Mason's 5th birthday in the park. His shirt is so cute. For my first share, I usually start with the tree frogs. I started this party by allowing Candy Corn to roam freely above our heads until it was time to make snakelaces.

Billy, four years earlier and now. Now, he supports his python turban all by himself. He also wrote me a lovely thank you note. Julius Squeezer is the same ball python that I have been sharing for many years ever since I adopted him from Animal Control.

Vets Ericka and Jay Johnson decided they needed a very special ring bearer on their big wedding day in Arizona—pet tortoise Tom.

That's some chair, Corky. This whimsical and highly entertaining lizard is very shy at events. Upon returning home, he ate the full-sized spiky Madagascar cockroach that I had shared. For the first time in over 15 years of sharing Godzilla, a male water dragon, he ate a decent sized creamy crunchy caramel Dragon Cookie (a cockroach) in front of one very lucky group of students.

Yesterday at a local church/school; I shared the animals with 3 separate groups of about 75 students each. One of the students, Kenzie, age 10, sat with two lizards, one on her lap and one on top of her hoodie. While at school, when she was 6, she also sat next to my large 40 lb female leopard tortoise. The very same tortoise that she sat next to when she was 1 years old. As children age, the love for other animals can grow stronger and stronger. Good bond, good connection to our natural world.

Nobody eats the stinky black beetles that super worms become. The giant mealworms turn into beetles too. Many of my reptiles, toad, and frogs do eat them while they are still soft or in pupa stage. Here is Corky Boomerang eating the soft beetles.

As the bearded dragon was eating this, the abdomen popped off. She wasn't interested since it wasn't moving (much). I gave it to this ornate box turtle, Jill (the other half of Jack). Box turtles will eat anything they stumble upon. She ate every part before going outside to enjoy some natural sunshine, dirt, and grass.

Sandy Eating Grasshopper

While hiking yesterday and cleaning up after Twiggy, I noticed this huge gray grasshopper. I placed it in the zippered coin compartment of my backpack and hoped that this time I would remember it when I got home. This morning I offered it to this female bearded dragon, Sandy. I bought her from a lady who was moving out of the area. She has not been socialized. When near people, she will freeze to play statue or take a fast walk-about. Everyone loves these bearded ladies native of Australia. Don't worry, none of them come from Australia, they are all captive-bred.
