Here's one of my female tailless whip scorpions which has moulted in recent days. The first picture is of her several hours post-moult, looking quite alien, whilst the second is of her empty discarded exoskeleton/exuvia! Always amazing to see. 👍

Eleven weeks on from hatching and my baby tailless whip scorpions are looking fabulous. They're growing quickly and looking more like mini versions of their parents every day. 👍

Iris, my beautiful 2yr old Bismarck ringed python, has shed her skin today and is looking FABULOUS! Her iridescence just keeps getting better and better as the months go on. 🌈

In recent weeks I've had the first individuals mature of a huge Vietnamese stick insect species known as Phryganistria heusii yentuensis. This is the second longest species in the world and I acquired the ova (eggs) of these at the end of last year. This is Santiago, a lovely 11yr old birthday boy I met last weekend, enjoying meeting the largest male I currently have here - he is 37cm from the tip of his abdomen to the end of his front legs. What's amazing is that mature females are even longer than this - reaching up to half a metre in total length!!

Evening all. I hope you're very well. One of my juvenile Peruvian purple pink toe tarantulas moulted earlier in the week and she is looking FABULOUS. Absolutely love this species. 😁

This is the fabulous Pepper, one of my female dalmatian crested geckos, who has just turned two years old. When I bought her in November 2021 she weighed just 3g but now she is close to 50g. She will be paired with my adult male dalmatian Pongo in the spring, so hopefully there will be some adorably spotty babies in the summer of 2024!
