I like reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. I keep a few and also enjoy getting outside to observe them in the wild.
If you're a Jurassic Park fan, as well as a fan kf very crude humor, I strongly recommend The Invisible Raptor. Yup, it's about an Invisible Velociraptor, and yes, it is incredibly ridiculous. 🦕 🦖

Lifer plain-belly water snake (Nerodia erythrogaster) basking in a swamp. Water snakes are severely misunderstood animals. Their defensive behaviors are often misinterpreted as aggressive. Such behaviors can be avoided by simply not picking snakes up. 🐍

Raisin was given to me on Dec 5th. Bet saw him on Dec 13th. He was rehydratedfor a week prior to the appointment. By the time he got to the vet, he was either 94 or 96 g. This weekend, he shed his skin for a 2nd time, and I decided to weigh him. He has gained 48-50 g in 3 months and 4 days. 🐍

And just like that, Grape has shed. We need to tweak his humidity, but this will be much easier to do since his quarantine is over 😁

Grape is in another shed cycle. Second time in less than two months (the black speck is NOT a mite).
Him and Raisin are in a building far from my main group. In a few more weeks, they will come home. Barring no setbacks.

Raisin has now eaten 3 meals (2 unassisted) and Grape (formerly Luigi) has upgraded to small rats! Raisin is looking better with each meal!

RAISON HAS SHED HIS SKIN
Day 1 (Dec 5) vs Day 13 (today)
If you look closely at the older picture, you can see raised scales, a possible mite, and a stuck eyecap. He is still very underweight but continues to make progress. He also pooped, and that will be dropped off at the vet for testing 🐍

Raisin, the smaller python, had to be assist fed tonight. He spat up the mouse initially, but I tucked it back in his mouth and he eventually ate on his own.
He is under 100 grams and preparing to shed. The vet I see thinks he has a chance at recovery, but we have a big hill to climb. 🐍

The smaller ball python did not look in good shape last night, but was behaving normally regardless. After a two hour soak, and adding a humid hide to the enclosure, he looks better again (after this pic was taken). I'm not losing hope. Hopefully we will have answers from the vet on Thursday 🐍

This snake drank water for 30 minutes straight on Friday, December 6. All the mites have been vanquished.
Today, December 8th, he ate. This smaller one refused, but we will see if it eats overnight.
