I have wanted to get into fospice since the first time I realized that such a thing existed. My husband at the time didn't want me to...he didn't want his heart broken. A few weeks ago he told me he wanted us to go our separate ways, and one of the first things I did was start researching...

I have a 2008 Eastern Indigo snake, Grendel. Due to an impending divorce, I am extremely broke and extremely busy, and I just don't have time or money to take proper care of all of my critters anymore. Grendel is over 6' long and very friendly, though I do use a hook to pick him up initially...

My brother's birthday is on Monday. Normally I am dead-set against getting pets as gifts, but he has been talking about getting a corn snake for a long time, and recently he mentioned being almost ready to go out and get one and I asked him to wait until after his birthday. He said color...

I spent an hour yesterday scrubbing Grendel's cage, and replacing the cypress mulch I had been keeping him on with aspen. It was too hard to see poop in the cypress, and though I spot-clean frequently, it still tended to get really stinky in there because I would miss spots. Hopefully the...

I thought it might be nice if Flower had a progression thread. Shiari came by today and pointed out to me that Flower is actually male, but I'm keeping his name. She was also kind enough to bring over a black marble tile and take some better pictures! Here are my two favorites from the day I...

This is Flower. She's a peppermint from Carol. She's 50% ph stargazer so not a breeding snake, but a very beautiful pet! She's also very docile! "Oh, well, hello you!" "What is this fuzzy stuff?" "Maybe the white wall will show off my color better?" "Here's my best smile!" I also...

It's that time of year...when kittens are EVERYWHERE. As cute as it sounds, those of us in rescue know that it's also a time of exhaustion, stress, TONS of work, mess, and heartbreak. My first batch of foster kittens was adopted last week, and I just picked up this fellow two days ago. He's...

My aunt and uncle have had Snakey since he was a wee little thing, around 16 years now. Last week a strange lump popped up on his tail. This lump tuned out to be a tumor, so Snakey had surgery yesterday to remove it. Unfortunately, getting a snake to open his mouth for antibiotics...

I got Worm as a gift from Bob Brown here, and she was a teeeeeeeny little thing from the start. I think he told me she was 3g when she hatched? Anyways, she's a pig and a brat and she's making up for her small start by growing now! Today it was nice and overcast so I took her out for a few...

With great reluctance, I am putting my Indigo boy up for sale. He's a 2008 Eastern Indigo originally from Robert Bruce. He is around 6' long and GORGEOUS, plus he eats like a pig...anything I throw at him. Mice, rats, fish, chicks, whatever! He's in blue in this photo, but you get the idea...

A friend of Megan's came by a few weeks ago to take photos of Grendel for me. Naturally, he was DEEP in blue when she arrived, but she made the best of it and got some stunning photos! I tried to pick my favorites to post, but I just couldn't, so here's a TON of pics. I saved the best for...

Megan and I carved pumpkins tonight. Mine are the two relatively simple ones, hers is...well...you can see. Jack Skellington's mouth was a team effort though. I got sick of it so Megan helped me out. :) Megan used her avatar picture for this. Vanay looks so nice! I love my Cannibal...

I promised Christen that I'd get some photos of the baby butter she was kind enough to gift to me. Once she had been photographed, I decided to snap some pics of some of the others too! Poppy is my most laid-back baby. She eats like a pig, and handles very easily. Worm put several holes in...

My champagne gal has a problem that for a long time I htought was regurges. She "regurges" any time I try to get her up to the next size prey. At over a year old, she's about 33g and still eating pinkies. Anytime I try to get her something bigger, I find it almost complete back in the cage a...

I was spot-cleaning and feeding tonight when I noticed BUGS in my hognose's tub. I examined all of the other tubs/tanks and found the same bugs in with my coral snow. These were the only two snakes who were on Kaytee aspen, which is the only thing I could think of that they have in common...

Last week a customer brought a CUTE little kitten into my store. She told me that she has been slowly trapping and neutering the ferals in her neighborhood and had decided to keep this little kitten for herself. Then she added that there was another kitten she had been unable to catch, and he...

This morning I looked in Rango's tank and realized that while it was perfectly functional, it was boring. She was getting too big for her caves to be comforatable anymore, and the whole thing was just kind of blah. So off I went to get new flooring and new caves for her to hide in. I...

I know we have some really talented folks here, and I want to see your work! Here are a few things I've done... Mixed media collage: My dog's toy box: Deck of cards I collaged for my hubby: Polymer clay drawer pull - I LOVE this one: Snowflakes from old toilet paper rolls - I spray...

I was out walking with my sister this morning down a creek trail by her place. We turned a sharp corner, and this little gal was in the middle of the trail catching some sunshine! I picked her up and she musked me, but didn't bite and settled down after a minute of handling. I moved her...

My aunt emailed me for some help with her corn snake and I'm not sure what to tell her. Snakey is in the 12-15 year old range and he has never refused food before. He's been fed live (I know, I know...) for his entire life. Here's the email I recieved: I need some snake advice. Snakey has...
