Breaking news: giant reptilian monsters spotted climbing all over Chicago landmarks!

This month's CHS Junior Herpers (a reptile club for kids that I run) was all about movie monsters. We talked about reptiles in the film industry and then I showed the kids how to use miniature sets and low angle photography to make their little friends look like giants. The ball python had a little trouble, but his owner was super pleased. CC the crested gecko was easily our best actor- he loved our bridge sets. The kids had a blast casting their creatures in a hypothetical movie.

This is the second gecko baby hatchling from my pair, Meat and Potato. It got swag right out the egg. 😄

He’s a special brand of photogenic fr

He wants to show you his toenails

This handsome boy is my current socialization project! His name is Grayson, and he is a Gargoyle gecko. He has done quite well with me and will hang around on the back of my shirt, up on my shoulders, or even in my hair for hours comfortably now. He is less tolerant of improper handling so he is not yet ready to handled by kids but he's doing such a good job so far. I'm a very proud parent of this spicy little darling ❤️

Kork is the most majestic lizard

her head so full of thought

Finished 6"x9" watercolor gecko commission. Lots of room for improvement (and better brushes) but I'm satisfied. Featuring Hera the gargoyle gecko, Banana the crested, and Porpax karikouyensis on the left and Dendrobium ngoyense on the right, orchids that are native to New Caledonia where the geckos are from. (Not sure if the orchids are native to the geckos' specific islands buuuut whatever).

One Mr. Smaugus just for you…

Smaug is a multi-talented lad - he’s adept at eating food in slow motion, sleeping whilst upside down, and completely missing what he’s jumping at
