Swapped Leopard Geckos onto Go-4Coco substrate finally ๐ฅฐ๐ฆ spot cleaning everyone else tomorrow but im pumped to have a bigger project done! :3
I caught Shuckle our Sand Boa drinking! Shes mid shed as well ๐ฅฐ she says to stay hydrated friends!
Sand Boas are hardy little snakes and can go weeks, even months without food and water! We she first came to us she was so weak and small, after force feedings and lots of extra love she's turned into a beast!

Spinda is one of our rescued Leopard Geckos who has a neurogical disorder. He flips on occasion and needs to be tong fed to be sure he's eating. His begging for food face makes my day ๐ฅน๐ *mid shed still loves to eat* lol

Leave wildlife where you find it ๐
Through a lot of trial and error to rehab Rattata along with discussion with a few other reptile specialist we determined that he was most likely just a wild snake caught and attempted to be kept as a pet instead of a captive bred one, like the story we got from the human who tried to keep him to begin with. We tried force feeding, syringe feeding, honestly more methods than I could count to get him to thrive with us. We then decided it'd be best to return him to his proper environment to get him the best chance at thriving. Reminder that you can't just take an animal from the wild and expect it to do well in captivity. That can over stress most to where they can starve *like him* or many other factors that just ends in their passing. Please leave wildlife where you find them and wish this little guy the best of luck on his new life ๐ we'll miss you so much little one
*he is native to our area*

Keanu ๐
This is Keanu! He's 4 years now and fun fact: He's a transgender kitty! ๐ณ๏ธโ๐ he had blockage in his urithra almost two years ago and after trying every other method the only way to save him was to give him lady bits instead. I'm thankful every day my baby made it through the surgery and is still the same loving bean ๐
