EEEEEP!!!! I had the honor of designing TWO new washi tapes for The Washi Station's "Florapedia" collection! 🥺💜 One features four iconic geckos of New Caledonia, and the other features flora & fauna of California. ✨️
You can find these + my snakes of the Philippines washi tape at thewashistation.com!🙌🐍����🌺

My favorite kind of animal are those that took a ridiculously long time to be discovered or were thought to be extinct because their camouflage is just that good
Like, look at pygmy seahorses!
Tumblr media
They were discovered by ACCIDENT while collecting coral samples!
Tumblr media
The geckos of New Caledonia (as far as I know) have all had their turn being thought of as extinct as well, but nah they're just hella good
Look at this chahoua gecko! Imagine trying to find THAT in the middle of the jungle
Tumblr media
... The only exception being the leachianus gecko, of only because it's the largest gecko species in the world

Man I love animals

I’m currently visiting my bf in Florida for two weeks while we’re both on winter break and he’s just as crazy about animals as I am so here’s all of his pets.
1. The fish tanks
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He has two fish tanks: a larger personal tank that he keeps at home and contains neon tetras, panda corydoras (that I couldn’t find because they like to hide in the plants), cherry shrimp, and ghost shrimp. Then there’s his smaller tank that he usually keeps at his dorm which also has some shrimp, some limpets, and bladder snails, but also has some rummy-nosed tetras and three African dwarf frogs named Fufu, Fumbwa, and Frank Sinatra. However, since that tank doesn’t have a lid and he didn’t want the cats messing with the fish and frogs he moved them to his larger tank over for over break.
2. Ganüsh the White’s tree frog
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
He usually likes to hide so it’s hard to get pics of him.
3. Bocaj the Chahoua gecko
Tumblr media
His name is literally my name backwards because when he was a baby he hated me and would always bite me and no one else but now we’re friends and he lets me hold him sometimes.
4. Keshet the Brazilian rainbow boa
Tumblr media
She’s absolutely stunning and I wish I could get a full body shot but this was taken right before she was fed and now that she’s eaten I don’t want to disturb her while she’s digesting. She’s still a baby but she’s grown a lot since he first got her. She also has a hidden Mickey on her but I don’t think you can see it in this pic.
Those are all of his pets though his parents also have two dogs and two cats. The cats are named Winter and Priscilla and I love them despite being allergic to them. The dogs are both white golden retrievers named Willow and Aspen. Willow is a gremlin and she scratched my foot but Aspen is a nice old man so we’re chill.

Could you tell me where the magical petshop that sells self-multiplying geckos and mimic spiders is located at?
😅 omfg, yeah idk why i keep getting lucky with my pets????? i got the spider from a reptile store that doesn't normally focus on spiders so i'm wondering if they just got them mixed up.. they don't have them listed anymore.. dunno if they sold out or realized their mistake once they all started molting and turning blue 😂

Pick a Pet.
So! I have a 4x45x60cm (18x18x24″) bioactive terrarium awaiting a resident.
I was initially going to get dart frogs, but I just can’t stand handling the fruit flies anymore. I can’t do it. I CAN’T!
So now I’m turning to other options.
I already have a peacock day gecko, pacman frog, three stenodactylus sthenodactylus, and a number of tarantulas. I’ll be getting some mourning geckos as well once the small terrarium is finished.
I’m planning on getting a cuban false chameleon for a second terrarium I have; this is a guy I’ll be able to handle, if I want, so the other resident doesn’t need to be handleable.
Handling isn’t that important to me, I know a lot of reptiles don’t like it.
Likewise, I’m not interested in breeding. If it happens, it happens, otherwise I’m not bothered.
Diet wise, I already feed dubia roaches and crickets to my current animals, and I’ll be getting snails for my false chameleon, so I’m not too leery about feeder insects, except for fruit flies, who are the bane of my life. NO FRUIT FLIES.
Maintenance-wise, I’ll be setting up an automatic misting system, and the terrariums will be bioactive so they’ll have clean up crews for the majority of the mess.
Nominees are:
TOKAY GECKO
Tumblr media
Pros: top of my list, unique looking, personality, feisty, easy to feed, not too expensive
Cons: defensive/aggressive, might be hard to wrangle, nocturnal ?
I’m probably going to go with this option. Tokay’s are notorious for being unhandleable, but  handleability isn’t on my list of requirements, so I don’t care. A nice contrast to the false chameleon?
MADAGASCAN DAY GECKO
Tumblr media
Pros: cute as hell, large and attractive, pretty, personable, curious, diurnal, very easy to feed (powder foods), can be trained to climb onto your hand
Cons: already have a day gecko, a little more costly, not handleable because they can drop their tails but also SLOUGH OFF THEIR SKIN NO NO
If I had an extra terrarium I’d get one, but dudes, the skin. THE SKIN. I can’t take it, I’d never want to hurt an animal and I can’t stand the idea of accidentally causing this. Also very similar to my existing peacock gecko
CHAHOUA GECKO
Tumblr media
Pros: easy care, basically a big version of a crested gecko, handleable, unusual and I think they’re pretty
Cons: SO expensive, on this list by a tenuous grasp because of that, not as drawn to them as the above two, EXPENSIVE, costs money, I’m poor and this gecko is expensive, did I mention expensive?
We’re talking £300 to £500 for a pair; they’re also hard to find NOT in a pair, for some reason.
RED-EYED TREE FROG
Tumblr media
Pros: frog!, very pretty, unique, fun to have, doesn’t eat fruit flies, sweet, appeal of another frog
Cons: small in an enclosure (I can’t remember if you can keep a pair or trio together), hides, mid-pricey, I’m not as drawn to them as the top two geckos
Close to my original dart frog idea, but they don’t need to eat fruit flies. A classic amphibian, but I’m not sure I want another one. Would it be better to keep to geckos?
Looking forward to seeing your opinions!

Before we send the hunters out for the ones that are more common in the pet trade ARE crested geckos, gargoyle Geckos, new caledonian giant geckos (Also CALLED leachies), and chahouas.
