Our Rarely seen Southern Alligator Lizard (Elgaria multicarinata).
Now that spring is in the air, it would seem these lizards are more active. In our experience these are secretive lizards. 🙂

Today we thought we would share a closeup of a Monkey-Tailed Skink (Corucia Zebrata). These are easily one of our favorite skinks!

Our Ocellated Skinks are growing up! A few months ago, some Ocellated Skinks (Chalcides ocellatus) were born and have been steadily growing up.
Ocellated skinks are viviparous, meaning females give birth to live young that have developed inside the body of the parent. Ocellated skinks are tiny at birth, just a few centimeters in length.
It’s that time of year again! Our Nigerian Uromastyx (Uromastyx geyri) are actively courting and breeding off and on over the last two weeks. We love Uromastyx, and can’t wait to see those beautiful little babies. 🙂

Next year our Trinket Rat Snakes (Coelognathus helena) will be old enough to pair for the first time. These cool little snakes are a pleasure to work with.

Our adult male Nigerian Uromastyx (Uromastyx geyri) patiently waiting for a treat.
This beautifully bright yellow male is always keen to get first dib’s on food when offered. 🙂

Its that time of year again when our Amazon Tree Boas are busy bees!
Not the best picture I must say, though we don’t want to disturb our animals during breeding season. Our little yellow male went straight to work when introduced to the much larger female.
With luck and patience, we’ll have some beautiful ATBs from this pairing later on this year.
