Ctenosaura Pectinata pied has moved into his new enclosure. This dude is pretty cool! He has a very bad attitude but I like him nonetheless! Hopefully he will enjoy the large enclosure.

Well, after all that work building it, it was time to have fun setting it up. Got this beast done tonight! This will be for my Ctenosaura Pectinata Pied male and hopefully two females down the line when I can get some babies and grow them up!
I still feel like I’m missing a few branches but I don’t want to crowd the ground too much either! What are your thoughts??

#2 finished. 4 more to go. I changed the design on these guys to have a shelf that doesn’t go all the way. This gives me more space height wise to have natural “tree’s” or more vertical branches.
Need to build 4 more like this.

They say one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Well, not « trash » per say in this case but « scraps ». 1700g ball python that is now a meal for a very large Ptyas Carinata.

La naïveté des gens me fait capoter des fois. Prenez le temps d’observer et d’analyser les choses avant de croire tout ce que vous vous faites dire. Il y a beaucoup de gens qui vont jouer la carte de « pitié » pour abuser de votre confiance et profiter de votre argent durement gagner. Ne soyez pas aveugle, faites attention.

This is why no matter how often I get fed up and say « F**ck it, I’m getting a PVC enclosure custom made » I always end up just building it myself. Throughout the years I’ve purchased all the necessary tools ( table saw, miter saw, drills, staplers, hole saws, etc) to make this easy on myself. This is a 60 inch wide by 30 inch deep and 72 inch high enclosure. I put a 13 inch wide shelf in there and I’ll be putting a 12x18 dark tile for basking on top of it. This whole enclosure took met 2 hours 30 minutes to build.
The reason why I always think I should by a PVC enclosure is because I absolutely hate painting these guys. I hate painting them so much that paying a premium for PVC sounds good to me lol times have changed! I bought myself a paint gun and a paint booth… painting these will be a breeze and the paint booth will be put to good use for other projects!
Can wait for the booth to be delivered so I can give it a go.

2024 was my last year producing blue tongue skinks and man did I hit it out of the park for a final year. The two pairings I was hoping for the most worked out. First pairing was two of my nicest pure Swedish lines. Second pairing was a sunrise I got from Ron Couto that didn’t breed for 2 years bred to a female pure Swedish line.
The below picture is one of the babies from the pure Swedish line pairing. This baby has only gone through two sheds and he is on FIRE!! Anyone that breeds skinks knows it takes 3-4 sheds before really seeing the true colour of a baby! This whole animal is orange, even his face is orange! I know a customer that will be really happy.
The other babies are going through shed so I’ll snap some pics when they are done but the sunrise pairing is absolutely stunning as well.
Definitely the best babies I’ve ever produced and I’m happy to have done it on my way out of blue tongue skink breeding!

Can’t wait to see if I’ll be able to produce some babies next season.

Finally “finished” this project.
All that’s left is to paint the exterior but that can be done whenever.
This enclosure is 60 inches wide by 30 inches deep and 72 inches high!
I’ve got 14 inches of dirt in there.
This will be for a pair of Ctenosaura that I can’t wait to show off.
I’ve got 3 more of these enclosures to build, just wanted to test this one first.

Ive got three 12 level V35 PVC racks for sale. These racks are about 1 year old. These racks use flexwatt for Belly heat. Heat tape is inlet into the shelf so it doesn’t rub against the tubs. Bought them from Devon Bray.
Some tubs have extra vent holes in them.
Barely used as they were racks that I used for animals that didn’t sell right away and needed to be moved to bigger tubs then my baby racks.
The V35 tub is 20x15x5.
I can deliver around Montreal for a fee.

I wonder if we could develop an app for reptile breeders in this thing. Pop up clean up schedule, pairings. Im sure we could find a use for it lol

Someone is starting to look like she is packing babies down there. She is usually pretty slender and is spending all her time on the heat! This years pairings were awesome, can’t wait to see babies!

Big meal for Mr Rubidus tonight! Had an extra turkey neck that I had thawed out for some Ptyas, decided to see if he was hungry.
Hopefully with the 3 rats he ate earlier he will be full enough that he won’t try to kill his GF tomorrow as he usually does when I attempt to pair them for the last time this season.

I got this guy a few weeks ago and have been working hard to get him to trust me. His enclosure is in my office to make sure he see’s me often and gets used to my presence. I try to take him out every day to show him that he can trust me. He huffs and puffs but doesn’t bite. Lately he has been super chill and letting me pick him right up without making a fuss. Well, the past 2-3 days every time I’d sit at my office I would hear him get agitated and start scratching at the glass. Low and behold today I opened the glass, he climbed right up in me and just decided to chill! I’ve been sitting at my computer working away for the past hour or so with him just sitting there. He leans into my finger and closes his eyes when I scratch him behind the head to I’d say he is pretty content! It’d always rewarding to see how comfortable they can get around us when we put in the work. This is no dog by all means and I don’t expect it to act like one either but he was clearly showing his desire to explore outside his enclosure.

Blue Tongue Skink season is continuing to surprise me. This is a male that wanted nothing to do with breeding last season, thought it would be the same this year but all of a sudden he is interested. This is a huge female and it took a lot of work but he did it. Any babies resulting from this pairing would be awesome!

Here I was thinking my blue tongue skink breeding season was over…think again! Two new locks today and they are awesome locks! First is a male sunrise from Ron Couto I’ve been trying to breed for 3 years now. Never wanted to breed. He finally got it this year!! Bred him to a pure Swedish line! Second is an awesome looking Swedish male that hadn’t showed any interest yet! Bred to a pure Swedish female! If these work out, there will be some amazing babies coming!!

Well, blue tongue skink breeding season is officially off to a start. Did it a bit different this year and didn’t Brumate my adults. Noticed some skinks pacing this weekend and decided to give it a shot today during lunch! Two out of 9 females have had their first lock! First pairing is my male « hypo calico » with a pure Swedish line female. Second pairing is a pure Swedish line male to a pure Swedish female. 🤞

Well santa knew what I really wanted this year haha been wanting a Midwest tongs heavy duty hook for a while now! When you’ve got a 9-10 foot girthy cribo that wants to kill you it’s preferable to have more then a 36 inch flimsy hook to help you manage it. This thing is massive! 50 inches long, two grips on it, can’t wait to try it!

Well after many hours, sore knees and a sore back the floor in the large colubrid room is done!! Tomorrow I’ll be putting the trim down to close up the walls so I can start moving snakes in! I love how this floor looks. This 18x14 will be put to good use.

When they love the Repti-Bites so much they can’t control themselves! Almost got tagged today feeding this Ptyas Carinata her frog sausage. This was her 4th sausage. Got to love these snakes, keep you alert! As you can hear, she surprised me haha I was looking into the camera screen instead of watching the snake… Repti-Bites

Took some time during my lunch break to feed my Eugongylus Mentovarius. The male is pretty skittish, doesn’t eat with the tongues yet but the female is getting better. This is a success for me today, while she backed out when she realized she was on my hand I still managed to get her take come onto my hand. She ate the food just after getting back in the enclosure. These guys are cool, there’s a reason they are in my living room.

Love is in the air! Hopefully I can get a lock out of these two Rubidus!!

I haven’t posted much about these guys since putting them both in their large enclosure. The male was showing a lot of interest towards the female when I first put them together. Now as you can see in the video she is looking swollen towards the rear. Fingers crossed this means eggs down the line! Eugongylus Mentovarius! You don’t see many of these around, even less CBB.

I’m very happy about this. When I first got them they were very skittish, burrowed down and didn’t come out for months. Now that brumation is over I have been trying to get near them with little success. Well, Today they are right out of my hands! Such amazing little lizards!
