made this collage today of all the dragons we've given a loving home to!

Beardie lunch time🥰

06/23/2020

Guys! We could not be happier to have been able to take this picture. This little one came to us from some rough times, but with some really great insects, veggies and light and bam! This little one we named Coconut has colour! She was either pale or dark until this awesome shed. Now she's stunning and happy!! We love you Coconut!!!

06/22/2020

The bearded dragon name tags are ready 🥰

06/21/2020

Cocoons! So exciting!

The silkworm farm slowly grows.

Playing around with some beautiful snakes and amazing photo editors!

This boy is nameless as of yet.
He came in a massive tank with another male dragon twice his size. That black line on his head is where he has lost some of his beard to his tank mate. He now has his very own home and is such a sweet little one!

IMPORTANT FACT!
Bearded dragons are solitary animals!
They are more than happy to live out their whole lives never meeting another bearded dragon!
They absolutely adore human companionship. They can learn their names, they can learn their humans patterns! They are extremely territorial and outside of breeding(which is not something done lightly) they do not tolerate members of the opposite or same s*x well at all. If you ever plan to own one, do not allow yourself to be talked into cohabitation. It often ends in injury and/or death.

Clementine on week three of antibiotics. She's looking like she's going to be on them long term. She is one of the sweetest snakes I've handled ever. She is so incredibly worth it🥰

06/04/2020

I love this little guy! He is so well mannered!

05/27/2020

Little Mina out for some cuddles! She's so adorable! So is our Rohan😍🥰

Lunch time!!!♥️

05/01/2020

Just stretching my legs mama!

04/30/2020

4000 super worms should last us 🤔 hopefully two weeks!
😅 Love these little reptile babies!

04/28/2020

This baby, we picked him up today. He was once loved, but hard times happen. He's going to meet the vet, he's already had a nice does of vitamins, calcium and over 50 insects to eat. He will be getting salad shortly, and he has all the UVB his bones need to strengthen, hold him up and allow him to put on a healthier weight.
Wish him luck!

04/27/2020

Some rescues out in the sun, living their best lives😍

04/20/2020

A nice light breakfast for some bearded dragons♥️

04/16/2020

This lovely little crested gecko was picked up a little while ago. Her mama loved her very much but life changed and she needed somewhere safe to live the rest of her beautiful life!
She kept her name from her previous home, welcome(better late then never!) Mina

With all of this covid stuff, we have fallen SO far behind on posting newest rescues and our updates. We are focused on the best quality of life for all of the reptiles (and mammals😅) we have in our care! Like everyone, juggling kids/work/home life. Please bear with us as we slowly post updates and intakes! And remember. Stay home, stay safe!

This update was a request!
This is a female Mojave orange ghost ball python we took in from a loving home, with a respiratory infection. She's gone through so many treatments from what we've been told, and she has an appointment coming up to hopefully provide us(and her) with a clean bill of health!
This girl is so sweet, she enjoys coming out, she's so gentle.
♥️

Just picked this very unhappy, scared baby up.
Unsure of s*x and unable to handle until he/she settles and starts to trust us.
Wish him luck!
He needs to gain some weight and get some real hydration in him.
