It's been a while since I got photos of some of our current mice - here is one of our absolutely adorable little bucks! He is a colorpoint beige tricolor. 💕

Shout out to Damon and Jamie at for producing these CBB cat gecko babies! We acquired an adult pair from them barely a week ago, and just discovered these enclosure-hatched anger twigs. We're thrilled, in the past we've had eggs laid but never hatched from our first pair. Can't wait to watch these guys grow.

Life has been absolute chaos lately - sorry we haven't posted much! We're looking forward to seeing many of you at the Bellevue expo tomorrow.

Behold - an itty bitty baby fire-bellied toadlet. 🥹 We'll have some of these adorable babies available once we get them grown past the needing-micro-foods stage! They make awesome pets - they're fun to watch, don't need a ton of room, and are easy to care for.

These little cuties are growing like weeds! The first two photos are the two girls who are currently available - we're working on following up with those of you interested in adopting, and will update their status on our website as they're reserved. ❤

Our handsome boy Agave perched like a goof ball. We're looking forward to having some new babies from him and Poppy sometime this month!

I've seen a fair bit of interest in this species lately. Maybe one to add to the zoo? 🤔 Super reasonable husbandry though I hear their lifespan isn't very long.

Sneak peek of one of five babies who will be available to reserve soon! This girl is so sweet. 🥰

One of the hardest parts about working with a wide range of animals is that with varying lifespan, age, and health history, you experience loss fairly frequently. In cases where an animal lives out a long happy life and you are able to notice decline and emotionally prepare yourself, it can be a little easier.

We lost Snorkel, our beloved mata mata turtle, Monday night only hours after reaching out to our vet to get him seen because of sudden concerning lethargy and buoyancy issues.

Mata matas are notoriously difficult to keep and we already knew when he came to us that he wasn't growing at a normal rate and had shell health issues, but he had done so well with us. To say we are heartbroken is an understatement - we hoped to have him for many many years and watch him grow into a huge, magnificent fish-slurping river monster. He was a charmingly clumsy, sassy fellow who I could sit with for hours while tidying his tank in the evenings. His tank is still set up of course, but I can't fathom it being anything but Snorkel's Home. My heart hurts thinking of tending to it without him.

While we wish it was for much longer, we're so glad that we got the opportunity to spoil him here. 😔💕

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!
