Fur Babies, part 3

Remember a looooong time ago when I introduced my babies to everyone? Well, I never got to part 3-- my no-fur-havin' babies. 
Snappy AKA Snapzilla
Snappy is a big boy. He's an Alligator Snapping Turtle. He's heavy too. He's difficult for Chris to pick up with 2 hands. Snappy used to live inside in a long 50 gallon tank with another turtle, but they didn't get along well. He has an attitude problem and issues with authority figures. Now Snappy has his own pond in the back yard. Trust me it is covered and he cannot escape! He loves goldfish and shrimpand he's about 4 years old with a face only a mother could love. :}
Cooty
This is Cooty. He's a Carolina Cooter. He's also around 4 years old, but much smaller than his old tank mate. I can easliy pick him up but he doesn't always like it. He has a 50 gallon tank with a turtle topper all to himself. Cooty does yoga. No really. No actually, when he sleeps he sticks one leg straight out. I call it turtle yoga.
Pascal & Delilah
These 2 crazy kids are our veiled chameleons. They aren't bunk mates anymore because I caught them having sex one day. Yep. I'm not ready for grandchildren and they really were getting too old and needed to be separated. They are almost 2 years old and love crickets more than they love me. 

We also have 2 Tokay Geckos (JD and Em) and a Golden Gecko (Goldie). They don't hold still for pictures and they certainly don't smile. 

That's it for our clan, if you missed the last posts these are the links!

Animal Kingdom: part 2

Here are some of the animal photos from last week's trip to Animal Kingdom, enjoy!
Hippos!
The tigers were so lazy, but it was hot outside.
The poor guy on the left was antler-ing (like teething, but when you grow antlers instead. There's probably an actual name for it.) It looks really painful.
I love this mural. It's giant! Maybe sometime I'll video it.
How cute are these faces? BFForLife.
Looks like Chris spotted the Meerkats! (RIP Flower)
Be sure to check out part 1 and the instagram post!

I'll see if I can get some more photos up tomorrow... ones from my camera.

Fill in the Blanks Monday




1.  The best news I ever received was I found out my sister was pregnant. Yep! Best news ever! I can't really think of anything that tops my nephew <3


2. Something I'm looking forward to is getting to see my sister again. I need to call her. It just seems like it's one thing or another these days.


3. Something I would never do is abuse an animal. Except spiders. I would abuse those til the cows come home!


4. If I could choose someone to be my life coach (famous or not, living or dead), I'd choose my Nana. (She is soooo much smarter that Oprah, by the way). My Nana is very level-headed, she gets what she wants and she is such a strong woman. I really wish we lived closer.


5. If I had to put a label on my style it would be a "pretty good mix." I don't really care to be labeled, I wear what I like whether it is fashionable or not. Who gets to decide what's good and what's not? Certainly not the Do's and Don't page in the back of a fashion magazine. I prefer natural fabrics and I won't wear something if it doesn't fit.


6. One should always be proud of themselves.


7. I want to finish de-cluttering our backroom. I've started but I keep running into Chris "the resistor." Boys and their toys.

Daily Animal Doodle... Day 5-7

Whoops! I've been a little too busy to post these, so here goes!


Day 5: Orangutan


I didn't google what they actually looked like. I felt like it would take away from the authenticity of a "doodle." I could only see King Louie from The Jungle Book in my head and so I went with it!



Day 6: Kangaroo



Day 7: Sheep


Sexy legs on a sheep-ess (or ewe)? Yes.
