Tai, my 4 year old lab x collie. We got her from a family who needed to rehome her as their new baby was severely allergic to dogs and we couldn't have ended up with a better natured dog than her! She's in her agility tunnel which is her favourite toy!
Silver, my corn snake who is also 4 years old. I've had him since he was just around 5 months old and he's now grown to over 4 feet and is still growing!
Ricki, Sahara and Phoenix, my three dwarf sand geckos. Sahara and Phoenix are both coming up to 4 years old (anyone noticing a pattern here) but I don't know the age of Ricki. She was rehomed from someone that bought her as a birthday present for a friend but she ended up ditched in favour of a hatchling bearded dragon. At the time I was told she was 6 months old, but I now know she was a fully grown adult when I got her so her estimated age is 5-7 years, possibly even older. Sahara and Phoenix were both bought as captive bred youngsters.
Syke is a mourning gecko and she will be...yup you guessed it! four years old in March! I bought her as a 6 week old hatchling. Interesting thing about her species though is that they are parthogenic, which means they reproduce without a male!
And so this led to the newest addition, Little Cumbrae, Skye's daughter who hatched on the 25th of Feburary this year. I returned home from a late night at work to find a tiny baby gecko! This photo was taken a couple of days after she hatched and I don't think it really shows just how tiny she was!
So that is all my little trouble makers! Though Skye is busy making more, there are three eggs in her vivarium that look promising (fortunately I already have a home lined up for those hatchling) and two other eggs are hidden somewhere in her vivarium but I have no idea where!

Everything in life is speaking in spite of its apparent silence.

Yup, no male for her! Males do sometimes appear in the species but no one is quite sure if they have any luck with the girls when they do lol
Wow! What a superb menagerie you have there :-)

KatTai, what can I say, they are such lovely pictures of your 'pets'. I am just going to show how ignorant I am but when will Skye stop breeding and do you intend to keep all the young ?

They pretty much stop breeding when they die. I'll keep some of the young, Cumbrae is mine, but my best friend is getting some as well.
Wow! They are all gorgeous Kat!! I love geckos!! Such beautiful looking reptiles! Tai looks adorable too! Thanks for sharing them with us! :-)

They are all lovely, KatTai! Good pictures. Don't know why some people don't care for reptiles, is it just because they're not furry and cuddly. It must be like looking for homes for kittens when they breed, though.
Thanks for showing them to us.
Lovely pets you have there and they all look well cared for and happy,which is very nice to see...
Being Happy doesn't mean everythings perfect........
It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfections.....
Wow! thats quite a zoo you have there. They must make for a full time job. Thanks for sharing, they are all very cool.

For viewing or photography right place right time is everything. I'd rather be in the right place with poor kit than have the best kit and be in the wrong place.
nice pics

Lindybird They are all lovely, KatTai! Good pictures. Don't know why some people don't care for reptiles, is it just because they're not furry and cuddly. It must be like looking for homes for kittens when they breed, though. Thanks for showing them to us.
I bred my sand geckos a couple of years ago and though there was a lot of interest when I started, I did struggle to find homes for them and many of them where then moved on to new homes, as a result I have no intention of breeding them again unless to breed hatchlings for myself.
I love reptiles, I'd rather them than a furry (or feathered) pet any day (except for a dog of course!).
And it looks as if there could be a new addition on the way too...
Hi KatTai
I seem to have missed this post - what wonderful pets you have, really interesting. Who looks after them when you are away?
