Nogo is a Weber’s Sailfin Dragon. Notice the large fin on her tail which is the sailfin namesake. She also has big, wide, back feet that help her stay buoyant in the water. Here she is well fired up and you can see a nice array of colors on her—mostly green and orange.

Nova is our last fox, the others all having passed away. He is also the shyest of all of them. We are working with him slowly each day. Today he got a chicken thigh and he came over and took it from us happily.

We are in the process of remodeling his enclosure, so excuse the wire floor in some spots.

This week we worked on dismantling Breeze’s old enclosure so that we can make room for extra enclosures. We are excited to get that underway!

We are not offering fox encounters at this time due to Nova’s nature. We hope in the future we will be able to continue offering encounters.

Luna loves being petted or rubbed anyway she gets it. She is so sweet.

Luna wants to help us move dirt into the enclosures. I think she's too small to help--except for ripping open the bags.

Boop the snoot. Foxes have an excellent sense of smell. They use their nose to find mice and other prey. In addition, it aids them with communication. They are able to smell other foxes chemical cues.

Miss Luna loves to lay in the dirt. While the other foxes feel most at peace sleeping on their shelves or the upper levels of their enclosures, she feels best... in the dirt. Silly girl. It must feel very soft to her since we added new soil. She makes little nesting spots, circles clear of woodchips and rocks, and curls up to sleep.

Foxes will often use their "brush" (or tail) for a pillow.

Recently, The Baron, our California king snake, was exhibiting some unusual behavior. He was biting his tail over and over. This can be caused by several things. Too hot of temperatures, too small of an enclosure, he is hungry, or it could mean he is in pain. My vet took some radiographs and we discovered he has arthritis in his tail. He was given some pain meds, an antibiotic in case he was sick with something else, and silver sulfadiazine cream. He also receives betadine baths. So far he is feeling much much better and yesterday he even shed in one complete piece! If your animal is ever exhibiting strange behavior, especially self-mutilation, always get a vet involved so you can determine if it is medically related.
