Two great looking baby northerns, these were produced by and I’m thrilled to have them here.

One on the left is Sunrise and Swedish lines plus het. Ivory, the baby on the right is a combo of Sunrise and Red lines. Should be fun to add them into the stuff I’m working on here and of course the ivory project too. Eating well & pretty chill little skinks.

Hershey Reptile Expo tomorrow - 11/17!
3425 Old Hershey Rd, Elizabethtown, PA 17022-9050

Bringing a fine assortment of skinks, anoles, geckos, and some uncommon colubrids including Boiga cyanea, false water cobra, and rhino rat snakes - all 2024 babies. A lot of holdbacks in the mix and will be running some deals on a few critters to hopefully knock down some pretty intense vet bills we had this past week.
Will also have some terrarium plants including a few rare sp., & roaches (hissers, deaths heads, shadows). Be sure to stop by and chat herps. 😎

Eating great, settling in, and I feel like the female is either gravid or cycling 🤔🤨 time will tell..
Enjoying keeping these guys so far, they have been out and active basically every time I’ve walked past the enclosure, seems like a really fun display species!

Happy Halloween! 🟠⚫️
Two really awesome blue tongue skink growouts/holdbacks here. Dark line was produced by and the high orange was produced here in-house last season, from Mango. Looking forward to next year!

All of the adults are now in brumation, and there are going to be some very cool pairings in the works 2025.

A little update on one of my favorite holdbacks. Lineage has hypo sunset Turner white, heavily leaning towards TW. However, idk where that super dark banding came from which keeps getting more bold with every shed! Really fun one to watch and I will be attempting to repeat the same pairing again this coming season, as I’m really happy with how the whole litter turned out pattern, structure, & temperament wise.

Amel Pictus gecko but this one’s a bit of an oddball, way darker eyes than usual for what’s technically an albino. This one is a holdback!

The baby reticulated water skinks that hatched earlier this year are doing awesome! Would love to repeat this success next season. Absolutely love the pattern on the babies and they are decently tolerant of me pestering them on occasion 😆

These are not leaving so please don’t ask! However I am on the hunt for additional ones to add genetic diversity to the project.

An unexpected last minute update - We are vending NARBC TINLEY! This is a one-time occasion and will not be a consistent thing (maybe someday!) so if any long distance buddies want to stop by and chat herps - Tables 95-96. Will be with a few friends in the same space. Bringing quite a bundle of pictus geckos including some very nice holdbacks, amel, anery, bold stripes etc, so if you’ve been wanting to add some, now is the time! Also bringing blue tongue skinks, some rare geckos and handful of gargs/cresties. Maybe a few other cool little surprises. Cannot wait! This show is always something we look forward to attending just for fun so it is going to be awesome.

A couple of anery pictus geckos. Produced a pretty good amount of both visuals and hets this season! And selecting for the lightest ones with stripes has definitely yielded some nice results.

One of 3 visual ivory blue tongues I’ve got here. Love how this one has a little bit of speckled coloration they’ve held onto.

Very small chance we might produce a couple next year since a few of them (not this one though!) and a het are just about up to size. 🤞Almost time for everyone to head down for brumation, season went by crazy fast.

2 holdback siblings from Mochi’s litter (Red x White pairing). Got a very cool variety of babies from oranges, reds, lots of white speckling, and a couple that started red but are actually getting pretty faded light colors as they grow (second one in this photo set is an example of that!). Will definitely try to repeat this pair next season.

Throwback to one of my favorite, and most wholesome photos …zebra skink family featuring their litter of 8 brand new babies. Keeping communal live bearing reptiles is definitely an experience.
