I'm still alive!! And yes, I think I have enough critters to qualify as a zoo at this point. All my ball python eggs have finished hatching, and out of 18 eggs I got 17 healthy baby snakes! The last egg contained a full-term but heavily deformed hatchling that died before emerging. I won't go into the gruesome details, but let's just say it was... ( Read more... )

Snakey love, that is! The Blood has been rejecting all comers lately, which could be good or bad, depending on if she 'took' with Stick or not. Bark has been gettin' his groove on with all the ladies, and I have a fresh one lined up for him after he sheds, a really pretty 'dinker' girl I got a couple of months ago. I have some suspicions about her ( Read more... )

This week was pretty dang exhausting. I got a second job at Taurus Dog Training and Daycare, down by the Mansfield Dam (for those of you who know where that is) on 620. The am shift there starts at 6:30, which means I have to be up by 5:30. It's not *TOO* bad, except yesterday. Yesterday I worked 13 hours, a 7 hour shift at Taurus immediately ( Read more... )

I have a secret knitting project that ABSOLUTELY MUST BE DONE no later than December 28th. I'm going to work on it when I finish this post, but I have been BAD and it is not as done as it should be. Not in crisis mode yet, but still. On top of that I have Jen's bachelorette party to help plan, and many other knitting/crocheting projects I wanted to ( Read more... )

So tonight, just for the hell of it, I got out my probes and started sexing snakes. I did Bark (M), Stick (M), Blossom (F), Crystal (F), and Ast. Ast .... is male. >__< Great. He is male 100% without a shadow of a doubt, sperm plugs popped out and he probed probably a dozen scales deep with NO resistance ( Read more... )

It's going! This year is my first breeding year, and I'm only breeding one pair, Edamaru/Root, so babies will be 50% possible het albino ( Read more... )

...my animals are so cute post. But I can't help it! They are ( Read more... )

So, I was browsing through the classifieds on kingsnake.com, and...I'd really love to own an anaconda some day. Because 1) They're gorgeous snakes, especially the marbled yellows and the greens in general, and 2) It would be completely awesome to tell people 'Yeah, I have a pet anaconda,' and watch their eyes go O.O ( Read more... )

Now there's a potentially innuendo-laden entry title. ^__~ Anywho, I haven't written about this, so...I built my rack (three tiers, with the top shelf left empty as a potential extension) on Halloween. As I was building it, I realized that I could have designed it a *whole lot* better, but as I was already nearly done, I thought "Eh, what the hell ( Read more... )
