Halmahera

Sally needs a Harry.  Sally is settling in.  She is skittish when you first take her out of her enclosure.  She likes to explore your whole body once she is out- arms backs of legs.  She is fast but friendly.  Once she has run a few laps she settles down and stays put.  She likes my forearm or hand as a final resting point- I think this may be related to it being higher than my legs and warm.

Alpine Newts- small but spicy

The smallest of my newts.  What they lack in size, they make up in color.

Adult female- many of my newts have remained neotenic- this young lady is almost gill free

Adult male - neotenic

Another adult male- neotenic

Crested Gecko Update

I love raising these guys.  I love the growth and changes to their mature colors and structure.  Every gecko is it's own surprise.  

Pookie- one of my pretty girls
Chewy- came from the same breeder as Pookie.  She has great color.

Next are my two pet store geckos.  I just felt so bad for them.  

Google- turned out to be a pretty boy.
Whisky- my gecko with the worst structure- she has a very small head
Brittle- my very yellow boy
Lashes- this boy fires up DARK.  Love his light lashes on his dark base.
Lashes- so cute when they are still growing.

Little Miss Lily- I won her in a Facebook contest.  She is super mellow.  She has such long lashes that she sometime looks sinister. 

Chunker
Sinister look!
Creamy with spots

Blue Tailed Fire Belly Newt

These little ones are small but robust.  Always good eaters.  I have not had any luck with breeding but there is always next year...

Fat with eggs or just fat...

Love their chestnut brown colors

Wonderful- beautiful male
