Making a few things available 🙂

Pair of Phelsuma klemmeri/Neon Day Gecko just coming into maturity. Sold to me as 1.1 Love them but letting them go to thin the heard. One has a long ago healed injury, I think from the breeder I got them from catching it too hard, so hip area looks funny but doesn’t effect day to day life whatsoe...

Tree Boa doing Tree Boa thangs. Now that she’s out of QT she is a completely different animal, definitely feeling more wild!

Not the greatest of photos, but a great reminder of the sheer size Spanish Ribbed Newts can grow up to!

Zzz… It’s been a while, between moving, career changes and life, I’ve definitely neglected updating social media. Firebelly Toad having a nap in a Bromeliad for tax! 🐸

Thanks to the last Expo, I had the opportunity to grab a gorgeous unrelated pair of Standing’s Day Geckos. The male still has some growing to do but the way he eats, it will take him no time at all. Thank you to and , I had been wanting this species for a very long time.

Lookie who finally shed out 💞 Just enamoured with these little Japanese Ratsnakes (Elaphe climacophora)

Have you ever seen a hatchling snakes umbilical cord? Now you have! This little Japanese Ratsnake was the last to leave their egg, and I was lucky enough to witness the entire hatching process this long weekend, nearly uninterrupted. Something so magical about seeing them break through the egg walls and take their first breaths, and witness the umbilical cord quickly start drying out and shrink up, preparing itself to fall off not long after exiting the egg.

Japanese Rats emerging! They were too excited to even wait the full 60-70 days, hatching out on day 55.

These are Valentin Epp’s Gold Line Trinket Snakes (Coelognathus helena)

So pleasing to the eye and elegant is this snake that when the French zoologist Francois Marie Daudin described the species to science in the early 1800s, he is believed to have named it after the legendary beauty Helen of Troy. I believe this snake carries that mantle perfectly.

C. helena is found in Sri Lanka, southern India, Pakistan (Shangla), Nepal, and Bangladesh. The natural habitat of C. helena is forested areas, at altitudes from sea level to 2,500 m (8,200 ft). Interestingly, C. helena is both diurnal and nocturnal. Wild predation records will show these guys eating anything from rodents, to lizards, frogs and even other snakes.

Side note: This GORGEOUS pair is looking for someone to take over their care, ideally with breeding ideas in mind! They’re not something commonly bred in Canada and are very easy in care, as well as reproduce… Although I would not be mad if they stayed!
