A blue plastic tub with dirt inside and in the corner a little snake head can be seen poking out. She is black with cream coloured stripes on her chin and neck. Her little black tongue is sticking out

I'm dumping dirt out of enclosures in advance of a big move and this little rascal slithered into the tub I was using for dirt. Drusilla says hello from HER tub πŸ’…πŸ #elapheschrenckii

Sam, my pet ball python, says pretty please! Every life is precious and none of these snakes asked to be in this situation. Critters are innocents πŸ₯Ί

Bsky fam, we need help! An amazing group of volunteers has been working closely with Spirit Keeper Animal Sanctuary to save ~70 ball pythons 🐍 from a neglect situation. We are in serious need of help covering vet bills bc every snake needs vet care

Lots of ways to donate, all will be in the thread

Unfortunately being blind is not a good quality of life option for a frog since they rely so heavily on their eyesight for things like hunting and jumping. Many vet and eye specialist visits later and there was just no way to reverse this for him :(

Sad day today... one of the White's Tree Frogs that has been boarded with me is crossing the rainbow bridge. He developed lipidosis in his eyes with keratitis and has been in progressive decline for several months now.

My new pet millipedes arrived today and I'm so stoked. They're North American Giants. I'm hoping to add a few more species to the fam here soon as well

No problem! They don't all do this and Flauta didn't the first winter he was with me, but he has every winter since. I turn off lights 2 weeks after his last meal and turn them back on when he's back out. It's very cute actually - he picks a hide and barricades the door with dirt when he goes πŸ₯Ή

A leopard gecko is sitting on a small log. He is yellow with black leopard print spots. His eyes are brown with a black slit. He is licking his lips, with a little pink tongue poking out. In the background is another small log, in front of the gecko there is slate rock, and in the foreground are some fake foliage.

Little Flauta had his first meal since coming out of brumation today!!! I sure missed him. He was down for 6 months 😴

Well the dang latch on baby Dirt's exoterra enclosure broke and he made a run for it. Found the little rascal under the bed and he was PISSED that I didn't leave him there

Tanimbar locales are known to be spicy and this little guy won't let me forget it πŸ˜…πŸ€£ #bluetongueskink #tanimbar 🦎

A mostly black snake peeks out from the corner. His chin is off white with black stripes, and the occasional brown-ish stripe is seen along his body. His scales are very shiny in the light. He's laying on an orange pool noodle in a pile of leaves. Shed skin and plants can be seen in the background

Dracula, who does not like being shown up, is here as well looking extra shiny today. To me his expression is doing a 🀨

Ignore the shed skin in the background, his bug friends are taking their sweet time with it 🀭

I'll do him the courtesy of a latin name drop #elapheschrenckii #russianratsnake 🐍

A mostly white snake is looking off into the distance. She has some yellow and pink blushing along her sides, and red eyes. In the background you can see lots of spider plants and environmental clutter.

Thank you!!! They are the same morph. Axanthic is a lack of yellow and anery is a lack of red. They're known as axanthic but I think they're actually anery, since wild type halms are sooooo red and that's what is missing here

Show me hotdog!!! That's an amazing name

Little Charlie is finally shedding out. He arrived here 2 weeks ago and was dull then in pre-shed. It doesn't normally take adult skinks this long to shed but the poor fella is underweight and undernourished so it took a bit longer. He's eating like a champ tho so should be fixed up in no time πŸ₯°πŸ¦Ž

Then I'm certain he's actually a Merauke! Irian Jayas can also get that big but other Indonesian subspecies don't ever hit 2ft, and he doesn't look like an IJ to me. Care is the same regardless, and I'm sure he wants me out of his swamp just as much now as before hehehe

The front legs on little Shrek have too big of speckles for a Halmahera and his colours are classic for a Merauke. There are only a handful of people producing Halmaheras in captivity right now and they're all working with anerys as far as I know

I think he's a Merauke! I'm working with Halmaheras and have a few of them. Their colouring is very different. The first pic is of my Merauke, Cannoli. They're very variable in colour but all fairly large. Second pic is Eddie, one of my Halmaheras. They can be yellow or grey but most are red/brown

He's beautiful! Although he looks like a Merauke to me πŸ‘€ do you have a top down picture of him? πŸ™‚ These guys get mislabeled all the time!
