Looking particularly beautiful this morning! This is a female Kei island blue-tongued skink. Found only on a few islands in Indonesia, they are a very unique subspecies. And she has a boyfriend!😀. Hoping to breed them this year! Fingers crossed!

Get a tortoise, they said! It’ll be fun, they said! These guys are so powerful as they literally break out of their outdoor enclosure today! Earlier this week one of them broke through wooden trellis to get under the deck!😳

The moss is moving! This is the New Caledonian giant gecko, the world’s largest gecko. My friend here is just 1 year old and already really big. This is an omnivorous species that can be up to 14 inches long. Pictured is the same log 4 months apart! Perfect camouflage!

If you find yourself with a nice sunny area in your yard, consider planting some native wildflowers. All of these species are very low maintenance and attract everything from native bees, butterflies and hummingbirds. And the occasional lizard!😀

I don’t keep many amphibians in my collection but these little guys are cute! These are White’s tree frogs, an Australian species that can get up 4 inches. Also called dumpy tree frogs, they are very interactive and often eat insects right from forceps!

Finally got these little critters to breed this year! These are ivory millipedes, native to the southeastern US, and have been tricky for me this year! Those little things that look like rice are new babies. Millipedes are very important for soil development and this species is quite docile and fun to watch!

This is one pretty girl! She is a Mexican red knee tarantula (Brachypelma hamari or smithi). Spiders are very pretty and play an important role in the environment by eating lots of pests. This girl has been with me for 20 years!

Does this tub make me look fat? This is Jabba, an African bullfrog, one of the largest frog species out for a cleaning! For scale the plastic tub is over 12 inches long! He’s a big boy! Don’t worry, Jabba. Your enclosure is nice and clean!

This is a really special blue-tongued skink. Called a Kei Island skink, they’re no longer as common and not often bred in captivity. I think she’s pretty and I have a boyfriend for her! We’ll see next year!😀
