We never seem to take enough pictures
We never seem to take enough pictures of our Brazilian Rainbow Boas (Epicrates cenchria cenchria). This is one of our adult males.
This species has a reputation of being more challenging to keep because of their humidity requirements. In reality, the challenge may very well be more about understanding how to maintain humidity levels in the enclosure itself.
With proper planning, a good understanding of ventilation, and a substrate that holds humidity well (Coca mulch, Peat moss, Sphagnum moss), this species is very rewarding to keep.

A Rough Green Snake patiently waiting
A Rough Green Snake patiently waiting for its meal. These beautiful little arboreal snakes primarily eat insects. Our animals are housed together in small groups of one male to multiple females (Opheodrys aestivus).

A Halloween Phase Amazon Tree Boa
A Halloween Phase Amazon Tree Boa (Corallus hortulanus). This is an Amazon from the litter we produced in late 2019. We’re still holding onto the entire litter, waiting to see how they turn out.
There have been many inquiries about this litter, and we haven’t forgotten about you!

What is your New Years Resolution?
What is your New Years Resolution? Our resolution is to continue to learn more about our animals, and pass on our knowledge to the many keepers in this hobby. Weather your a new hobbyist or an experienced keeper, there’s always opportunity to learn.
We’ve been working with reptiles for many years now. In the last few years we’ve started keeping various lizards we’ve never kept before. This has been an awesome experience and it’s increased our interest in the hobby, and allows us to share these experiences with friends and other keepers. 😊

Happy New Year! For our first post of 2020
Happy New Year! for our first post of 2020 we thought we would share a picture of a Solomon Island Tree Boa (Candoia bibroni).
Last week one of our females looked like she was building up some follicle growth. You never know, we may be fortunate enough to have some wriggling little neonates this fall. ❤️🐍

Our adult female Timor Python is looking
Our adult female Timor Python (Malayopython timorensis) is looking as beautiful as ever. This big girl doesn’t enjoy being handled too much. Generally she gets her her way, only photographing her while coiled up.
Sometimes in the evening before the lights go our we’ll let her cruise around he reptile room, checking things out. Allowing animals to have some enrichment. In our opinion, occasional enrichment goes a long way to the well being of our animals.

This chubby little monkey Just
This chubby little monkey just ate a frozen thawed fuzzy mouse, and he’s already looking for more! Mexican Black Kings (Lampropeltis getula nigrita) have such great personalities. 😝
