Phil at Arids Only posted an update video of the lavender albino Saharan he bought here a couple months ago. Just incredible! Always makes me happy to see animals I produced thriving in the care of others. I’ll be headed to the Reptile Super Show in LA January 6-
7th 2024. For the first time ever I’ll be bringing lavenders with me so come find my booth, say hello and check out this awesome new project in person. See ya soon!
Super simple enrichment for the Aldabras I added recently involved mounting metal clamps to allow hanging food items. Seems like this fellow has it figured out!
Completed a new shade in the Aldabra enclosure and wanted to share. It’s 12 ft by 24 ft. I added insulation throughout, misters and a few other little tweaks. They love it and so do I! Should you ever consider a giant tortoise the one thing I would offer as a keeper is to be sure to keep in mind everything has to be larger and will cost more as they grow. Acreage, shade, a barn, heating and cooling due to the climate, feed etc etc. They grow up so fast!! Seems like yesterday I could hold them in my hand.
Silly pumpkin fun on a cool day here
Pretty kingsnake I spotted wondering my patio tonight. Gotta love being able to herp in you’re backyard!
When Aldabra’s attack! lol. This one really wanted a neck rub today.
Thomasi chowing on it too..
Tossed some Palo verde in with the Uros today and it’s a hit for all species offered! These are some U.geyri chowing down
While observing this blacktail it decided to have a cool drink.
One of my Aldabra tortoises has a fondness for mesquite beans and hit pay dirt after a monsoon storm knocked down a pile!
One of my thomasi spending lots of time kicking dirt currently..
