It begins. Jörmy is going to get a tank upgrade. Because he is going to get his brother’s tank. And his brother Lucius is getting a PALACE curtesy of toad ranch and their amazing habitats!
This has already taken a month of work. Future progress pictures will come.
Ozzy removes old skin in a manner oddly similar to person washing their back. Part of me wonders if this thing turns into a person when I’m not looking and goes on adventures.
MY GIRL UMHA finally in her much needed upgrade! That’s how her inclosure started, had to take the sedum out bc aphids hatched out on it :( I’ll need to root it in treated soil and give it a month or two.
+ Ulu who got upgraded too.
I’m currently visiting my bf in Florida for two weeks while we’re both on winter break and he’s just as crazy about animals as I am so here’s all of his pets.
1. The fish tanks
He has two fish tanks: a larger personal tank that he keeps at home and contains neon tetras, panda corydoras (that I couldn’t find because they like to hide in the plants), cherry shrimp, and ghost shrimp. Then there’s his smaller tank that he usually keeps at his dorm which also has some shrimp, some limpets, and bladder snails, but also has some rummy-nosed tetras and three African dwarf frogs named Fufu, Fumbwa, and Frank Sinatra. However, since that tank doesn’t have a lid and he didn’t want the cats messing with the fish and frogs he moved them to his larger tank over for over break.
2. Ganüsh the White’s tree frog
He usually likes to hide so it’s hard to get pics of him.
3. Bocaj the Chahoua gecko
His name is literally my name backwards because when he was a baby he hated me and would always bite me and no one else but now we’re friends and he lets me hold him sometimes.
4. Keshet the Brazilian rainbow boa
She’s absolutely stunning and I wish I could get a full body shot but this was taken right before she was fed and now that she’s eaten I don’t want to disturb her while she’s digesting. She’s still a baby but she’s grown a lot since he first got her. She also has a hidden Mickey on her but I don’t think you can see it in this pic.
Those are all of his pets though his parents also have two dogs and two cats. The cats are named Winter and Priscilla and I love them despite being allergic to them. The dogs are both white golden retrievers named Willow and Aspen. Willow is a gremlin and she scratched my foot but Aspen is a nice old man so we’re chill.
So today when I went to give him good meal, he actually didn’t dive under the big rock in his enclosure! He was nervous, went to a corner, but I’m happy he stayed in the open.
I took a picture of him out basking before I opened because I thought he would hide.
But surprisingly enough, I got two pictures after closing it back up because he stayed out!
Those colors are slowly coming in!
If you are curious about the meal he got this time: escarole lettuce, a dandelion bloom, a little sample of green leaf lettuce, a couple pieces of squash, and an always available bowl of bird seed that is 90% millet and sprinkled with super veggie supplement. With his escarole staple he regularly gets samplings of other types of lettuce and a couple varieties of squash, dandelion blooms or bits of wild plantain, sometimes sprouted lentils, and some veggie treats I got at the pet store. Gotta spoil my boy!
When I got him he was barely the length of my thumb and now he’s the full length of my hand. Love this little guy. Working on cleaning and rearranging his enclosure a bit tomorrow.
You can get this as a print if you are a crestie adorer like me ;u;/
I originally made this as an icon for myself, but now I plan to make more like this and turn them into a series. I hope you like my tingy boy!
