    Repticon OrlandoPickups and collection update (including over 50 pictures!)

    So today I went to my first reptile show, Repticon Orlando. There were a lot more people than I expected there to be as well as far more really cool animals. I ended up getting 2 new herps and a nice cage.

    My first pickup was an adult Flying Gecko. (Named him Garak: Star Trek DS9 reference)

    Current weight: 15 grams

    In this picture you can see his "wings" folded under his belly that allow him to glide up to 200 feet











    Next up was a sliding top glass tank from Pinellas County Reptiles (got to support the home team!)

    This cage is for my new Flying gecko Dimensions are 10" x 10" x 15"







    My third and final pickup was a female hatchling Desert King Snake (Named her Sekhmet: Egyptian Goddess of Destruction)

    Her colors didn't come out well in most of the pictures... her speckling isn't white it is bright yellow. the last picture shows it best.

    Current weight 20 grams










    Now onto an update on the rest of my collection:

    First up Gaius my female bearded dragon:

    Her 20 long (new much larger cage on the way)









    I mounted her heat lamp on the wall so I wouldn't have to mess with screen tops



    Here she is current weight: 110 grams, and in shed







    Next up is Helios, my leopard Gecko. (she is scheduled to go into the vet on Monday to get her eyes checked out, I suspect that she may have an eye infection any experiences with leopard gecko eye infections would be greatly appreciated)

    She looks pretty different since the last time I put pictures of her up. current weight (10 grams)











    Now onto some snakes:

    First up is Nergal, my female Dumeril's Boa Current weight 230 grams

    Her cage:











    Next Shagrath my 75% Coastal, 25% Jungle Carpet Python Current weight 220 grams

    His cage:

    0.1 Pastel 100% Het Clown Ball Python (Hestia)
    1.0 Coastal/Jungle Carpet Python (Shagrath)
    0.1 Dumeril's Boa (Nergal)

    0.1 Bearded Dragon (Gaius)

    Now onto my BP's. All of my BP's are currently housed in 1/2 of an AP T8 (Each have their own) with this set up:



    My First Bp was Zed

    Zed went on a major feeding strike this winter and because of this is a bit behind on her weigh which is currently 520 grams

    Zed is a yearling normal female (who I originally thought was a male)















    My second BP was Q. a male spider

    Q. also went on a feeding strike this winter Current weight: 480 grams















    I got the last 2 at the same time

    First up is Hestia my female Pastel 100% het clown

    current weight 610 grams









    Finally I have Zeus, a male pastel

    current weight 560 grams









    Thanks for checking out my collection. Comments and questions are welcome.
