Little busy...

We have to apologize for the delay in updating both weights/photos/and the available page. We had our annual camping trip for a good portion of the week/weekend, only to get a phone call [right before we got to SEWERfest on the way home from camping] saying there were bad storms the night before and the hedgehog's cage was blown across the room and the container with the eggs (which were set to hatch so the pair were taking out of the incubator box) was on the floor. Hedgehog was no wheres to be found, geckos were no where to be found. One egg had clearly hatched, and the other was completely missing. Oatie was found not far from his cage, unharmed. After tearing apart the rest of the room, only one of the geckos was found, tailless, but okay. His name is Houdini :) Still have no idea where the other egg went, whether the cat or hedgehog ate it or what.

Anyhow... our first Goliath x Bagheera egg hatched earlier this week... but unfortunately, was the very first of our hatchlings not to make it, passed away two days later. He did incubate for 70 days but it just wasn't long enough for him. :(

New pairing: Raja & Timon!! Both are of weight and are getting along great... two orange pinstripe geckos, sounds good right?

Goliath & Bagheera have been separated, Goliath has only been focusing on Bagheera and not his food so it was time for a TIMEOUT. Brooklyn will soon be ready for Goliath so we hope he gets to eating like a pig.

It looks like Gambit laid her first infertile egg... meaning we may need a BRIGHT yellow patternless male soon. :)

If you have been following our available page, here's the lineup that will soon show up on it:
Doc, Uno, Littlefoot, Pebbles, Ren, Stimpy, Lilo and Stitch.

We've had several people ask about Chevy, and unfortunately, s/he will be held back and we don't have intentions of selling Chevy at this time. Flotsam & Jetsam will eventually be for sale, but we are watching their colors develop.

I (Teresa) have gone back to working part-time-ish and grad class has started again so it's getting hard to update often. School [work!] will be starting in a few weeks as well, but Ryan will soon be doing updating as well. If you have any questions, please feel free to comment or send us an email at
