I like reptiles, amphibians, and invertebrates. I keep a few and also enjoy getting outside to observe them in the wild.

Hi, I'm Scott. I like reptiles, and I'm here because I want to be part of a statistic to piss off Elon Musk. Anyway, here is a Honduran milk snake of mine!

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. 🦕 🦖

The look of defeat (and de feet) as a common snapping turtle (Chelydra serpentina) accepts the fact that it has been picked up. 🐢

Well, that's one way to start your workday.

(Continued) once her exoskeleton hardens, she will build a new burrow that I will NOT disturb next time! The general rule is to NEVER dig up a burrowing spider unless the enclosure smells bad, and I will be sure to continue to live by that rule going forward!

(Continued) I also covered the enclosure with a towel to minimize stress. Whether or not the humidity spike and darkness was needed is debatable, but she molted just fine, as you can see. Her molt is on the left, and she is scrunched up and recovering on the right. (Continied below)

Losing hairs and lethargy are common signs that a molt is incoming. I wouldn't want to be very active if my clothes were overly tight, either! To help with the process, I simulated heavy rains by flooding the enclosure and occasionally misting (these seem to trigger molts...continued below)
