Ghost is still doing good. We wish he would eat better and still waiting on the test results, but our hopes are up and his shedding/skin is a lot better now. We are doing daily soaks and Neosporin and now Silver Sulfadiazine after each soak. 🤞🏼🙏🏼💚

This weekend was our 3 year anniversary of starting Scales and Tails. We rescued a leopard gecko, a crested gecko, and a bearded dragon in 2021. That along with my wife Meg working in a vet location that saw exotics so we knew there was a need so in January 10, 2022 we got our first 2 bearded dragon surrenders and the rest is history. We have 11 ambassadors, have gotten over 60 surrenders, adopted out 40 reptiles, have had to put a couple down, and started a foster program since we started. We became a 501c3 Nonprofit status this year. Have done several events around town, a couple reptile expos, and a couple birthday parties. We can’t wait to continue working with the community and to show y’all what we have planned in 2025!!💚🐍🦎

Ghost being checked out at LSU Vet School by the Zoo Med department. We gave him a soak and gently removed the shed, took some blood for some test from his jugular, and checked his heart rate. 💚🦎💚

01/11/2025

We brought Chirozo back for a checkup and our two new leopard gecko surrenders Snorlax and Ghost into LSU Vet School’s Zoo Med team for their first visit. Ran some blood on Snorlax to make sure nothing is wrong because he’s a little obese, and Ghost to make sure he’s healthy. We are worried Ghost has a neurological issues because he holds his head to the side a lot and his balance isn’t great. Fingers crossed and thanks to LSU once again. 💜💛🦎🦎🦎

Ghost is doing a little better. We got all the shed off it’s feet. We are still soaking twice a day along with Neosporin. They’re pretty raw but he/she might be able to keep all its toes. Its reactions are a little slow so I’m a little worried about that. We will bring Ghost into LSU as soon as we can. Fingers crossed. 🤞🏼💚🦎

I did my first realistic background on a 12x12x18 tank using spray foam, silicone, and some sticks and covered it with coconut fiber and sphagnum moss while the foam was still wet. I see some areas of improvement but I’m satisfied with my first attempt. This will be our tank we use at shows for Merlin or Draco. 💚🦎🐍

Wait. For. It..🤣🦎

Video of me and Ares.💚🐍

Oreo! He loves eating chicken sticks! He lost some weight when we brought him to LSU last month, but he’s gaining it back now that we know what he likes to eat. 💚🦎

Oreo Update: So Oreo came to us mid August. He had a terrible eye infection where he couldn’t even open them. He was very dehydrated, hadn’t eaten in two months, and had several parasites including salmonella, along with an impaction. We did eye drops 4 times a day along with daily soaks and antibiotics and in a couple weeks he passed the impaction and was eating baby food. Early October he started to eat actual food and Repashy and his eye infection was gone and was salmonella free. Well we tested a fecal today and he’s 100% parasite free! He’s been eating regular food. In the video he’s eating chicken sticks. He loves bananas, bell peppers, and Dubia Roaches. He can finally go into the reptile room and out of the quarantine room!! We can’t wait to bring him to his first show and tell!! We are so excited!!💚🦎💚

Stevie got a new enclosure that fits him!! We still have some accessories to add along with a bigger hide that our friend Thomas made for us. It’s a 8x2x2!! Stevie can stretch out now!💚🐍💚

Brooke went to sit at the back of the class when we pulled out the snakes for the presentation. We are so proud of her for overcoming her fears and holding an 8 foot Burmese Python by the end of our visit. 💚🐍

Oreo Update: He’s eating. He loves baby food and blueberries as a treat. He’s earned it! He has his eyes open all the time now. He doesn’t have one of the several parasites anymore. We will continue to monitor that. He still doesn’t have all his strength back but he’s moving around. We do daily soaks and eye drops and he went and got some sun yesterday outside. This little guy was on death’s doorstep when we got him so we are glad he’s doing so well. Again thanks to the LSU Zoo Med team for all their help and support!! Stay tuned for more updates. 💚🦎

Oreo

Oreo Update: He’s back with us after spending the week at LSU. He still has a ways to go. He still has parasites and salmonella so we are being very cautious and wearing gloves and disinfecting everything. That being said, he’s doing so much better!! He’s eating, he’s standing up and walking, and his eye infection has vastly improved! The LSU Zoo Med Team and their students did an INCREDIBLE job helping this guy begin recovery. We can't stress enough how much we appreciate them, we really don't think this guy would have made it without their care. We love this guy so much and are pumped to see some improvements. Also this is just a transport tank and not his actual tank. Keep watching for more updates. 💚🙏🏼🦎

Stevie taking a night swim!💚🐍🌊

Video of Merlin. Their grips are super strong. Did you know: When moving along branches they sway from side to side to look like a leaf.💚🦎🍃🍂
