My First Leopard Gecko Hatched

Here is my First Hatchling of the season. Ain't she a beaut'.

Breeding is a go!

I am getting ready to pair my snakes up. I got the heat back on. Feeding will resume very soon and then it down to business. I bought a web cam so that (hopefully) I can share the hatching experience with everyone. Stay tuned.

Books about Reptiles Designed for Young Readers

I can personally recommend the following titles for your children (and yourself). Well written and easy to understand. My son (8 yrs) tore right through these. I enjoyed reading them as well.

Week number 2 using Excavator

So far so good using this new Product from Zoo Med. One of the problems with using plain sand is IMPACTION. Which if left untreated will lead to death. Elvis has been eliminating on a regular basis. He is also enjoyng the digging in the loose stuff. Just a note a 10 pound bag doesn't go very far.

Elvis is in the Castle

Here is our Bearded Drgon Born (hatched) on April 30, 2007. He is the runt his brothers and sisters are twice the size of him. We had to remove him from the others a few months ago when (Godzilla) his brother tried to eat him. Elvis survived because I saw it happen (as well as everyone else in our 4H club).

We put him in a 20 gal long cage and are trying out a new product called "Excavator" made by Zoo Med. I like it so far. It seems to replicate it's natural enviorment (Hard Pan) which is hard compressed sand. Poop seems easy to clean up,. Just let it dry up a little first. Some of the clay crumbles up and the superworms we feed him crawl into the loose clay. This allows Elvis to sharpen his hunting skills. He digs for the worms.

Sweet Tara Eggs pipping

Another small clutch hatched this week. This is from my Sweet Tara x Charles clutch. Charles is a Jungle Carpet Python a Sweet Tara is a Diamond/Jungle Carpet Python. I love this picture with it little baby snake tongue sticking out.

Doga and his Baby Bearded Dragons
