Rocky got to stretch his scales outside this past weekend.

For those that don't know, Rocky and Diamond were the first pair of snakes I got. I never thought we would end up with all the amazing animals we now get to care for.

Java is settling into his new enclosure.

Hopefully Latte will be in hers by end of the week. Currently working on getting the temps right.

This was truly a dream snake for me. I've had Latte for 7 months now. She is everything I hoped for and more in a Dwarf Burmese Python.

Well, as mentioned in my last post, I've been staying busy. Here's what we have been up to. It took a total of two and a half long days of hard work, but our tortoise enclosure is fenced in. Now we need to put in some plants and wait for the tortoise barn to arrive.

36'L x 22'w -> 792 sq ft of space for them.

So the last few months have been busy. I wanted to take a moment to catch everyone up on a few things that's been going on.

1) I've been working long hours at my main job. Not a complaint. I'm thankful to have work during these hard time, just saying i haven't had as much time to spend on my social media accounts or personal projects.

2) My family and I finally moved into a bigger home where we dont seem like horders. Haha we outgrew our last place years ago due to trying to start a business in the same house we live in.

3) I received my APcage order, after one of the longest wait times. Though it seems everything is taking longer accross all manufacturers, so its understandable.

4) Took 3 weeks to put the enclosures together but still waiting on heat panels, which will take about 7 weeks.

5) My 3 viper boa babies from December 2021 our doing great. I'm so happy to have cbb that are eating regularly. Hopefully, next year, i will have some more and open them to the public.

6) My Blackhead pythons locked in January so 🤞

7) with the recent move, we got more outside space so working on building an area for our Red Foot tortoise to hangout outside when the weather is nice.

8) Some of yall may already know, I also show my d Mako in akc and ukc. he got his AKC champion title last week.

9) I'm working on a mobile pet care app. Yes its been done before, but theirs feature i want that i cant get on others so im doing it myself when i have time.

Thats all the updates i have for now but stay tuned. Once i have these enclosure set up ill be posting pictures as i move some of my animals to their new home.

19/02/2023

Sunday fun day for my viper boas. I'min the middle of cleaning when i came across a tight lock... I think ill let them be and refresh the water later.

So this is a dream snake, well trio, for me. I have alot of amazing snakes but these snakes are one of the snakes ive been searching all over the place for over 4 years for and finally have a trio to call my own. With a little luck I might have a couple more next year. I will do a you tube video announcing what they are once they settle in. In the mean time can anyone guess the species?

12/10/2022

Now that the baby viper boas are eating readily its time to get them use to being handled.

Eggs is has so much growing to do. In just a few years i wont be able to hold him like this.

Ra has very few speckles compared to Luna my female hog. Its interesting watching the difference between the two.

Leave a comment, do you prefer more or less speckles on hog island boas?

09/10/2022

Look at all the speckles on Luna my female hog island.

08/10/2022

Last week I saw some pictures of someone elses caulker cay and thought its very interesting how dark they can get overall.

Mine our from Vin Russo and so far have only displayed a lighter gray color which I think is a perfect color on them.

What are your thoughts do you prefer the darker or lighter gray colors?

So now that I consider the remaining Viper boa babies stable.
I have started updating their tubs as they continue to grow to provide enrichment and encourage exploration around their environment.
Probably by their first birthday I will be moving them to larger enclosures depends on their size.

Now I need to come up with names for the three I'm keeping. Any suggestions?

Heres Ophion!

Looking forward to see woma babies from Wade the Woma Python and my female Rhea in a couple years.

Rhea still has another year before shes ready.
