(28) Mostly my creatures and plants in their happy and chill day to day lives

[hogteeth]

I do my absolute utmost to ensure my creatures are happy, healthy, and ethically kept, constantly updating my care as needed based on their response and observed preferences.

I need to update photos but I have bioactive enclosures with live plants for my ball python and Kenyan sand boa. Used to for the hoggies too, but it was too heavy for the move. A 6x2x2 for my subadult ball python Apepi, 30 gallon for juvenile kenyan sand boa Sok, and two 3x2x2 for my adult male and juvenile female western hognoses Pumpkin and Sweet Cinnamon.

Hi! I love your hoggie enclosures and was just curious what substrate you use for them? thank you!

Hella late but for the hoggie enclosures it's an equal mix of coco coir, organic topsoil, play sand, and bentonite clay. Unfortunately it was too heavy for my recent move, and I had to switch back to shredded aspen with a moist hut for them to shed in. Apepi the ball python and Sok the Kenyan sand boa get straight up organic top soil due to the higher love of humidity. Lemme know if I can be more specific!

Got this lad in a del taco parking lot :3

Got him his first set of shots and dewormer, probably gonna keep him and name him Howl/Pendragon hah. Kind of wild how well it works out, because just like Howl he will go from blond to black hair over time "toasting" as a partial albino. If Sophie hated him I would have rehomed after neutering, but she does seem to like him, grooms him and tries to keep him safe when he's getting into trouble. They will probably bond once he's chill as an adult and stops trying to wrestle her all the time.
