What Did You Do Today In Your World Of Herping Hobby or Business?

Doesn’t have to be major. Can be day to day activities, boring or exciting. And for any herps, not just snakes.

I’ll start:

Today I cleaned two enclosures. I also raised my water bill a notch by cleaning a boatload of bowls.


Olivia graduated from Reptile Basics Jumbo water bowls to Tractor Supply big’uns for soaking.

Olivia checking out her big’un.

i washed and scrubbed 10 big tubs that i didn't get to this weekend before work. i browsed MorphMarket and then here i am on BP.net thinking about dinner and watching the Bachelorette tonight.

Tonight is one of my animal nights. I'm going through and spot cleaning and changing water in all 35ish snake enclosures. 16 hatchling corns also need checked on and watered. They fed a few days ago so they might be ready for paper changes too. After snakes are done I've got 10 rodent bins to clean and change bedding on. I also spent a good part of the day researching raising, breeding and hatching button quail as another feeder option other than mice and asf's.

I'm cleaning my 3 Trans Pecos rat snake's cages, then I'll be cleaning mice & feeding all snakes later on. I'm being "watched" by quite a few :snake: today, lol...

Fed 14 of the newborn baby boas this morning f/t, 4 of which it was their first meal, hooray!

edit - and Monday night is BP feeding night so that will be later

:gj: I know how good that must feel! :D

Last night was feeding night, so I just double checked temps today.

Oh, and I contacted a breeder about a BCI I am going to pick up this weekend, finally made a decision.

Did a total tub cleaning and coco fiber substrate change of all the racks Sunday.

I read this thread earlier but couldn't post cause I was being lazy today. I had today off and other than periodic check ons......I had done nothing. Now though I can post. I got motivated and cleaned all water bowls, completely cleaned 2 cages with fresh substrate and spot cleaned the others. I did go ahead and also place a food order with perfect prey too!

I did absolutely nothing with my ball python, Crowley... He is shedding :P
I miss him so much while he's in shed mode. I usually take him out to play in his room then bring him to the couch to watch some shows. He averages 3 hours a day out and just loves being out, even when I put him back after 3 hours he asks to come back out. It's day 2 of him not coming out and I miss him so much already.

Edit: Oh i guess I did do something, I changed and cleaned his water bowls, I never see him actually come out to drink while he's shedding but I'm sure he does, he's just really sneaky about it.

Did some handling last night with my newest little guy. He is coming out of his shell and starting to explore a bit rather than just balling up in my hands. Did some browsing on morph market. I have an empty setup and our local repticon is in a few weeks, falling on my birthday weekend so.....

Worked on calibrating my time lapse video incubator. LED lights do produce heat and the effect is compounded an enclosed setting. I have the incubator stabilized at 87F/99% humidity with 100 white mini-lights. The lighting is a little dimmer than I had hoped, but, seems decent for my first attempt.

I also reviewed a quote I had requested for usage of a copyrighted song in one of my upcoming snake-hatching videos. I was thinking a few dollars, the studio was thinking a few hundred dollars (with clauses that stretch into the tens of thousands). Yeah...right...I could do that...or I could just get some royalty free music on the internet and call it a day...:rolleyes:

Fed my special needs dragon strawberry for the first time. Put the filter in my axolotl's new tank since his old one cracked in the middle of the night a few nights ago and....i think that's it.

Not me but my daughter has a presentation today in her English class. The topic was wide open so she is doing it on one of our retics; permission has already been granted by the teacher. The hubby will be taking in one of the 50% SD females since she is small enough for my daughter to hold and she has a very laid-back temperament.
