Life with 26 reptiles -img fat-

I thought it would be fun to have a thread chronically my life with my 21 guys. It will be mostly pictures but also with lots of writing. I thought I would start out with introducing everyone.

We will start with Tír na nÓg, my sweet beautiful Beardie. Who became officially mine today (1/7/12). She was a surrender to the shelter I work at and I am so very glad she has joined the 'zoo'.

Sasha is a very sweet, lovely girl. She is a 3-toed box turtle who I got from a friend who didn't want her anymore.

Scully my girl. I've had her for almost 3 years. She is a Leopard Gecko. My friend bred her.

Neville, is super handsome. Just look at that red? I got him at a reptile expo this summer.

Puzzle is another girl from the reptile expo. She fires up super great, but doesn't have the best crests.

I also have 4 Mourning Geckos. JJ, Elle, Penelope and Emily. They are such a fun all female species to work with.

Oz, I got from Bertopia Geckos this summer. He is such a handsome fellow.

Trinity is from Crown Jewel Reptiles. She fires up a beautiful mocha color and is crowned.

Zoom is paired with Trinity for the 2012 season and I am super excited to see what they produce.

Mango is from Altitude Exotics. She is a beautiful lady. Love her creamyness!

River Song. Unsexed at this point. Beautiful tiger flame!

Dragon. I am hopeful this guy will be a super dal like his father.

Anya, my second Crestie! I love this girl!

Fox is a handsome man! His tail is bright orange!

Hades is my loan Banded Gecko. I hope to him a female at some point!

Velvet, was my first Crested Gecko. She is what made my obsession so strong.

Buffy, Female Tokay Gecko.

Smeagol, male Tokay Gecko.

I will also be getting a male R. Sara soon. We are just waiting for the temps to get warmer! Super excited to get this boy!

Breeding Season 2012:
Fox x Scully
Anya x Neville
Zoom x Trinity
Smeagol x Buffy
Mourning Geckos

Hoping to add a female R. Sara and a few more Cresties!


In addition to all the reptiles. I have a large Dubia colony and 2 dogs.

Awesome expo pictures! The last picture from the expo, what type of lizards are those babies? Is that a new type of beardie morph?

Here are a few more pictures of Isabelle! I have soaked her and stuff but it does not see to be helping. Any other tips?

Pompeii:

And then I work inside a Petsmart some days. We have a satellite location for our shelter. Well, they had Gargs, so I asked where they got their them from and she said Sand Fire. Well, then she said that they actually got this guy from another Petsmart. They had no luck finding him a home. So I went and held him and fell in love!

A few silly photos of the Cresties:

I was wondering... what do Crestie's eat? They don't look like they'd be fast enough to catch crickets, just my thought. Lol. So what do you feed them?

They mainly eat this! But, they are certainly fast enough to eating crickets and they do!

 

[PumpkinJelly]

Wow that's cool! I want a crestie now! They really eat just that pre made food? That's awesome! Do you just put it in a little dish and they're set on food for the day? The only reason I doubted the fact of them eating crickets is that they look so fragile and leathery and slow. They're really cool reptiles. Maybe one day I'll look into getting one!

 

[Tirnanog]

They are a lot faster then the Beardies! Just mix it up every other day and put it in with them when you go to bed! They are great pets! They are SO SOFT!

Very true! lol I am banned for a few months. xD :roll: We will see how that works!

 

[PumpkinJelly]

May I ask, how many tanks do you have? LOL!

 

[Tirnanog]

May I ask, how many tanks do you have? LOL!

I have 21 tanks. Not including the hatchling tanks.

 

[PumpkinJelly]

:shock: You, my friend, are a hardcore gecko keeper. You gave enough geckos to form an army! I sure hope they all love you (which I am sure they do) or else they could rebel! LOL. How do you have enough room for all of those tanks?!

I am aware! I make room, move stuff around use my book shelves, etc! I will post pictures of all my set-ups tomorrow for you to see!
