Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from your family at Archie’s Angels! 🎄💫

2024 has been an incredible year. We’ve had heartwarming adoptions and interactions with you, inspired and educated countless students and the public about reptile husbandry and veterinary medicine, and learned from and loved the critters that have passed on this year.

We said goodbye to Angus the blue tongue skink, a long time ambassador. We said hello to many more friends, including Warrior the plated lizard, an abundance of “beans” (Jelly bean, Lil bean, Lightning McBean, Beep), Mushu, Treeko, and so many more.

Thank you for all your support, and cheers to 2025! 🎉

October & November's veterinary appointments were another success here at Archie's!

Mushu the bearded dragon first saw Dr. Wolfe last month. She originally came to us with some neurological concerns - tremors, flipping over, and the inability to upright herself. Her foster has been hard at work with Dr. Wolfe's guidance, giving her daily baths, supplements, medications & aiding with syringe/spoon-feedings. Some days were really good for Mushu! Other days, not so much, but after a month of hard work, she is doing SO much better! While she is still experiencing some head tremors, Dr. Wolfe is very happy with the progress Mushu & her foster have made between appointments. She still has a long road ahead of her, but she's a trooper!

Come November, we had a handful of animals in for wellness examinations. Delta the leopard gecko, Leonardo DePinchio the hermit crab, and Suma the leopard gecko all got the all-clear from Dr. Wolfe and will be looking for their new homes! Delta had very strong opinions about checking her oral cavity, but it was essential to ensure she had no signs of illness! Leonardio DePinchio lived true to his name and ensured Dr. Wolfe knew that his claws were working! Suma did not exhibit any changes from her previous check, and while eggs do not appear very prevalent on exam, her foster was instructed to give her a lay box just in case she decides she wants to produce some eggs. While Suma has not been with a male gecko to our knowledge, it's still important that this is provided so that she feels comfortable in case her body is trying to make eggs!

Reggie the ball python came to us with concerns for upper respiratory infection. While Dr. Wolfe did not notice any lung concerns upon examination, he is instructed to be in quarantine until we can confirm or deny any illness. He was deep in "blue" during his appointment, meaning he was almost ready to shed! His foster is going to keep a close eye on him for any wheezing or respiratory changes with a recheck next month.

Last, but certainly not least, is Pepper the roughneck monitor (dubbed "Cricket" by Dr. Wolfe). While there were no immediate concerns mentioned by Cricket's previous home, it was noticed that she had lack of motor function in her front left limb. There was no note of injury by the foster or Dr. Wolfe, but we wanted to ensure everything looked good under the hood... so off to radiology she went! Cricket was very feisty for this, so a little bit of anesthesia was administered to help keep her comfortable & allow for clear imaging. Initially, Dr. Wolfe focused on the limb of concern. There were no significant findings in the limb - clean of any breaks or fractures! Next up was her spine... and that's where we found the problem! Cricket has a cervical compression injury at C7 (indicated by the position of the mouse cursor in the radiographs); it is believed that she had taken a nasty fall at some point prior to relinquishment, thus pinching a nerve along the spinal cord and resulting in limited motor function of the limb. Once we had our answer, she was administered an anti-inflammatory injection and nearly jumped off the radiology table once anesthesia was discontinued. Cricket & her foster have a long journey ahead of them. Physical therapy is key, so she has a series of exercises that are a part of her daily routine now. At this time, Dr. Wolfe is uncertain if full motor function will return to the limb.
In addition to the above, Cricket has also laid 4 infertile eggs since relinquishment! No additional eggs were noted, but there's the possibility that they had not yet calcified at the time of radiographs. She has a recheck scheduled to assess her progress.

As always, thank you all for your outpouring support! Stay tuned for more animal updates!

BEFORE AND AFTER!

We can’t stop gushing over Treeko’s progress 🤩 She now boasts the most gorgeous, clear eyes. She’s hunting and eating super worms like a champ!

This is the result of over a month of 3x daily ocular cream and saline rinses. Reptiles are resilient, and we’re so grateful to be able to offer them a second chance.

This is your donation dollars and social media support at work! Thank you!!!
