The infamous homeana known for slaughtering local mushrooms is still at large!

Here is the last known photo of her committing one of her many heinous crimes (viewer discretion is advised):

Two of the female princeps decided to stop and say “hello!” today while doing their warm-up routine this morning ☀️

Back to back baby! Syri and Ginger killed it this week. Great job, girls!

*George Takei voice* Oh myyy…

It seems that Flapjack has found his moment to strike as Jemima is distracted while enjoying her morning salad.

Well… this is a wonderful surprise to say the least!

While cleaning one of my filthy chuck enclosures (one of which is pictured above) and I saw one of my LTC females, Thistle, looking thin. I searched the enclosure and found a clutch of seven eggs in bone dry sand in a hide cave. The eggs are TINY, which explains why I missed her being gravid! They were half the size of normal but appeared to be healthy.

Hopefully they do well and hatch in a few months. This will be the 7th clutch of chuck eggs received this year!

Well, my zebra skinks were very active this week… One of my females in this trio bit the other females tail off! I looked back on footage I have of the enclosure activity and saw that there was aggression between my two females I didn’t previously pick up on. It was only the last 1/4” of her tail but I was worried regardless.

I plan on separating the females if this behavior continues. The female with the bitten tail healed very well despite a little intervention on my part. It’s even regenerating very quickly too so hopefully everything goes well!

Who needs a basking rock when you have siblings? 😁

These are pictures I snapped from a few weeks ago in the early morning hours during weeks when the weather started to get nippy at night into the morning.

My painted (clown) agamas came out for some photos this week.

Next year, I’m hoping I’ll witness the breeding of my painted agamas, with the male catching up in size to the female.

Another successful run for the chuckwalla hatchling factory! Sunday, I had 7 carrot tail chuckwalla eggs hatch from an 11 egg clutch. 3 were slugs and the 1 failed a few weeks ago.

This clutch is doing well at the moment but are shy which is a departure from the typical hatchling behaviors I’ve seen. It’s possible that they’re observing the seasonal photo cycle change and are looking to brumate.

The parents, Lucifer and Rose, are pictured below. They are both pure carrot tails. I may hold this clutch back until weather warms up again for shipping in the spring.

80 total days of incubation. Incubated and hatched on coarse perlite at 89f at 85-90% humidity.

One of our subadult egernia Stokesii got unceremoniously booted out of their colony by their peers. Our guess is that this one is an extra, undesirable male in the group. He is maturing well regardless!

Uromastyx Thomasi tails serve a very unique purpose: These burrow-dwellers use these oval-shaped tails to barricade their burrow tunnels from any unwanted roommates (or predators)!

Some of our 3 year old Nigriventris are heading towards a color explosion!

Today they were showing off their vibrant yellow and orange hues, and it's not just the males who are stealing the show; Adult female Nigriventris are equally stunning, making this species of Uromastyx truly one-of-a-kind. A photo of one of our adult females is below. Enjoy!

Six more redbacks have hatched, showcasing remarkable strength. They were a handful to hold due to their crazy levels of feistiness!

The parents, Violet and Diablo, are pictured below. The male is my oldest, having kept him since 2015 (and he was fully grown by then). He’s estimated to be around 12-13 years old. Let's hope he reaches a ripe old age of 20!

103 total days of incubation. Hatched on coarse perlite and 89f at 85-90% humidity.

Check out three of my 16mo Pancake tortoise hatchlings having a soak! They're rocking that 'young adult' vibe! Makes me so proud. 🥹

Two of our 2.5 month old Chinese box turtle hatchlings basking today. Can you tell which of the two is the shy one? 🙈

This enchanting clutch of six popped out a little over two weeks ago. 1/7 hatchlings were stillborn but we like to appreciate the gift of six lives regardless of the natural hiccup.

They’re doing amazing at the moment scarfing down greens every chance they get. They’re growing at a crazy rate too! The young parents, Orion and Nebula, are pictured below.

80 total days of incubation. Laid on 6/8/24 and hatched on 8/27/24. Incubated at 89f on coarse perlite with 90% humidity.

The season of arid lizards is out, and the season of arid tortoises is in! The adult pancake tortoises are making the most of this autumn day, indulging in some drinks, nesting, and a little bit of hanky-panky 😉. #bluedandelionreptiles #pancake #pancaketortoises #malacochersus #malacochersustornieri #tornieri #Tortoise #turtles #reptiles

Came home and noticed one of the pancake tortoise females, Syri, laying a gorgeous, healthy egg for us! I managed to capture this beautiful moment on video as well. Enjoy! #bluedandelionreptiles #pancake #pancaketortoises #malacochersus #malacochersustornieri #tornieri #Tortoise #turtles #reptiles

From one breeding project to another: 👋🏼

Wow, ungrateful much?!

Supervised Combat

Every few weeks during breeding season, I like to temporarily introduce male pancakes to each others enclosures to partake in some supervised combat. Although it may seem cruel in captivity, this species experiences combat and often fight for dominance in nature. Combat and intimidation is a normal behavior for them in their natural habitat and mimicking natural behaviors as often as possible does well for the animal in my opinion. After each supervised combat session, the males seem to experience heightened testosterone and will breed with every female they encounter in the enclosure that week. The combat also seems to increase sperm productivity and every egg produced hatches in a 4-5 months. Disclaimer: The male tortoises do not fight until blood is drawn; No injuries were sustainined during this video. #bluedandelionreptiles #pancaketortoise #malacochersustornieri #tortoise #reptiles
