Not phantom related but here a photodump of my baby Loki 🫶

[katiefrog217]

You would THINK I don't feed my snake with the way he came flying at his food today.

He's usually pretty docile about it so this was a surprise (it doesn't help aiming his strike because he WILL spit it out and not eat if he grabs it wrong).

And then he decided to stick his whole face in the water and ended up squeaking like duh man.

She’s just living her best life. Leopard geckos have got to be one of my most favorite pets to own and keep. Definitely looking forward to getting another in the future.

I need a name for this baby. He is a rescue that came to be and needs some love.

I’m currently visiting my bf in Florida for two weeks while we’re both on winter break and he’s just as crazy about animals as I am so here’s all of his pets.

1. The fish tanks

He has two fish tanks: a larger personal tank that he keeps at home and contains neon tetras, panda corydoras (that I couldn’t find because they like to hide in the plants), cherry shrimp, and ghost shrimp. Then there’s his smaller tank that he usually keeps at his dorm which also has some shrimp, some limpets, and bladder snails, but also has some rummy-nosed tetras and three African dwarf frogs named Fufu, Fumbwa, and Frank Sinatra. However, since that tank doesn’t have a lid and he didn’t want the cats messing with the fish and frogs he moved them to his larger tank over for over break.

2. Ganüsh the White’s tree frog

He usually likes to hide so it’s hard to get pics of him.

3. Bocaj the Chahoua gecko

His name is literally my name backwards because when he was a baby he hated me and would always bite me and no one else but now we’re friends and he lets me hold him sometimes.

4. Keshet the Brazilian rainbow boa

She’s absolutely stunning and I wish I could get a full body shot but this was taken right before she was fed and now that she’s eaten I don’t want to disturb her while she’s digesting. She’s still a baby but she’s grown a lot since he first got her. She also has a hidden Mickey on her but I don’t think you can see it in this pic.

Those are all of his pets though his parents also have two dogs and two cats. The cats are named Winter and Priscilla and I love them despite being allergic to them. The dogs are both white golden retrievers named Willow and Aspen. Willow is a gremlin and she scratched my foot but Aspen is a nice old man so we’re chill.

Meet Kaiju, my new pet & very first reptile!

Kaiju is an eyelash crested gecko & a full grown adult at about 3 years old. I got him earlier this month at a nearby reptile show called Repticon.

In Japanese, Kaiju means "strange creature/beast" & since he's such an interesting & unique little critter, I think it suits him quite well. The titans in the Godzilla & Pacific Rim movies are known as kaiju. The term kaiju is also used for the monstrous creatures featured in the 2010 Cartoon Network animated movie Firebreather that I remember watching when I was younger.

I've wanted a reptilian pet for a very long time, so finally getting one of my very own was a dream come true! It's like having my own tiny dragon! I've had Kaiju nearly two weeks now & he's already my pride & joy! Doesn't he have just the cutest little face?! Coolest early Christmas gift ever!

Today's Salad 🤭

So we have a bearded dragon and i love him dearly, but i saw a post earlier that was like, reptile owners freaking out (/pos) whenever their lizard moves and its like absolutely true but also my beardie will randomly get the zoomies (not in a glass surfing way) and sometimes i just want the noise to stop. I love him, he deserves the enrichment, he deserves all good things but the noise gets way too much sometimes. Bro please it's been 2 hours sit on your rock please.

God DAMN

Today my dad and I cleaned Curtis’s terrarium. Now it’s all nice and clean for her to explore (I don’t think I ever mentioned this, but I have a green anole named Curtis Connors. Yes, she’s named after the Spiderman villain)

The owner vs the pet

[pixoplanet]

It's October 21st, 🐊 Reptile Awareness Day! Today's the day that fans of snakes, lizards, turtles, crocodilians, and the tuatara take time to educate the general public (that's us) about these magnificent creatures, their shrinking numbers, their rapidly disappearing habitats, and the ecological threats they face.

More than 10,000 species of reptiles share our planet with us, and every single one of them is cold-blooded. The very first reptiles evolved hundreds of millions of years ago. They survived the Cretaceous-Paleogene mass extinction event 66 million years ago that was caused by an asteroid slamming into Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. Now they live on every continent in the world except Antarctica.

Reptiles serve an important role in every ecosystem they live. They benefit us directly by helping to control insect and rodent populations, so we should thank them. If you're one of those people, however, who reacts with abject terror at the sight of a reptile, today presents an excellent opportunity for you to familiarize yourself with the wonders of the scaly world and perhaps develop an appreciation for them. I hope so. ☮️ Peace… Jamiese of Pixoplanet
