Unfortunately it looks like I will need to downsize some of my ball pythons. I’ll have a couple hatchling/juvenile racks with heat. A female juvenile super pinstripe, adult female, and probably a few more. Pm if interested. I’ll get a list and pics together later.

A little bribery with some new sugar gliders! Such sweeties. Boy do they love their treats!! Last night I tried a different treat and several were not impressed. They wanted their regular little nuggets. Sugar gliders (and most animals) can not have chocolate. One white chocolate chip per glider on the other hand is ok. But be strong!!! Resist the begging eyes for “just one more” chip…. I know your stronger than I am!! 😂
If your interested in a glider feel free to reach out. I hope I’m not mistaken but I think I see a small bulge in one of my girls pouches!!!!

So I realized it’s been awhile since I’ve posted…. But here’s a cute little sugar glider to make up for it!

An update on the squirrels! They are definitely growing and always happy for food time. It’s fun watching the tails fur up!

A sad day today and another reminder breeding isn’t always fun and games.
I found out my ac for my snakes failed today and I ended up loosing 4 of my ball pythons. 3 females that were almost breeding size, and one of my males. My very first ball python was included in the ones I lost. The heat tape had been turned off because it’s been so warm, but that still wasn’t enough without ac. This is a very frustrating set back for my breeding plans. Pray that the weather isn’t too hot until then.
*Picture of my current litter of week old Rotty pups while I scramble to get better ac set up so I don’t loose any more of my beautiful snakes.

Now available! A female ringtail mosaic sugar glider! She’s only a few weeks old now, so there’s still time before she can go to her new home.

I’m extremely excited about this little one!! Look at the blue on it! Hopefully it’s a she, but she’s been growing like crazy. 1 of 4 of my diamondback terrapins.
