For our Friday post we have a handsome young Bolivian Boa (Boa constrictor amarali). We produced this little guy a few years ago. He was held back because of his light colour and beautiful big peaks.
Another year and he should be old enough to sire his own litter. 🐍

A crimson Giant Day Gecko (Phelsuma grandis) hanging out on the glass while prepare it’s meal of the day.
Some of our Phelsuma have become quite comfortable with us opening the cage. Others are still shy. We really enjoy working with them, slowly coaxing them out of their hides for some interaction.

After lifting up her hide, this adult female Rein Snake (Gonyosoma frenatum) was sitting nicely for the camera. This beautiful animal is native to Taiwan. You can read more about this species in the link below.

We are getting close to the point in the season where we start pairing our boas for breeding. Such as this female Solomon Island Ground Boa (Candoia paulsoni). With luck, we’ll have some beautiful paulsoni neo’s to fuss over next year. 😁🐍

For our Friday post we have one of our adult female Halamehera Blue-tongue Skinks. (Tiliqua gigas gigas)
We hope this is a female at least, as she’s yet to be proven. For example her body type and behaviour lead us to believe this is a female. Next year she will be paired with a guaranteed male. After that we’ll have a better idea.
Here’s hoping next year we’ll be fortunate enough to have a litter of beautiful baby Blue-tongues to fuss over. 😁♥️🦎

Just in frame enough to snap a quick photo. This Standings Day Gecko (Phelsuma standingii) is a little camera shy, and will pivot around her perch to avoid the camera. 🤣🦎

A throwback to one of last years pairings: Hog Island Boas (Boa imperator) that produced a beautiful litter for us. We still have a few of these guys left, message us if you would like to chat about them. 😁🐍

The Ornate Uromastyx is one of our favourite Uromastyx species. Their colours and patterns make them very attractive and highly sought by keepers. These lizards are pretty special (Uromastyx ornata). 🦎❤️
