Pierogi was recently moved into his forever (well, maybe) 6x2x2 enclosure. He was previously up on a stand and now it sits on the floor. Apparently now he’s a big boy with no rules. 😂 This is my night every night. (I love it.)

Dexter said “Feeling cute, can I bite you later?” My little demo… I mean, angel, Dexter will be 1 in August. When he’s out of his terrarium he’s super sweet. When I’m getting him OUT of the terrarium, I’m getting a welcome snap no matter what. Not a bite just a quick snap and then he’s fine. I’m working with him. I think I messed up by tong feeding him bugs for a while and now he thinks it’s always tongs. I stopped doing that now, so I hope he’ll catch on. Or he may always give me a welcome bite. 🤔 His name is Dexter because I’m pretty sure he would off me if he could. 😂 but I adore him!

Hey all. Please don’t give me the ol’ Reddit rip-a-part if I’m wrong because I haven’t USED this method or left it like this for my skink. I just got a 6x2x2 and the dome over the mesh is not doing it at all. I see some people mount their lights inside the enclosure and I was able to hook my dome light to the support bar like this. It’s on a dimming thermostat and I have a heat gun to measure everything below. Also digital thermostats in multiple areas. You can’t really tell in the picture, but it is much further forward than those climbing items and I truly don’t think that he would or could touch it but of course I can’t be sure. Is this OK or should I really just get another dome and put it back on the mesh and try to heat it up through the mesh with way more lights? Thanks.

Hi all. My Axolotl Orbit is 18 months old and I’m 97% sure she’s a female. Lately her mid section has been bigger than usual. The rest of her body isn’t bloated. Just her tummy and she isn’t pooping as often. She gets 1 large night crawler every 3 days right now. I read that females can get eggs at this age and she could be chubby from those. She’s in a 20 gallon long with a HOB, sponge filter and bubbler, temp 62, Ammonia- 0 nitrite-0 nitrate -10 PH- 7.3. She’s my first axolotl so I could be a little paranoid and worried. Also, she’s not floating in this pic. She likes to hook her foot on the plant and just chill like this at times. She swims and walks the bottom perfectly fine. Thank you!

Hi all. This is my baby, Shroom. He’s a year old in August and weighs 38g. I got him when he was 12g, put him in a 12x12x18 and quickly learned he was not happy at all. I put him in a 6 qt shoebox tub until 30 g and he’s been doing wonderfully. Over the last few weeks I’ve tried the 12x12x18 again and a 15qt tub to make him more comfortable. He is not having it. But when I put him back in the 6qt he is back to his usual eating-crazed self. Some may say that I just need to leave him in the larger and he’ll adjust. Not seeing him touch food for a week at a time when he’s normally eating like crazy is just too much. What would you do? When do I try again? I know I see many people on here say their babies did great immediately but that is very obviously not Shroom. TIA.

Hard to get his colors inside so I took him on the deck for a minute in the sunshine ☀️ I love this boy. 🩷

I’ve had my corn snake Reign for about a month. He has just now started chilling out in the open. Last night was feeding night and he was looking at me like I was late. lol I love him. He’s been such a blessing to me after my first corn snake escape due his idiot owner underestimating a gap. (It’s me.. I’m the idiot.) it’s been 3 months and I still look and set traps. :( but Reign brings me so much joy. 🩷

The results of Pierogi’s shed test came back on *his* first birthday! Not a breeder but it’s fun to know. It’s a boy! 😂 💙
