Critter Cave Canada

06/05/2026

Came home from work last night to the most incredible surprise! In the last few days Cersei had finally started using her lay box as a hide instead of hiding underneath it so I knew something was coming but she finally did it! 7 beautiful eggs with 7 beautiful embryos developing inside! No slugs and momma is doing great! 50-60 days and some tiny adorable baby pygmy pythons will enter this world and all of our hearts! Elation only begins to describe how I'm feeling right now!

Tabitha shed last night, I guess this is her pre-lay shed? My research suggests eggs should arrive ~23 days after this shed, however we're nearly 3 weeks past that 23 days for Cersei. 🤷‍♂️

The anticipation is killing me! Still no shed from this girl but Cersei just shed again this weekend so about 3 weeks now. Both have stopped eating and both behave and appear very gravid. Just lay already!

Today was feeding day for everyone and when I went to separate the pygmys I found I couldn't. The children's were separated a couple days ago when I had the chance but these 2 like to really cram themselves in places. This is the first lock I've definitely seen so it's looking hopeful that many baby Antaresia are on the way! So exciting!

Just 4 more weeks until Critter Cave makes an appearance in Montreal once again! Selection is going to be limited, unfortunately, but I'm excited to see everyone again.

Safe to say they like each other. I did catch them locked up at one point, spooked them when trying to get a picture. They'll be together for the next couple weeks and with some luck we'll get some babies in a few months!

Love at first sight? What do you guys think?      

12/16/2025

I've been sitting on these for a couple months now but I just found babies! This is the most I've ever spent on an isopod but seeing babies is a huge relief! Hopefully I'll have some of these and others at the Montreal expo in March. I'll be sharing those over the next little bit, stay tuned! These came from James Smith. A legend. If you need some really cool stuff, he's the guy.
