Tom the Con-Man and the Flock!

[LaManuka]

Tony says Please get me down mama!

Look at this handsome fella! He’s lost almost all his blue. His tail is shredded a bit, but healing.

That wood might be wood chips by the time Tony's finished. Milly looks just a little TOO interested in his handi .... erm ... beakywork as well!

 

[zERo]

The 6 gal. Black water, still remains betta-less

Tony’s favorite way to cuddle

The lettuce is ready! Tony likes it the best, and Milly too.

Tom scritchin’

Hmm, lots of Tony today

Toothless as a baby at 90g.

And her now at 1000g

 

[zERo]

I finally caught Milly bathing!

And then she went up to her platform to cuddle with some cardboard

Annnnd of course Tom being cute!

Tony trying honeydew for the first time. He didn’t like it as much as apple or lettuce as he didn’t say ‘Mmm!’

And Mr. Elrond! Finally eating after 4 months!

Man her tail is rough! This was before her bath, she has stopped growing random white feathers from her tail and head which I take as a good sign but still shreds her tail :/

Awwwwwwwwwwww, Milly in the bath, just so sweet!!Hope I'm as lucky to catch Lovejoy in the act one of these days - if you've caught Milly then perhaps there's hope for me yet!

There’s always hope!
One day you’ll catch him!

Isn’t she?

And yep! Tony says it about his favorite foods, apple, lettuce, granola, and blueberries!

 

[zERo]

Tom and Tony both look like butter wouldn't melt! Has there been any improvement in relations between them lately?

 

[zERo]

Thank you! They sure are!

Weeeell, I don’t know…
Since the last poor interaction I’m too scared to let them out together.
I let Tony out first and he has his time and then Tom.
The tiels and budgies just keep to themselves while out so it’s no problem for them.

 

[zERo]

Mmhm this bed is made of bed…

Oh no! The offending cup hath returned!

A lovely angel at my local fish store

And wet Tony

Nap time

The tiels. Sheer Khan molting and a Ryuk looks prestigious with his tall tall crest!

Grim looks itchy

 

[zERo]

Wow! A non-blurry pic of the cherry barbs and glolights!

This little guy has been at the pet store for over 3 months…he was $2500 then and now he’s $1600.

Pretty guy

Those baby snakes' markings are amazing! Oooohhhhh but I tell you what, good thing I don't frequent that pet store though, my flock would probably number six in total by now!!

Oh my gosh, they're all gorgeous, and Baby #3 is stunning! I so wish I lived near you, between your gorgeous flock, fish and snakes I'd never leave once I came to visit

Great idea, @zERo, and I'll just tell my hubby he has to move out so I can make some more floor space available, I'm sure he won't mind!!

Aw me too! That baby turned out to be a girl. She has a good personality too.

Awww, and a girl as well! How do you sex snakes?

 

[zERo]

Awww, and a girl as well! How do you sex snakes?

Well, there’s a few ways to do it, I probe them, so, you take an appropriately sized stainless steel probe and, in the end of their tails, they have two pockets, the females have very shallow pockets so the probe goes in 2-3 ventral scales, while the males have deep pockets (for storing their hemipenes when not in use) and the probe goes in 4-6+ scales.
You could look up a video so you can see it too.

Great idea, @zERo, and I'll just tell my hubby he has to move out so I can make some more floor space available, I'm sure he won't mind!!

This is the right way to do it! Just one more won’t hurt!
