Hours later, one of the wandering dudes broke, and he pushed a huge amount of dirt out of the little cave.
Photo of a bioactive Western hognose enclosure. The photo is focused on the ridiculous amount of dirt that has been piled in front of the warm hide by the snake.

Photo of my younger hognose 🐍 it's crazy how much slower of a grower she is compared to my older hoggie.
She's so sweet and inquisitive!

Updated Valtr's enclosure a bit and added some plants! We'll see how they do. 🐍
Photo of a bioactive reptile enclosure for a hognose snake. There's various cork bark about, with leaves and clippings of pothos, wandering dude, and spider plants. A chopstick is sticking out of the dirt on the left because I forgot to take that out I was using it to make holes for the plants lol. Photo of a normal western hognose on the warm side of the same enclosure. He is baffled at what I did to his house lol.

Such a cool find on the walk - thank god I was looking down so I didn't step on this fabulous lady! Pretty sure it's a marbled orbweaver, commonly called a pumpkin spider which is very appropriate. Such beautiful colors and she was so big!
There were also so many woodpeckers flying around!

Photo of what looks like little turkey-tail mushrooms and another type of mushroom (I'm so bad at ID'ing them) on the a fallen tree with some moss scattered around. Leaves are in the background. You guessed it - some more mushrooms on a tree! Moss scattered around, a lot of little mushrooms in the frame with leaves in the back. Photo of the path in the wood preserve. Taken midday - tree in the middle and two flanking either side. More trees in the back, and the ground is covered in fallen autumn leaves.

Stopped at the thrift store the other day and found some fun bird books for cheap ✌️
The birding one is really fun it has these charming illustrations in it ☺️
Photo of two bird books, one being the birds of Pennsylvania field guide, and one being "A Guide to Birding". They are on a coffee table with a Halloween runner on it. A photo of a spread from the Birding book, the right page showing facts about the Northern Mockingbird with an illustration of it attacking a cat, and on the left a page for the American Robin with an illustration on the bottom showing an adult feeding worms to it's young. Another photo from the Birding book, this one featuring the Belted Kingfisher, with a fun set of illustrations showing it diving into the water for a fish.

One of my favorite places near us to go to is the canal - can always guarantee to see turtles and herons there, amongst other critters 💜
