Our adorable fire-bellied toads are now parents! 🐸 We have little bitty free-swimming tadpoles. They are so cute, and start out surprisingly large considering how small the adults are!

This gorgeous plated lizard joined our crew over the weekend! We haven't settled on a name for her yet - our male's name is Chevda. We are hoping we might end up with plated babies, since they are so infrequently captive bred! Virtually all in the pet trade are wild caught imports.

Earlier this year, Nathan and I road-tripped to Utah for a video collaboration with Clint's Reptiles - I'm thrilled with how this video turned out given that we are not put together "in front of the camera" people. 😂 I was also 33 weeks pregnant at the time, so our baby girl Katelyn technically made a stealthy appearance!
Featured is one of our long-eared hedgehogs, Cap, who is from Prickle Pack near Chicago, and our lesser tenrec Tapia, from Quill Valley Exotics in Maryland. 🥰

A huge thank you to everyone who stopped by to see us at yesterday's Nebraska Reptile Breeder's Expo! We had a wonderful time, and appreciate each and every sale! I officially have less than 3 weeks left til my due date with our daughter, so next expo we may have a very small assistant with us. 😊

A sneak peek at our current hedgie babies! We'll post more photos once we've made it through the expo this weekend - lots of prep still to do. 😊

Happy Monday from our smiley boy Snorkel! ☺️💕

Hello everyone! We are in Utah currently for a video collaboration with some of our hedgies (and tenrec!), but will be home in time to see you all at the Coldblooded Expo in Bellevue on Sunday! 💕 Because of the tight turn around, we won't be stocking as many feeders/inverts for this show. Please feel free to email/message us any requests so we can specifically pack them for you!

There's nothing quite like satin golden curls!

Banded skink appreciation! 🥰
For being crepuscular / nocturnal animals, our Peters banded skinks love basking in the evenings before lights out, and are so inquisitive and personable.

13/12/2023

Our newest two babies and last of 2023! 🥰 One boy and one girl from Magpie x Helio.

09/12/2023

We can't wait to see everyone at the expo tomorrow! Link below for details if you're interested in attending.

Happy little flat boys today during isopod care! I can't get over how cute these guys are.

Q: How big is a hatchling Emerald Tree Skink?

A: Not very big! 🥹🥰

Happy hatch day, little one!

Second Emerald tree skink build in progress! 🔥 Planning to incorporate some plants and enrichment inspired from the dozens of wild ETS we observed in Palau a few years back. 💕

25/10/2023

Took some fall photos today for - our baby boy Cliff is such a handsome guy! 🍂🥰

24/10/2023

The last two days have felt like summer here in Omaha! Took some of our creatures out yesterday to enjoy some natural UVB. 🌤 Pics featuring Cuban tree froglets, baby anery Kenyan sand boa, and an American toad. 💕

I have been sick the last few days, but was back to the land of the living today and working on catching up! Animal care comes first but I'll get to emails and applications as well as soon as I can. 😊

Paint me like one of your French girls. 😘

Made it home after a great show! We've been running on fumes and willpower for the past week (tbh more like 2 weeks) so I am grateful to have our livestock safely put away so I can eat and sleep! Playing catch-up will be tomorrow's problem. 😅

MVS (Most Valuable Snake) today deserving special thanks is our boy Sisal! 💕 He knocked it out of the park being the best ambassador rosy boa - he was calm, curious, and patient making new friends all day long. We always expect our "interactive" animals to take breaks and only participate when they're comfortable, but I seriously think he would sign up for expos as his idea of a perfect day. 😅 He has more people energy than I do! It was an absolute pleasure to teach people about rosy boas - and the variety of other species we brought along!

24/09/2023

Come see us at the Nebraska Reptile Breeder's Expo! We're here til 4pm today with inverts galore, feeder amphibians, debut baby snakes, and an assortment of other items. 💕

19/09/2023

Emery and her baby boys went on a field trip to the office today! These two kids are active little weasels, they'll definitely keep their new people on their toes. 😂

11/09/2023

Cap got to show off how handsome he is tagging along to a vet appointment today! You can't feel it through the photo but LEHs have the softest, most luxurious tummy fur. 🥰

09/09/2023

I'm thrilled to share the very first snakes we've produced! Rosy boas are gorgeous and super underrated. 🥰 Mom of this litter is Peach Taffy, who we've had for 9 years. Last year we added Sisal to the family so we'd have another ghost San Felipe rosy to pair her with. This morning we woke up to four little peach taffies / sisal ropes! 🐍

We'll be growing these babies up for a bit and then finding them great homes!

My favorite pics from a mouse photo shoot over the weekend! This is a gorgeous young texel doe I'm keeping. 🐁💕

26/08/2023

Our KSB girl Petrichor is looking extra gravid lately! We can't wait to see how many baby sand boas she's hiding in there. Sweet Petri is still eating great and loving her favorite rock burrow, even if it's getting to be a bit more snug in there!

16/08/2023

Just sent this darling girl off with her new family! 🥰 I swear I will do my best to post updates this evening for our available baby boys. 🦔
