Some requested pictures!

Hello Everyone!

I posted in the "introduction" section of the website and several very nice people requested some pictures of our ever growing zoo.

Marvin the sand boa who was purchased for a friend of mine - didn't work out cause of her kids. He is about the size of a night crawler right now.

Higgings the hognose the day he arrived in the mail - he doesn't really stay still long enough for me to take pictures. He is always on the go.
He is my kids favourite snake.

And finally CJ - she is a boa of some sort. I was told she is a Caramel Sunglow but that doesn't appear to be an
actual thing? We took her in trade for some other stuff cause I thought she was pretty. No idea if I got ripped off
or not but I still think she is pretty. This picture was taken yesterday right after she shed so she is particularly pretty.

Didn't want to make this too big so I didn't include pictures of our tarantula, preying mantis, or turtle :)

:welcome:


You can post 20 pics in one post, so the more pics you post the more we like you. :D ;)

Some of us are T and turtle keepers plus it would be cool to see a mantis. :hint, hint:

Well, Okay then.

This is Sheldon - my 9yr old daughter's box turtle. She won him in a contest - she answered the most box turtle questions correctly!
Sheldon is cute but doesn't do much.

This is Chloe my Salmon pink bird eater - she is actually very nice and enjoys coming out for walkabout.

This is Nigel - my 7yr old found her trapped between the window and the window screen. It is a female mantis but
she insists her name is Nigel and who am I to argue? Nigel is an evil genius sort of insect. I am pretty sure she is plotting
something nefarious.

So that is the "Creepy crawlies" - the rest of the household is bunnies, mice, chickens, ducks, dogs, and cats. It always sounds like so much stuff when I write it out but really it doesn't seem overwhelming or anything offline. We are planning on getting another female ball python or two and maybe trying our hand at breeding them on a very small scale but we will see. I mostly just like watching them. Hubby has spent too much time watching SnakeByte videos and it is giving him ideas!

Glad I am not the only one with a petting zoo on here... LOL! :gj:
We have a little of everything it seems. But our kids love it. And we also love it. (My Fiance and I)

Nice collection. I have a small reptile/T zoo in my room. 9 bps, 1 carpet python, 1 columbian rainbow boa, 1 bci, 1 beardie, 2 leopard geckos, a western hognose, and as of tomorrow ill have 11 Ts

Your Pastel Enchi is a smoker!!! :gj:

I like the honey bee! And the colors on that boa are just crazy!!! Love them. Thanks for sharing. :)

Great pictures! Glad to see I'm not the only one with a petting zoo at my house. :D

Awesome looking animals and great names. Is Nigel the name of the mantis from a bugs life?

Wow awesome looking collection

I noticed Marvin is on rice as a substrate. How's that working out? Also, I love your zoo!

Thank you all! we are pretty happy with everything.

The preying mantis from a bugs life was Manny. I am not entirely sure where Nigel came from but my seven year old tries to name everything Nigel for some reason!

Viper: The rice worked pretty well at first but not so good once it got wet. So we've moved him onto aspen which also works really well and doesn't start to go icky when wet!
Not sure where I found the rice idea - was on the internet somewhere. I think it would work if you didn't put a water dish inside the cage but I'd be too paranoid about dehydration
to do that!

Nice collection. Love the champagne and boa never seen one with those colors before

Manny thats right. Also maybe the guy was refering to the caramel as being the albino in it cause ive seen a lot of boa's referred to as caramel albino when it is albino but looks caramel
