New Additions for October 2015

We recently added a few new critters to the menagerie here at ME! The first is a rather large lizard – a Columbian Gold Tegu (Tupinambis teguixin). He’s about three years old, has been with me for two weeks, and has so far been incredibly sweet, if a bit shy. I have always wanted to New Additions for October 2015

First Photos of 2015

Hello all. I know I’ve been quiet for a while, but I’m back today with a few new photos of the babies still living here at ME. I’ll also add the old Halloween photos that didn’t get posted.

RIP Snoopy

Sadly, a week ago we had to say goodbye to Snoopy, ME’s canine-assistant and my best friend. Snoopy has always been a part of my life with reptiles.

I now have comparative photos of all the remaining babies 🙂 I’ll be working this evening/tonight on updating the website, then sending out e-mails to those who’ve inquired.

A Familiar Face

I recently picked up one of my 2012 babies from a customer who’s downsizing their collection. The skink’s baby name was Fyre; he was from a Fluke x Wasp litter. I figured I’d snap a few pictures to show what a pretty lad he’s grown to be 🙂 This is Fyre as a baby (3 A Familiar Face

Evita x Wasp Babies Have Names

Naturally, because I wanted to do ID pictures today, yesterday the babies started going into shed. I think this happens every year… Regardless, I did give all the babies their official IDs, and took several pictures of each. Twelve of the babies are now considered available (Wade, the runt, is not). I’ll start e-mailing those Evita x Wasp Babies Have Names
