    I get a kick out of doing "meet & greets" with my snakes- but thanks to the pandemic, there was no Wildlife Expo here this summer, & my snakes are getting lazy...

    Re: When it rains it pours.....

    Demo started today. I have 11 reptiles chilling in my office with me as I write this.

    Two days of demo and then they can be back in their tanks for 5. Then two days next week of work, then back in their tanks for 5, etc. until it's done.

    I haven't fed the snakes in a few weeks so that their is no digestion issues while they are doing the work. The lizards ate, but not for a few days. I am going to feed them sparingly the next 2-3 weeks until the work is done and not near days when they will have only 70F heat in my office.

    The snakes will end up going about 6 weeks without eating, but I think they will all be okay and it's better than the stress of trying to feed and risk them not digesting fully.

    Everyone is in good shape health and weight wise, so I am not too worried.

    At least the contractors have started!

    Also, the reptile area is going to be awesome when it's done. We had to replace the ceiling and flooring so they are getting new lights controlled by their own switch! Nice LED lighting with a dimmer. I am excited.

    That's great news! I know you hate having the shell out for the repairs, but if there's a silver lining you get to make a few changes down there. Excited to see the finished product.
