Clan Corns

Update time!
Spring is in the air and we have had some warmer times, although a brief spell of snow last weekend did lower temperatures somewhat!

We have 2 more Cresty eggs, this time from Phsyco(Cream/ Mocha Cheveron), the first 2 were from Lily(Lavender Harley), Daddy is a Choc/Cream Flame. The hatchlings from Sept (Itsy) and 1st Jan (Ninja & unnamed) are doing great and growing like weeds although Ninja is taking over from Itsy!

Stumpy, a female from Stacey and Muffin another young girly, have both moved in together into a large glass unit together and seem to be getting on well, although Muffin has decided to sleep each day......like a bat upside down. As long as she is comfy!

Our Gargoyle gecko, Igor, is of course with a name like that looking more female everyday. Devours everything in sight and is due a house upgrade soon!

I have decided not to pair any leopard geckos this year, as I have enough on my hands just now. Not often is a wise choice made like that. Also the Leo group changed a littled last week. I fell in love with Sam's iccle Murphy Patternless male so asked if he would like to do a swap. He is now the new owner of our lovely Sunglow girly Aslan & our little new addition is Pan as he joined us the day before Pancake day!

The soon to be next door neighbours of Muffin & Stumpy arrived this week! A trio of R. kerstenii aka PYGMYELEONS! They are pygmy chameleons and absolutely gorgeous. At 11 months old they are around middle aged, we believe one of the girls has been laying already  Will let you know if babies hatch. The trio are currently in their quarentine abode in another room away from the existing reptile collection.

Whats happening with the snakes I hear you ask? I'm getting there!

Lady & Dexter have had several more pairings, he certainly has got the hang of it for a little chap. Im chuffed to bits at the possiblity of having baby royals this year! Keep everything crossed for us!

Iliria (Opal Stripe) X Pooface( Hypo Bloodred) have been put together a couple of times and no hook up as yet. Its still early, last year it was the start of April that Iliria was paired with Kai so she may just not be ready yet.

There is a secret mating happened of a special project, all will be revealed in oooh....2/3 years time :lol:! 2 hook ups have occured!

Also planned this year is Kiss (Snow het or Homo Hypo het Charcoal) X River (Platinum) & possibly Phoenix (Amel stripe) X Earl (Hypo Stripe) Or Sprite (Snow Stripe) X Komodo (Amel Stripe/Cube).

You can see my plans are a clear as mud at the mo....I have the pairings in my head sorted and on many many bits of paper, but alas, I have to do as the animals dictate and if they dont want to pair there is little I can do about it!


The furries.....we are sad to say we lost our little Oona last weekend to a brain tumour, she was our stunning little Siamese dumbo rat. It was all very sudden and her sister Loki misses her greatly. Although rosy apple flavoured yoghurt drops seem to be helping the grieving process. As over 2 years old we feel Loki is too old to have a new companion introduced to her so she has moved inside and demands our presence at her cage each time we reach the top of the stairs.

Shadow the husky has fully recovered from his op in January to remove coal from several places inside his body! We decided to stop training for rallies and concentrate on getting him back to fitness and give my poor (not so) old body a rest. We are also preparing ourselves for the possible new arrival of a 4 legged furry in the summer, all will be revealed when more is confirmed!

The other dogs are well, the hedgepig is as grumpy as ever. The ferrets are good apart from poor old Mojo is now on heart meds but he doesnt know any different and is as crazy as ever.

I've probably missed someone out but if you didnt know the amount of animals we owned...aherm...are owned by....you do now!

Am in bed with the flu hence the long and waffly update, enjoy!
