After all the drama of today's FA Cup final, here are some gorgeous baby dalmatian crested geckos which have hatched here very recently! The paler one hatched on April 22nd and is growing remarkably quickly, whilst the darker one hatched just three days ago and currently weighs only 1.3g! Always lovely to see their cute little faces. 🦎🦎

Another day, another beautifully iridescent snake in the sunshine! This is Iris, my Bismarck ringed python, photographed this afternoon. Unfortunately these images really don't do her any justice at all - she is absolutely stunning when viewed in direct sunlight.

This is Pele, my stunning Brazilian rainbow boa, out in our garden this afternoon. His iridescence really is quite spectacular and, as always, the pictures do not do it justice! He's not even three years old yet and still has some more growing to do, but he is fabulous.

On Thursday Tiny, my fabulous New Caledonian giant gecko, turned 14yrs old. I was determined to try to take some photos of her on my new camera but she was very secretive on her birthday, so I have just taken these now! She is as beautiful and friendly as ever and I've been saying for 14 years that her eyes are my absolute favourite in my animal collection - nothing has changed! It was actually 14 years ago today that I found out she had hatched (I had paid a deposit to reserve her whilst still in the egg as these geckos were in such demand back in the day) when the breeder sent me the photograph of her in her hatching pot. She weighed around 5g back then in 2011 - she's now more than 240g! Absolutely love her to bits.

Hi all. I finally bought myself a new camera with the birthday money I'd saved from last year and today I've been having a first test of the macro features with one of my favourite creatures. This is Mrs Whippy - one of my many Amblypygids aka tailless whip scorpions. I've never seen her exoskeleton in this much detail! I think I'm going to like this camera once I've got the hang of its features. 😀

Today has been the 4th birthday of Santa, my beautiful and ever-popular tricolour hognose snake. Here he is looking particularly handsome this evening! 😁
