I'm dumping dirt out of enclosures in advance of a big move and this little rascal slithered into the tub I was using for dirt. Drusilla says hello from HER tub 💅🐍 #elapheschrenckii
A blue plastic tub with dirt inside and in the corner a little snake head can be seen poking out. She is black with cream coloured stripes on her chin and neck. Her little black tongue is sticking out

67 snakes in total are now safely at Spirit Keeper Animal Sanctuary. Vet visits begin today!! Please donate if you're able to, or like and share to help this get some traction. Most of the snakes are in very rough shape :(

Bsky fam, we need help! An amazing group of volunteers has been working closely with Spirit Keeper Animal Sanctuary to save ~70 ball pythons 🐍 from a neglect situation. We are in serious need of help covering vet bills bc every snake needs vet care

Lots of ways to donate, all will be in the thread

Sad day today... one of the White's Tree Frogs that has been boarded with me is crossing the rainbow bridge. He developed lipidosis in his eyes with keratitis and has been in progressive decline for several months now.

*chanting* MILLIPEDES, MILLIPEDES, MILLIPEDES!!!

My new pet millipedes arrived today and I'm so stoked. They're North American Giants. I'm hoping to add a few more species to the fam here soon as well
A plastic tub full of moss and leaves. In the middle a little black millipede with pinkish red banding can be seen curled up in some of the moss

Little Flauta had his first meal since coming out of brumation today!!! I sure missed him. He was down for 6 months 😴

A leopard gecko is sitting on a small log. He is yellow with black leopard print spots. His eyes are brown with a black slit. He is licking his lips, with a little pink tongue poking out. In the background is another small log, in front of the gecko there is slate rock, and in the foreground are some fake foliage.

Well the dang latch on baby Dirt's exoterra enclosure broke and he made a run for it. Found the little rascal under the bed and he was PISSED that I didn't leave him there

Tanimbar locales are known to be spicy and this little guy won't let me forget it 😅🤣 #bluetongueskink #tanimbar 🦎
A small cream and brown striped lizard is inside a plastic tub. His mouth is wide open, exposing a very blue tongue. He's standing tall on his stubby front legs. This skink wants a fight A cream and brown striped blue tongue skink is inside a plastic tote. His mouth is wide open showing off his blue tongue. He's big mad

Hey bsky fam! I know you love adorable lizards... but what about adorable snakes?! This is Lily, for your consideration 😋🐍 #cornsnake
A mostly white snake is looking off into the distance. She has some yellow and pink blushing along her sides, and red eyes. In the background you can see lots of spider plants and environmental clutter.

Little Charlie is finally shedding out. He arrived here 2 weeks ago and was dull then in pre-shed. It doesn't normally take adult skinks this long to shed but the poor fella is underweight and undernourished so it took a bit longer. He's eating like a champ tho so should be fixed up in no time 🥰🦎
A black and white small blue tongue skink on soil and leaves. His top half is all clear but his bottom half has old skin peeling off.

Y'all I'm having a tough time engaging on here because I'm not coping well with the horrors of the world.

I have a ton of words muted but my feed is still 75%+ content about the US right now, and rightfully since things are awful right now, but I can't read about it all day every day and feel okay

I saw so many alligators today 🤩🐊🦎

I'll post more pics in the next few days but had a great time at the St Augustine Alligator Farm! Sooooooo many gators
A large rock sticks out of the water in the middle of a pond. On it are at least 15 different american alligators laying in the sun. There are also a few swimming in the foreground, and more off in the distance on a beach in the background

An anerythristic Halmahera blue tongue skink is sitting in some leaves and looking at the camera. Her scales are shiny in the light above her, and fake plants can be seen in the foreground and background

I have a big ask. My 9yo son is autistic and he’s been raising a betta fish he named Kevin. Yesterday He asked if he could “share a photo of Kevin with the whole world“. I don’t know if this will work, but a dad’s gotta try. Like and share if that’s your thing. Kevin says hi! 🐟👋

I'm visiting family in Daytona and visited this lovely aquarium today that had lots of reptiles and amphibians. The enclosures were all beautiful, complex, and more than adequately sized, which was very refreshing to see. Here's a few pics of some of the lil sweethearts I saw!
Sailfin lizard resting on a large branch Really big water monitor on a large branch Cane toad looking very grumpy and very bumpy Panther chameleon in a very green habitat. He's camouflaged very well among the leaves on the branches

Enjoy a photo of my boa imperator looking like she's tanning her cloaca (cloaca is a snake butthole lol)
A long snake tail with a yellow base and brown/black loosely triangular markings along it is resting on a big round cork bark under some heat lamps. The tail is lifted up so the butt is facing the heat lamps

This is Russet! He's a Tanimbar locality Blue Tongue Skink and this is the best photo I've ever gotten of him because he usually bolts. Joined the fam late last year and is still settling in but finally starting to chill out a tiny bit!! He's my smallest adult skink #tiliquascincoideschimaera
Foreground is some fake plants with green leaves and a little bit of real spider plant and poking out. Behind the plants, a long cork bark with a small blue tongue skink laying on top. His body is striped with dark and light browns, with a somewhat yellow chin. He's laying lengthwide across the log and squinting a little at the camera.

A black snake curled up in a tall black plastic plant pot. He's a little reflective in the light and has some light brown stripe-like markings along his body. In the background there are lots of oak leaves and bark

I left Twitter when that goober took over and haven't been on any similar platforms since, so excuse me while I find my footing and also maybe reshare a million posts like I'm 15 on tumblr on again
