Hi all, I don't have a Quaker in my life yet, but I do have these guys to share with you!
This awesome little dinosaur is Chili. She is a Saharan uromastyx.
Her endearing yet grumpy face is absolutely the best!
She has her own Instagram account where she poses with mini props. Her username is @chili.the.uromastyx if you're interested.
This beautiful boy is Marshall, my yellowbelly ball python. He's got such a cute personality.
He quite possibly has he most adorable cheeks.
This spectacular specimen is Dexter. He's actually my sisters snake, but he's been in my care for several months now. He is a diamond python.
He is a rarer species to see in the reptile hobby, and I quickly realized why. There is little information about the care requirements for these snakes, and he is also much more sensitive to his environment than my ball python. He's currently having troubles with his skin, and therefore won't eat. I'm working on him, but when a snakes skin goes down it takes time to get it back to health.
This is Fred, one of two African dwarf frogs. He's had quite the life so far! He originally came to me with another frog, Wilma. She recently passed due to a condition called Dropsy. Before her death, they successfully mated and produced a clutch of eggs. The eggs didn't make it past the first few weeks of tadpole hood, but it was a great experience.
Here is a collage I put together to show the tadpole experience.
This cute little guy is Barney, Fred's new buddy. Him and Fred haven't really hit it off... But they'll figure it out.
Last summer when I was camping, I found four tadpoles swimming around in a pond. Like the crazy frog lover I am, I took them home with me to raise them.
This tadpole is absorbing his tail.
A healthy froglet:) I loved these frogs. I raised them from tadpoles and fed them fruit flies until they were big enough for crickets. Unfortunately, a couple months ago they all died within a matter of hours, turning blue and shriveling up. I was devastated. Hopefully this summer I will find some more tads:)
This is the adorable Sally, 1 of 7 whites tree frogs! She was one of my first. She acts shy, but then goes nuts trying to eat my finger or jumping psychotically onto her surroundings. Either way, I love her.
This is Betty. I bought her with Sally, and she's no doubt my most characteristic frog! She's quite friendly too, unless she thinks your finger is a worm(which happens often).
This is Oliver, one of my blue eyed whites. Unfortunately, he came to me with a disease called red leg. While treatable, this condition is not curable. He's still with me and continues to croak at the ice machine, but he struggles a lot. I've tried everything to "fix" him, but to no avail. He has also been constipated for months now, I can only assume it's because his body is shutting down. It's amazing he's made it this far, but I don't want him to keep suffering. I'm still contemplating what I can and should do for him.
This big girl is Lily. She is my biggest and grumpiest frog! Touch her and she lets out grumbly irritated croaks:) I try to leave her alone, mostly because she floods me with her pee every time I hold her!
These young brothers are Darwin(top) and Charlie(bottom). They are still quite young, but have recently begun practicing their croaking:)
This is my shy guy, Otis. Him and Oliver are related but from different sources. He is a healthy and nutty young frog.
Finally, this is my newest addition, Gus the veiled chameleon. He came to me about 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately he was being kept in incorrect conditions and as a result has a mild form of metabolic bone disorder(mbd). This means he didn't get enough calcium, so he falls often and has trouble gripping branches. With ladders, branches, vines and an extra calcium boost, he's doing quite well. He's quite huffy and loves his cage, just like a chameleon should!
Hope you guys enjoy all my reptiles!!
