Our very gravid Ruthveni just shed and hopefully will have some viable eggs this year. At the advice of other breeders I gave her one more year to grow and she laid infertiles on her own last year anyway, so hopefully the very grumpy male did his job

I’m working on the full ranch tour video and it’s going to be about an hour long (yes I went as quickly as I could without leaving anything out and no I didn’t open every single cage and tub.) What would you prefer, 1 hour long video with all 3 buildings and outdoor areas or a 2 part series?

I have this poll up on YouTube but I know I have some different people on Facebook that would be interested in seeing it but don’t watch all the videos

Morning basking.

We’re set and ready for Mr. Critters Reptile Expo in Gillette, WY we’re here 10-6 today!

Just a little bit of some of the new things I’ve been working on other than making snake babies

Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom….

Frosty morning with the feathered reptiles!

After relatively settling into the new enclosures, this is a good example of some of the behavior exhibited by the Russian/Amur rats. They traverse the entirety of the enclosure but spend a lot of the time perched or partially under the hides beneath the low output LED UVA/UVB bulbs with just a coil or two exposed to it at all different times of the day and at night with daytime temps up to 70 and night drops to 58 for this time of year.

We’re out here at the Show Me Reptile show in Loveland this weekend with tons of great animals and treats! Come say hi, get your sugar fix and take home a new noodle!

Little preview of tomorrow’s video. Who can guess what species of snake this is? Scout McDougall Braden you don’t count on this one.

Made a quick stop to deliver some things to Colorado Gators. Always busy taking care of animals, building the new reptile house and still running a tilapia farm made a quick little distraction to show some amazing turtles. Mata Mata Turtles are South American fresh water turtles that have a unique appearance to camouflage from their prey and while they don’t have teeth they actually suck it fish and mollusks like little smiling Hoover vacuums.

In case you were wondering this is why the more than 250 species of Pepsis wasps are called tarantula hawks. Adult female wasps will sting a tarantula paralyzing it, and dragging it back to a burrow to lay single egg on them. Funnily enough adult wasps don’t eat the spider and you would be surprised at what they do eat. They are one of the largest species of parasitic wasps and while not aggressive or territorial they have one of the most painful stings in the world with one researcher quoting “immediate, excruciating unrelenting pain that simply shuts down one’s ability to do anything but scream” This was one of dozens of wasps dragging spiders that we saw on our recent herping trip, which is early for the male breeding season so I assume they were taking advantage of the younger males as all the tarantulas were smaller.

All set and ready to have a great weekend in Loveland Co!

Have you ever seen a snake try to “take off a bra?” Well my young northern pinesnake is basically trying to do just that and it’s painful to watch

The gluten free cookies are done! Raspberry - tomato frogs and clown isopods Lemon - Banana Ball Pythons Vanilla - blue phase rhino rats!

There’s a reptile show this weekend and yeah I got the stuff. Also yes I’ll have gluten free as well and a portion of sales this weekend are going to Colorado Gators
