Just a heads up Corallus batesii
- DO NOT HAVE ANY. Just a heads up as we occasionally have people ask about them.

A few (around 7ish) wild (sounds like all males)
Amazon basin emerald tree boas Corallus batesii have recently came into the U.S.

"wholesale" they're 8-10k so most likely higher on the public market.
If you're looking , keep an eye out 👍

again just a heads up , we do NOT have any.

02/01/2025

Have had some people ask about ventilation in the growout tents.
(easy to show before they go in)

Sure there is multiple ways...
Here's what we use.

4" pvc soffit vents with pvc screens.
They fit/tie right in 👍

On a few others (to try to contain fruit flies)
We pulled out the pvc screen ..
Cut screen type metal filter material to fit , put the pvc screen back to hold it all and keep animals off of the metal.

NO idea how the vents or even tents hold up on snakes. Have only been using ours for lizards and frogs.

Also have NOT tried on desert or low humidity reptiles.

02/01/2025

Started setting up some horizontal grow tents
Plan on using for frogs and small lizards.

02/01/2025

Plants just might not be for me 🫣
Grabbed a few more plant lights to see if they help.

Have a FEW doing "ok" but most are definitely not thriving.

Crazy reptiles and fish are soooo much easier then plants.

Airplants do fine , most bromeliads do ok for me beyond that , na . Ferns, grasses , trees 🤐 Hopefully that changes and some of the new setups fill out as the animals in them mature.

01/31/2025

few growouts

01/30/2025

Bromeliads (plants) expected around Feb 6th.

Goudaea ospinae 3-4" $10
Neoregelia agnes 3-4" $10

Vriesea racinae 4-5" $10 6 for $50
Vriesea sucrei variegata 10-12" $25
Vriesea gigantea "nova" 5-6" $15
Vriesea splenriet 15-20" $35
(^ Few, whatever fits in the boxes)

Billbergia (cross) 'Darth Vader" small/pups $25 VERY FEW
(have requests for them but they didn't do well for us in the past , only ever get very few)

Most arrive bare root, no pot, no dirt.
No pesticides , no chemicals, no waxes.

^ ALL PLANTS 🪴
🪴 only in this post so no FB rules are violated with prices 🫡🫡

"Should" also get air plants in , the following week or 2 .. when weather is favorable on the shippers end.

01/25/2025

caiman expected.

early Feb
Paleosuchus trigonatus - smooth front caimen
12-16" range , farm bred

mid march
Paleosuchus trigonatus - smooth front caimen baby- small

Paleosuchus palpebrosus - dwarf caiman
baby- small

We never get large numbers of caiman.
- don't have the space
- there is no great quality discount
- we get NO live arrival guarantee
- they sell oddly even wholesale they're either in high demand or no demand.

Recommended only for experienced keepers with room and housing available.

01/25/2025

some old pics...
sorry old Pic quality isn't the greatest.
(these were camcorder to webtv I think around 97)
these 2 "species" have both been shipped to us in recent years as the same.

not sure I'm not a fan of new classifications or the way they're exported 🤔 or both.

had these in the gallery but wanted them easier to grab for some discussions.

01/21/2025

Looking like no shipments this week, weather just sucks 🤫

01/20/2025

sailfin lizards - expected mid - Feb 👍

small farmed for sure.

possibly more adults.

Have a good amount of people asking so , here's some advance notice. 👍

no exact #'s yet.
supplier 1 - told " we need some for breeding at least.

supplier 2 - told will take what they have.
(they do not sell adults)!

01/19/2025

Anyone interested in caiman lizards ..
stay tuned
or let us know ..

Considering getting another group in 👍

Will check with wholesale customers via email tonight .

Considering getting a few more for here, so we don't end up spending a few years growing out 2 of the same s*x .

They come to us as farmed babies.
They will be uns*xed.

See our other posts if you're wondering about feeding them.

Won't happen for at least a week - Forcast calls for a cold blast starting tomorrow.

Pic- one we held back guarding his baby clams 😜

01/17/2025

Had to drop by wholefoods and grab the lizards some extra food before the weather changes again.
H***y fruit
baby bananas
dinosaur kale
mandarin oranges
Stuff local stores don't have.

01/17/2025

weather dependant... trying to schedule and reschedule some things .

possibility of another snow storm in the south in the next week - that will play a role in everything.

01/13/2025

lots of messages about problems or past problems with caiman lizards (not from us).

We do NOT use or recommend canned cat food. I don't know if that's the problem but it's a common thing mentioned .

(tried cat food on other things years ago , seemed to make smell 100 times worse at bathroom time)

yes - ours are active (half the day)
when not active they sleep under moss.
yes - ours are growing

we keep them about 84 degrees with high humidity (75-85%)
water bowl is big enough for them to get in but not huge (yet)
we use under tank heat (helps keep humidity up)
they have Zoomed 10.0 uvb half the day.
basking spot half the day (don't see them basking much)

ours eat
a small # of insects
(they ignore them most of the time)
canned oysters
raw shrimp
raw fish fillets
chopped fresh oysters
canned crab meat
crab leg pieces
canned snails
a FEW pieces of banana, strawberry , mango - few days a week.
some live snails
twice a week they get calcium powder on their food.
randomly (I forget) they get mineral all on their food.

doubt our feeding is "perfect" but it's seemed to work for a few years.

subject to change - if we think something needs adjusted, added or removed it is.

none left for sale - right now
expect more shortly.

01/13/2025

watching the weather ...
trying to reschedule a few shipments 👍

first day I could get out so haven't rushed.

People ask occasionally did we decide not to breed birds? No. We do have mostly young birds , figuring out what to do. Expecting eggs from this pair 👍 Should be normal and pearl cockateils .....

Have had a few people message , saying their caiman lizards (not from us) are lethargic, rarely move and don't eat.. Personally we avoid catfood. Not sure if that's the issue but it seems to be a common factor mentioned. We feed... Snails canned and live. Oysters Raw shrimp Eggs Few random other things.

Tried to make these Facebook polls work for a week , no such luck. Building a general "want list" , for fall shows/expos. Like if people are looking for: Larger lizard types - beardeds,monitors etc Inverts Small lizard types , fire skinks, geckos, etc. Turtles Etc.. Looking - let us know Won't be bringing - Crested geckos - enough breeders Most snakes - shows are getting snake heavy. Many dry goods - not the market we thought there was.

Sometimes people can't seem to understand why I can message but not talk on the phone at work.... noise is 99% why 😂 not a quiet place . 2 of 5 machines running in this clip

Twistneck turtles - breeding now 👍 At least 2 pr breeding

Mata Mata turtles

Moved up from guppies to rosey reds. 🖒 Still strike fast 🖒 Fun to watch.

Weber's Sailfin, quick clip #2

Relaxing .. while cages are being cleaned. Not viscous 😉

Weber's Sailfin Lizards

Get more questions about sailfins lately then everything else combined ... Just don't think there is tons of info out there. So .. Yes they can be flighty compared to many other lizards. No they're not "just mean". Just moved ours to soak while their cage gets cleaned.
