When your dog needs dental surgery and is a little hospital celebrity she gets a spa day throw in. Miss Peaches recently showed some signs of pain playing tug of war and we found she had a slab fracture of her upper left carnassial tooth that required removal. These are big teeth and a giant pain to get out. Thankfully her surgery and anesthesia team was top notch, and her wonderful assistant on the surgery is also an amazing nail artist (Paige ) so she woke up ready for spooky season!

I initially assumed Tripper my rock monitor (Varanus kingorum) must have injured himself in his enclosure. After a workup and starting medications I found a small house spider setup in a spot behind his heat panel. After relocating the spider and a course of meds for Tripper I haven't seen any more issues. Tripper and his girlfriend Ethel are both very thankful.

And it wasn't even a vacation, I was at a conference. Apparently the out of office message was not sufficient.

It's been a busy week with babies hatching! It's my first year back with any real attempts at breeding, and I've been quite fortunate so far! I've hatched my first ever Northern Spiny-tailed Gecko (Strophurus ciliaris), had this seasons first clutch of Leachie geckos (Rhacodactylus leachianus), and a couple of beautiful Mossy Leaf Tailed Geckos (Uroplatus sikorae).

While leafy greens are commonly fed to sulcatas in captivity, they do much better with a large portion of grasses/weeds, and that can include flowers!

I keep a large variety of temperate hibiscus that bloom this time of year and are some of Frank's favorites.

Baby Alligator Snapping Turtle update! Pinecone continues to do well, and now the turtles in the house have grown by 1!

Eastern Box Turtles are native to the southern area of the state I live in. Unfortunately though, Dottie is not a good candidate for release due to her health issues, so she's stuck with me.

This little chinchilla recently had surgery to remove a chronic tail wound. Despite wonderful care at home and bandage management the wound would not heal and was causing chronic pain. After suegery we placed a syringe over the surgery site to allow us to monitor but keep it protected from any nibbling. Wishing this little bean a speedy recovery!

Quick little photo dump of the week from the reptile room. Trying to work on some photo skills with all my animals, so here are this week's selections! As always, Fig the leaf turtle is the star of the show.

I didn't expect to have an update so soon, but this little turtle is determined to get better! Next step is a name, then working on a permanent enclosure.

I try to source as much decor as I can from outside as possible. The cost of supplies can climb pretty quickly on the bigger builds so this can really help cut costs. Ill leave this wood raised off the ground and in direct sun until I'm ready to use it!
