Breaking news: giant reptilian monsters spotted climbing all over Chicago landmarks!

This month's CHS Junior Herpers (a reptile club for kids that I run) was all about movie monsters. We talked about reptiles in the film industry and then I showed the kids how to use miniature sets and low angle photography to make their little friends look like giants. The ball python had a little trouble, but his owner was super pleased. CC the crested gecko was easily our best actor- he loved our bridge sets. The kids had a blast casting their creatures in a hypothetical movie.

Gecko Fact of the Day ✨️

Most geckos don't have eyelids! Instead, we have tiny protective scales that need to be licked off occasionally.

Also! While most geckos are nocturnal, all geckos have vertical pupils that can overlap to a tiny slit, letting in only a pinprick of light.

This protects their eyes from harsh lights, even though they can't close their eyes!

‼️IMPORTANT‼️

Realized the tiny crown from a board game I have would be perfectly Space Cowboy sized. My collection of pics of my pets in hats grows.

Uh oh he misfired!!

For anyone who doesnt get it, crested geckos can change colour by 'firing up' or 'firing down' which makes their colours darker or lighter respectively. Misfiring is when only certain parts of their bodies fire up while the rest of them remains the same. @tailsandco said the term reminded her of a cartoonish shotgun blast and thus this drawing came to be!

Told my friend that I’ve always wanted to get a really good photograph of a lizard licking its eye because it’s one of the cutest things they do and she was like oh my god I have the perfect gecko for that let’s make it happen. The model was a true professional and she obviously understood my vision
