This evening we were locked out of the parking lot, so we were quite grateful it wasn't raining!

baby turtles baby cornsnakes
The first animals I saw were two darling baby turtles in a big turtle bowl. Remember the smell of turtles? It was there! :))) The baby with the yellow marks is a Florida Box turtle, and the other is an Eastern Box Turtle. It was so young it still had its egg tooth, which of course I could not photograph. :( We also had some darling baby cornsnakes - Scott and Teri's latest.
young herper littlest herper
Here is the next generation of herpers! And our youngest herper's first meeting. :)
Gioni Brooks cross redtail boa
Scott's Goini Brooks cross. He says it's getting lighter as it matures, and his other one is getting darker. Very beautiful. What a fine RedTail Boa! :)
desert kingsnake frogs
Before I discovered how dim the room was this evening I took a picture of this Desert King - an escape artist who was accidentally discovered resting in the chest of drawers next to his cage after days of futile searching. Waxy Tree Frogs can be kept in drier conditions than other frogs, as their skin has a sort of waxy coating. They did not try to jump out of their cage which surprised me. Maybe they thought they were invisible in their greenery. :)
Cay Caulker boa boa
Chris's boas are very handsome. This is a Cay Caulker Dwarf Boa - it looks like a baby snake but it's 7 months old! Also deep in shed. Another of Chris's boas.
boa Argentine boa
One more. This beautiful Argentine was supposed to be a female, but when we looked more closely at the tail, it appears to be male. Look at that lovely pattern and color!
cornsnake cornsnake on the move
Here is Teri's cornsnake - it was hard to get the picture, the snake kept zipping around! Most of the pictures looked like this one! :)))
white lipped python
Saqqara, the White Lipped Python, had just shed and was glowing irridescent colors. The purple background certainly was a great foil. :)
