Updates

So, first off I'd just like to wish everyone a very happy New Year. Thats a picture of me on Christmas Eve HAHA.

Lately I haven't made a ton of reptile videos. Everyone knows that recently I was attacked by some haters and had to deal with that for a bit. I'm getting back in the swing of reptile videos from my long Christmas Break.

I've made an update video recently and hopefully in the next week I'll be making some videos focused more on one species than all of my animals.

I know lots of people are dying to see more of the Tegu, Panzer and my Boa, Lola.

Shedding Time

Its shedding time here for my Tegu and Chameleon!

Chameleon sheds are sometimes annoying and can take up to 5 days to completely come off. These sheds come off in very tiny pieces and get scattered across the enclosure. A major cleaning time is needed after these guys shed!

As for Panzer, overnight he shed off large pieces of his side and back. With him though, he has some stuck sheds on the legs and toes. When there are stuck sheds on the toes, it is very important to get these off. Sometimes the reptile needs a little extra help.

What I do is give them a bath in warm water for about 20 minutes. Sometimes your reptile won't like a bath, but just let them run and play around in there for a while. They'll settle down.

Panzer is a very tame, calm reptile. It's easy dealing with him thankfully. He'll just go limp in my hand while I peel of the extra skin.

What I've Been Up To

Oh boy, so I've been super busy lately. I haven't had time to make videos, so one day I made a bunch of videos and I've been uploading lots to keep you guys busy.

I think I've uploaded about 4 this week alone.

I'm part of my High School's Ski/Snowboard team. We race and train all the time. dryland 3 times a week and then we go out on snow about once a week.

I've been really tired from doing this, and we had our first on snow training yesterday.
I did 2 backflips down the hill trying to ride switch and man am I sore.

I've also had a fever of about 100 degrees for the past 3 days and can't seem to shake it.

Hopefully I will get some more reptile videos up soon because I know the videos I've been uploading lately were non-reptile related. Those are just a lot easier to make because I don't have to edit them and wait about a week to build up clips. For reptile feedings, they take over a month to make because I have to save clips of my animals eating.

Anyways, I'm tired. I don't even think many people read this thing so I am wasting my time :P

New Tegu

This is my new Tegu, Panzer. He is an Argentine B&W . I love him so much, he slept the whole hour long car ride home on my knee (: (shown in picture)

The expo was lots of fun!
I couldn't find a Sulcata Tortoise, so I got him (:

He is very tame, and so cute!

For a video of him, check my Youtube Channel.

Halloween !

Halloween is coming !

WOO.

This is by far one of my favourite holidays :D

This year I am going out trick-or-treating. I haven't gone in close to 4 years.

I'm being a 70/80's style workout girl with my friend.

Its going to be awesome.

Canadian Thanksgiving

Hey everyone (:
So this weekend was the Canadian Thanksgiving.
I spent it up at my cottage with my family.
I had lots of fun hanging with my cottage neighbor, Maddy. We went ATVing and it was funny.
Then for dinner I went to my family in Bobcaygeon. I have a 2.5 year old cousin there and he was cute. Generally I'm pretty horrible with kids, but he was smart :D

Anyways, my video is up of my weekend on Youtube.

Lost Zyggy

Yeah well my kingsnake, Zyggy got out again and this time I can't find him.

I have a feeling he went down the vent into the furnace pipes.

And if thats that case, then theres no chance in getting him back, like its literally impossible..

):

What I'm up to

Hey guys. Haven't had a lot of time lately to make Youtube videos.

I currently have 2 projects in Biology, 1 in Photography, 1 in French and a test in Math to study for.

I'm doing good otherwise and have finally gotten rid of my cold I had.

All my animals are awesome too. My Boa was kind of pissy today though because of .. well I really don't know why LOL

She was hissing, striking at the bin and bit me twice. She settled down though.

Anyways, back to school work ..

Snake Keepers Of the World

RaulSparza, a fellow reptile keeper on YouTube came up with a gnarly idea to make a video compilation of the snake keepers around the world !
Everyone who joined sent in a short clip of them, their snake and it's enclosure.
The video turned out totally awesome and here's the link so everyone who hasn't heard of it can see !
Its also featured on my profile.

Boa Constrictor

This is my new Common Boa Constrictor, LoWreck. Its is a female and she's about 3 months old.
I picked her up on Sunday at the Mississauga Reptile Expo. She cost $150 for those who were asking before. The expo had some really nice Boas. Unfortunately, I can't afford them ;)

I'll keep everyone posted on her .

Home Sick

Today, I was home sick yet again.

I have completely lost my voice. Not even a whisper comes out, its rediculous.

I'm excited for the reptile expo though, so I better hurry up and get better.

The other day I bought Kung Phooey for like $6 at Zellers.

I was pretty excited that they had movies for like $4-10.

I was planning on watching it, but my Dad was home. And his room has the DVD player ):

Yeah, my picture is of an army man. I took it like a month ago, I think it looks sick.

Once again, if anyone is reading this and they're going to the Mississauga Reptile Expo on Sunday, say hi if you see me (:

Last time like 5 people said they were looking for me, but I guess I was there at an odd time.

Anyways, hope to see people on Sunday.

Sickness has taken over me

This image expresses my hatred towards being sick.
During the weekend I got a really sore throat, and it just keeps getting worse.
I can't breath out of my damn nose and I have a disgusting cough.

To anyone who was expecting some new videos, it won't happen for a bit.

So I'm getting a Leopard Gecko soon. Probably this week.
Its a "rescue". Everyone knows I'm not too fond of Leos.

Well I better get back to drinking some tea with lemon ..
Even though its doing absolutely nothing for my throat.

So this week I have been kind of sick. I had a sweet weekend at the cottage, but I now have like the flu.

I might be getting a Leopard Gecko pretty soon aswell. My friend needs to get rid of it and asked if I could take it off him.

This Sunday is the Missisauga reptile expo, so anyone who's going let me know.
