Introducing our exciting new office mates, Toby and Cornelia! Longstanding members of the Malone family, these fascinating reptiles are officially taking up residency at Animalia as part of our crew and we can’t wait to share their story with you!

Toby is a very docile 3.5 year old bearded dragon who clearly loves socializing and being handled, often found hitching a ride on our shoulders while helping with medical notes and online pharmacy requests. He requires specific needs for proper lighting, humidity and heat source within his enclosure and sheds periodically in pieces and patches, which is typical of a lizard.

Toby is a good boy and eats a daily “salad” including turnip greens, collard greens, and arugula, along with bell peppers and squash. He loves blueberries and raspberries, which he only gets occasionally as a treat due to the higher sugar content. Every other day, Toby gets his protein by consuming dubia roaches and superworms!

Cornelia is a 5 year old corn snake, also known as a red rat snake. Rat snakes are very common in the wild in this area, making them a hardy species as they are adaptable to the changes in season and humidity that we experience around Middle TN. While Cornelia is a docile, captive bred snake who can be handled with low stress, it is not recommended to bring a wild snake into captivity.

She regulates her body temperature by her positioning in the habitat with a heat source making one side of her enclosure around 90 degrees. Cornelia sheds approximately once every 6-8 weeks in one solid piece, head to tail, which is a sign of good health!

Unlike Toby, she eats only 1-2 times per month with a diet of rats and mice. While rats are her preference, they are fed less frequently due to higher fat content. We’ll be sharing more updates and FAQs on our new friends, so stay tuned for the adventures of Toby and Cornelia!

Zeke is a handsome 8 year old Pitbull mix with a history of mast cell tumors, so his mom keeps a close eye between annual wellness visits. When a new lump developed, she scheduled an evaluation with Dr. Haley Fitzsimmons and the Animalia team. Locating a new mass can be scary, but we’re here to guide you every step of the way!

Did you know mast cell tumors are the most common skin tumor in dogs? Normal mast cells are part of the immune system and help protect against parasites, but they can become unstable and have the potential to form malignant tumors.

We diagnose them with a fine needle aspirate (tiny needle inserted into the mass to collect cells) and then examine those cells under a microscope. When a mast cell tumor is diagnosed, the next step is typically surgical removal with recommendation to send the mass out for histopathology, which is a vital step to ensure we can appropriately grade the mass. Low grade mast cell tumors are usually curative with surgery alone, while high grade mast cell tumors often require follow up by an oncology service for further treatment.

We encourage pet parents to regularly check for new growths or lumps and have concerning areas evaluated by your trusted veterinarian. Thankfully, Zeke’s histopathology reported a low-grade mast cell tumor and the excision was complete with clean margins, meaning no cancerous cells were found in the outer portion of the removed tissue. With regular ongoing monitoring for new lumps and bumps, Zeke is back to enjoying his lazy days of summer!
