New Critters

The reptile show came to Richmond again yesterday. It gets smaller and smaller as the years go by. Unfortunately, I think the interest in reptiles in general is depleting. My interest in reptiles had gone pretty much to nothing until recently. I was afraid to own animals again but, not so much anymore. I have three crested geckos, one ball python, and one tree frog as far as reptiles goes.

My boyfriend and I named the new ball python Pharoh. He is a hypo blonde pastel which means he is really golden/yellow, faded into white.

He is a very beautiful snake and you can see his light color in the sun. We set him up in a nice cage that I bought. He seems very content with the cage. He is currently about 2 1/2 feet long. He should get about 3-4 feet so not too much bigger, but probably a little fatter.

I don't have any photos of the crested geckos at the moment. They are easily stressed after a reptile show and for the sake of them keeping their tails on, I have decided to wait until tonight to take photos. But, here's a photo of all my reptiles setups. Mark, my talented love of mine, made a divider for the crested gecko cage! Cresteds don't require a TON of room so it worked out perfect. The juveniles have a slightly smaller side and the adult has a pretty good 8-9 gallon side. I plan on breeding the adult soon so I have to find her a mate. I didn't find any adult males at the reptile show that I liked.

Until next post!
