We are partnering up with a local entrepreneur mushroom expert. We will be carrying his products whenever we attend expos. You could also just go to his page and contact him directly. The prices are the same, but if you go through me, I get a small cut 🤑😉😎
God bless!

Baby millipedes here at the farm! American Giant, African Giant and Scarlet millipedes.
Praise God! We are so very thankful for our blessings. Let's pray that those blessings extend to our rubber boa projects,too. 😁😎

The California red sided garters are getting ready for love. My large adult female is out of brumation and eating well. Her husband is eager to join her after I get a few more meals in him. My other breeder females will be ready for their turn in late December. Lord willing, we'll have several beautiful specimens available for purchase this coming summer.

Also,
We finally are getting finch eggs regularly. The females needed more calcium. We started crushing up our chicken egg shells and offering them to the finches. They eat what they need and began to lay eggs within two days. I prayed for wisdom from God because I was experiencing loss after loss here in the snake room. I was patient and kept an open heart/mind...... the epiphany regarding the calcium hit me last week. Thanks to my heavenly Father for never letting me down!

If any of you have young egg eating snakes, hit me up and we'll try to have finch eggs available for shipment once a month or so.

Setting the record straight about thiaminase, the enzyme that causes vitamin deficiencies in fish-eating snakes.

This is sad

Invasive pythons were prohibited in 2021 by the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission but boa constrictors were not on the prohibited list.

Babies are being born at the farm today!

The last salamander video tonight..I swear. 😁
Thank you for tolerating my dorkiness. 😉

Another spotted salamander video. Not much to look at, but it's always cool for me.

I'm not much of a narrator. Lol
I just get excited every year on this day when the spotted salamanders travel to my pond to breed.
