After some debate this is my hopeful reptile acquisitions list for 2023.

~More T.s.sirtalis, male hypermelanistics, ery, albino & flame stuff, MO Striped. ~ H. nascius 1.1 (Plains Hognose Snake), if the breeder I plan to go through has the right pair available this year (they did last year) I'll probably get a pair of hognoses! The specific ones Im hoping for have some awesome genetics so hopefully it all works out! Those are the species Im gonna really try for however if I have the funds I'd love to also get: ~Dumeril's Ground Boa 1.1 I love bigger snakes especially dumeril's it'd be lovely to have a pair but we'll have to see ~ T.s.similis (Florida Blue-striped Garternsnake) They're a fun garter species and could be kept with the Easterns, I'd love to work with them. ~Mourning Geckos, I love Mourning Geckos a lot they're so neat! I've never owned geckos before so they'd be a great addition. While all of these species are lovely and I'd love to work with them I'd honestly just be thrilled with some more easterns for my plans and the hognoses! I have breeders in mind for the garters & hognoses but if anyone knows any good dumeril's breeders Id be happy to know

I put her on the stick so that I could spot clean and she did not approve or appreciate it

In case anyone was wondering about my wonderful worm, here is 7 month old vs the now approximately 2 year old Poptart the palmetto corn snake ! Her colors have developed so intensely, she no longer is a tiny pink worm, and contrary to what I was told about the morph she did definitely gain spots, and spots that she initially had have grown in size as well!

Snestion: if you could mix and match traits from two different morphs to create One Ultra Morph, what would you do?

🤔

Reverse Palmetto.

New Baby Alert!

For the none of you that guessed I'd be getting something other than a sand boa--you were right!

'24 1.0 Red Ultra Granite San Luis Potosí Kingsnake Lampropeltis mexicana mexicana

IMO he looks like the snake version of a spotted lanternfly

I'm getting a breeding pair of ouroboros cataphractus imported from Ukraine in October and I need name ideas!!

Two beautiful captive bred White Line Geckos

One of these beautiful girls was sent out to Ontario recently! She will be joining another breeding project. A healthy captive bred population means fewer animals taken from the wild! This beautiful species has been exploited by the pet trade. For a long time the majority of animals were wild caught, sold in awful condition for less than $30.

Support captive breeding! Buying from a breeder means you have access to the animal's lineage, care history, feeding schedule, weight, and is generally much cheaper than buying from a store!

There are definitely reputable specialty pet stores out there, which will often purchase stock from local breeders.

These beautiful animals deserve the best of care ♡

Donovan is home!

I had such an amazing day! I drove to a city about 2 hours away to pick up my new BP, who is almost a year old (and is seriously the chillest snake!). This photo does not do him justice, btw. He's SUPER bright yellow, though I saw his mom, who looks almost the same, and she has browned out a lot but still identifiably yellow. He is an Enchi Pastel Clown, and I am so in love with him already.

The breeder is a family operation, a dad an his teenagers, and they were so friendly and eager to show me their collection. I got to see a lot of truly amazing animals, including some really rare ball python morphs, as well as a snapping turtle, blood pythons, a Sulcata tortoise, a Burmese python, and a tegu! It was like so many of my dream reptiles, and I got to pet them and the whole time, Donovan chilling, being a very cool dude, exploring, and hanging out. This family has done a super job socializing their animals and they obviously care a lot for them. Most of their non-bps are rescues, and it was just nice to meet some local reptile people, because I'm so shy, it can be hard to meet like-minded people.

I honestly can't remember the last time I was at someone's house who isn't a relative, tbh. And reptiles aren't like dogs where you run into people walking the dog or at a dog park or something, you know?

Anyway, my family thinks I'm super weird that I like reptiles at all, or snakes especially, so it was very fun to meet other folks like me, and also to see all the adorable animals!

Why would you change my water and make sure my humidity is okay??????

Apollo II is ready for takeoff.

As much as I have enjoyed watching this doof grow from a gangly little weirdo into a limbless Adonis, I just... I don't have the energy to deal with yet another allelic gene and the dude is Ultramel Ice instead of Hypo Ice as I'd hoped. I've had such rotten luck with the Ice morph already anyway that I'm throwing in the towel and focusing my energy in a more productive direction.

I hope that someone will scoop him up and treasure him, because he really is a lovely guy.

My friend that's been taking me around to the reptile expos just posted up one of her high-white Solomon Island ground boa baby holdbacks from 2019 on morph market and it is killing me. The high white babies like this just keep getting prettier as they get older. Their scales are keeled so it feels like petting a dragon, and they only get like 2-3 feet long (the boys like this) and every time I see one it makes me wish I was still keeping snakes.

She actually posted a bunch of other snakes too, if anyone's interested in acquiring some really cool species! She does ship!

So every so often I make the (poor) decision to peruse my local craigslist ads to see what's looking good in the neighborhood. Well, today I came across an ad posted by someone who needed to rehome their ball python since they're moving soon and couldn't take her with, and as you all know I'm always more than happy to take in a spider morph if it means keeping one more off of the breeding market...

Everyone say hi to Tipsy!
