hi everyone! I honestly forgot I had this blog. A lot has happened since I made my first posts: first off, I graduated college! yay lol. Secondly, amity is 3 1/2 now, and we adopted a second cat last may that we named Loomis (Loomi, Lumiere, etc). He's about a year and a half currently and is a big boy (the vet said he was healthy though). Additionally, I'm not sure if we had her at the time but I included a few pictures of my snake Townes Van Zandt (townes for short). She's almost two years old and is a ball python. This picture was from about an hour ago. She is currently in a 67 gallon tank that's designed to be wider than taller since she isn't an arboreal snake.
I have some other tanks, as well as pet mice (not for townes, she eats frozen thawed rats) not pictured. I have the 55 gallon still, a 10 gallon Betta tank, and 3 5 gallon Betta tanks- one of which being Dior's.
Over time dior has developed a tumor and other health issues so I will not be posting pictures of him. We believe that his issues are from breeding because his water is changed once a week and kept at near perfect parameters. If anybody has any suggestions on how to keep him comfortable I would appreciate it! He doesn't seem to be in any pain and does normal fish stuff but we still worry and are keeping a close eye on him to know when it's time.
Overall all the other animals are doing well! The mice in particular are now over a year old. They are in a 40 gallon reptile glass tank and spend most of their time digging around or running on their wheel. We started off with 5 female mice, but 3 of them have passed from old age by this point. The other two are living it up in mouse city though lol.
This is kind of a long post but I love sharing pictures of and talking about my pets. I really enjoy taking care of a variety of animals and creating the best habitats for them. I hope to share more soon, and possibly get some good pics of the fish tanks too (they just tend to zip around too quickly to get a good shot).
