If you have top opening enclosures always check to make sure there isn't a snake up there before opening it. π€£π€£ Luckily Bruno's here is a front opener. He was ready for lunch. β₯οΈπ #fancymilksnake
Baseball and swimming.... What a wonderful way to spend a long weekend. β₯οΈ I hope you got to do a thing or two you love this holiday weekend as well! βΎπ¬
Happy Sunday from our gecko girl, Lottie! Our geckos don't get nearly enough love on here, and I don't know why because they are pretty cool little lizards. β₯οΈ #geckolove #WorldLizardDay
Wrapping up my ode to lizards for missing World Lizard Day here is Gus the Blue Tongue Skink having some lunch today. β₯οΈπ¦ Lizards can be tough but they're worth it.

Jack, the 5 (and a third) year old self proclaimed future Olympic swimmer, is very excited to be watching the Olympics this year. What are your favorite sports to watch? So far ours have included swimming (obviously), gymnastics, and beach volleyball, but I, for one, definitely miss baseball being a part of the summer games. ππ»ββοΈπ€Έπ»ββοΈπβΎ
Spotlight Sunday: Gus the blue tongued skink! Gus, aka my little meatloaf, is enjoying a worm, blueberry, and apple snack. They are such fun animals to watch with their tiny little legs and big, round bodies. This snakelike lizard can be found in Australia and are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and animals. Some of Gus' favorites are superworms, crickets, kale, mustard greens, squash, blueberries, and strawberries. #bluetonguedskink #blueylove
Happy Sunday! I hope everyone has a great week. β₯οΈ
Perseus, Diego, and Dante. They are the cutest ever, but dang boys we need to work on those nails. β₯οΈ #rescuetortoises #russiantortoise #greektortoise #tortoiselove #crazytortoiselady
People sometimes ask if caring for the animals is ALL I do. π We have 34 reptiles right now so it may seem like it, but once everyone is taken care of and parties are done for the day this is what we do. All summer long!! We hope you're enjoying your summer, staying cool, and having a blast!!
Swimming here at home with the beautiful red rock backdrop is obviously our favorite thing, but what is YOUR favorite thing to do in the summer?
Bruno forgot for a minute that it was feeding time.... #snakelove #milksnake
Update ... It's now up to 25 kids....πβ€οΈ
"We tentatively have 20 kids right now ....this is getting out of hand. I haven't ever gotten this good of a response with a birthday party. People are getting real excited about your reptiles!!"
This is what I love to hear!! I have an upcoming birthday party this Friday, and I love getting messages like this from the parents. β€οΈππ¦π’ If you want to have the coolest birthday party on the block let me know! We are booking for summer parties now!!
Instagram isn't working for me right now, but I couldn't wait to share one of our new loves. I've dreamt of having a Blue Tongue Skink for a while and one happened to be available in my area from a lovely family who just didn't have the time for him that they knew he needed. I am thrilled to have Gus and can't wait for his tank background and a few other decor items to come. For now we're using towels because if the Bearded Dragon sees another animal he goes crazy! β₯οΈ The reptile room is as full as my heart!!!
Watching some fireworks from the pool. β₯οΈ I like that they're only allowed at the park, which is next to the fire department, and that we can see them from the yard. πππ§¨π§βπ
Beardie enrichment! Bearded Dragons like, and need, space. I get Bailey here out just about every day for some fun activities, like the beardie ball, and some space to run a bit. We are making good progress on trust, and I'm learning more about Bailey every day. β₯οΈ
