Giant tortoises

These aldabras and sulcatas got their parasite preventives. Just like cats and dogs, parasite prevention ensures that our reptile friends grow to their full capacity by removing harmful parasites in there guts.

The aldabras wanted to eat (tried to bite my pants and shoes), but the sulcatas wanted to mate and fight (tried to mount other tortoises and charged at me).

Visited my alma mater after taking a patient to their veterinary teaching hospital.

The new dean for the college of veterinary medicine is now Dr. Maureen de Vera. Doc Maureen (or Doc Mau) is one of the advisers of the NEWT. She was also my thesis adviser and one of the most patient instructors I had back in college.

Until now it sometimes feels surreal to consider that my insturctors, people who pushed us to study hard and we usually looked up to with admiration are now our colleagues. Thank you for all the support and guidance doctors.

An Asian forest scorpion (heterometrus longinamus) glowing under ultraviolet light.

Scorpions have a hyalin layer on their exoskeletons that forms the cuticle. This react to UV light which gives them a bright blue-green glow. It has also been discovered that fossilized scorpion exoskeletons still glow under UV light. With the only exception being newly melted scorpions, due to them still having to reform the reactive layer.

A leopard gecko with an eye infection.

Leopard geckos, unlike snakes have eyes that are covered and protected by their eyelids. This leaves their eyes unprotected when the eyelids are open and allows enough space for dirt, substratea, or other irritants to enter. Prolonged irritation or trauma can lead an infection fo the eye, or the eye socket. This can eventually lead to the formation of an abscess or purulent discharge, with long term cases leading to the destruction of the eye or the socket.

Immediate identification of the problem is essential for the start of treatment and can greatly affect the outcome. Once treatment has started, it is important to monitor the animal's appetite, assisting them to eat when necessary.

Always check your pet geckos during handling, and make sure to remove any possible irritants or sources of trauma from enclosures.

Did you know? Guinea pigs are very expressive animals. They have a wide range of ways to show you how they feel. From popcorning to vocalizing, they do their best to express themselves.

They are also very smart and social animals. Able to recognize their owners and do well we companion pets.

Yesterday was a very fun day and a big change of scene. It's been a while since I talked about conservation. The journey of creating the NEWT and turning it from a group of exotic keepers to a wildlife conservation group is something I will always be proud of. I really enjoyed sharing my experiences not just as a veterinarian but as a wildlife conservationist as well. Once again thank you DLSAU CVMAS College Student Council for having me as one of your speakers.

Hopefully I was able to inspire our future veterinarians to pick up the mantle of conservation. Good luck on your journeys future docs!

Also, if anyone has any photos with me I would very much love to see them! And if you have any more questions regarding the topic or my work, my inbox is open.

Thank you so much DLSAU CVMAS College Student Council for inviting me to talk about our biodiversity during CVMAS WEEK '24. Hopefully I was able to get some students to go into wildlife and exotic pets and to do their best to conserve our biodiversity. It was nerve racking to be on the same event with two well known and prominent veterinarians.

Thank you for the warm welcome and it was great listening to Doc Ferds Recio from born to be wild. and especially to Doc Emilia Lastica for talking about her practice as a wildlife conservation veterinarian.

Also Doc Leatrize of VetMemes ! It was great seeing you again!

Also sorry I didn't take photos with the students. The anxiety was killing me and I got shy :T

There's just something about kingsnakes that hits differently.

Got a chance to deworm and handle these beautiful california and Mexican black kingsnakes. The latter tried to take a bit on my hand.

Deworming purges the animals but from any helminth (parasitic worms) and susceptible protozoal parasites that could hinder the animals growth and overall health. Regular deworming ensures the animal in healthy and able to grow and function properly and also prevents the onset of specific parasitic borne diseases.

does your lizard keep their eyes shut?

It could be irritated or worse.. Infected!
Unlike snakes, lizard eyes have no scales that protect them from irritants or damage. Instead they have eyelids. From time to time, their skin might get stuck during shed if the parameters are off, or they may get dirt or sand stuck inside them.

This irritates and causes damage to the eye and can lead to infections. And if not treated properly, could lose the eye.

This leopard gecko had some stuck shed inside which caused the eyelids to swell and produce pus. Indicating infection. Fortunately the owner immediately realized the problem and had it checked.

Sometimes, babies fail to fully develop certain parts of their bodies before they are born.

Here is an example of a congenital malformation: the skin around the naval (belly button) failed to fully close. This left an open space where the muscle inside is visible. The snake also suffered from a kinked back. You can clearly see the heart beating too!

Zoos have been one of my go to tourist activities. I love seeing animals. Especially when they look healthy and well taken care off.

These animals were calm, used to human interactions and looked pretty healthy. They have enough space to do their things and were overall looking great. Would highly recommend the place.
