"LaLa" Super Spy? Not likely! Rio Grande Sliders (Trachemys elegans) may be many things but stealthy, they are NOT! And no worries... he's perfectly capable of righting himself.

"Slim Jane" our Ornate Plated/Girdled Lizard (Zonosaurus ornatus) graduated outta QT!! Pretty safe ta say she approves of the bigger space and more extensive tunnel system... she'll upgrade again once she's fully plumped back up.

Wouldn'tve guessed these two would hit it off... 🤷♀️
"LaLa" the Rio Grande Slider (Trachemys elegans) is a looong-term special needs/rehab that doesn't get along with ANY of the other 8 aquatic turtles in residence. While "Lemon" the Russian Tortoise (Testudo horsfieldii) came ta us only recently and is the less dominant of 2 males. ALWAYS carefully supervised, they've been like 2 peas in a pod since being introduced and seen ta genuinely enjoy each other's company.

Summertime, SUMMERTIME!! Whether it be cool moths, day lilys or visiting family... we're down!
Hubby got the backyard pond ready for Goldfish and Koi ta go outside quite awhile ago now... just a lil behind posting, lol. This year our American Bullfrogs (Lithobates catesbeianus), "Winkin, Blinkin and Nod" finally got the all clear (their looong-term intensive rehab is a story for another time) ta go outside too... aaand they're LOVING IT!!

Aaand we've got Quail again!! Went with Coturnix (Coturnix coturnix) this time and couldn't be any happier... extremely tolerant of noise, kiddos and other pets; very intelligent (more like a parrot than a pigeon) and handleable; SUPER curious and inquisitive; easily tamed and trained. TY Hubby (aka ) for their freaking AWESOME Quail palace/playground and soon ta be vermi-composing setup!! Moved our 1st trio in and then got another 3 (celadon) hens... strongly suspect our roo "Salut" (for his enthusiastic morning call) couldn't be any happier either! 🤭

Ever feel like you're being watched? Silly ole dog! "GG" is a Springer x Dane mix, in case ya wondered.
Yay Spring?? Late March (just a lil bit behind, lol) snowstorm left behind more snow and ice than all the flurries we had over this past actual Winter. 🙃❄️
Independent homeschool project... convert an old reptile enclosure into a litter box "closet". Successful in so many ways!!
Go TK!! Bigger bedrooms might've been the motivation but homeschool shop class has em learning all kinda valuable skills. They've (with Hubby supervising) done all the work knocking down the old wall and building a pretty respectable new one.
We've got Vietnamese Mossy Frog (Theloderma corticale) tadpoles!! Decided ta sn**ch their eggs this time (nothings came of em last season), started seeing movement, then tails and now 4 lil tads... and they're growing FAST! Last pic is one of their parents. 🥰

Only* time these 3 ever want anything ta do with "Mean Mommy" (aka Trimmer of Claws, Flea Med Applier and ((the HORROR)) Bath Giver) is at mealtime... aaand even after bestowing the food, it's still sideye. 🙄 "Madeline", "Dojo" and "Hello" (Felis catus)... by far the most demanding and least appreciative critters in our lil menagerie.
* ever so slight exaggeration... ❤️ em anyways!
If'n ya happen ta be in the area, stop on by... will have a table there. 😉
No snek of my own (yet)... sure enjoy hanging out with friend's in the meanwhile tho! "Lucy" the Ball Python (Python regius) is just lovely. 🥰

Backyard pond's had quite a lot of different ice formations this winter (fishes are safe indoors)... flat and thin enough ta lift in sheets, thick and mounded like waves, cloudy, opaque and completely clear. Lotta same day freeze-and-thaw cycles recently made the most interesting iteration so far tho... looks almost carbonated. 🍾 🥳

Scuse me miss, that's MY chair! "Sparky Sparks" aka "Princess Sparkle" (Canis familiaris) BUSTED!!
Besides enjoying em in their own bioactive displays, it's SUPER satisfying ta be producing 90-95% of our "feeder" insects! Chrome (Gyna caffrorum) and Dubia (Blaptica dubia) Roaches, Buffalo Beetles (Alphitobius diaperinus), Mealworms (Tenebrio molitor) and Cupboard Moth (Plodia interpunctella) larva... yum, yum. 😋 enjoyed by spiders, geckos, skinks, frogs, fish, axolotl, dragons, birds and other bugs! Starters avail... PM for info. 😉

Hermit Crabs (Paguroidea) aka Soldier Crabs in the islands where Hubby grew up enjoying their new* "crabitat beach". Busy exploring all night, just about every night now. Few of em have already swapped shells and gotta couple molting. Fascinating lil critters! *last pic is arrival vs outta QT 🦀🏡
"Fling" the Crested Gecko (Correlophus ciliatus) was a self-gift/CL find back around Mother's Day. She was a lil underweight and skittish at first but patience paid off and she's become quite the socialite! 🥰 Check us out @discofish78 (FB, Instagram & getgills.com) like and follow! #crestedgecko
Fishroom buggies? Yup! In addition ta our birds, reptiles and amphibians, most of the fish we keep/breed are insectivores... just makes sense ta keep em in-house. Mealworms and Darkling Beetles (Tenebrio molitor) setup... a work in progress for sure, but productive nonetheless. Specs - 10 gal tank setup as semi-arid vivarium; screen top keeps out Pantry Moths (Plodia interpunctella); premixed substrate; primarily starchy foods for mealworms and occasional dried fruit/bugs/fish for beetles. Improvements on deck - proper splined screen lid, more substrate and replacement plants... something for beetles ta chew/climb on.
Might fish tank manicures be the next new/big thing? 🤔 🤣🤣 Check us out @discofish78 (FB, Instagram & getgills.com) like and follow! #yesyoucan #beautytips
