Crazy day!

We are home 90% of the time, but of course crazy things happen on a rare day we are away. We came home Wednesday evening to 5 more turtle eggs, 4 are definitely fertile, bringing us to 7 fertile eggs and 5 unknowns! Yay! We can't wait for baby turtles to start hatching.

There were also 4 Crestie eggs waiting for us, 2 are definitely fertile. 

The last surprise was that we had a Crestie baby waiting for us. This is our 6th year breeding and this little one is our first deformity. "He" is a cutie! I love the dorsal pattern and can't wait to see what happens with it, we definitely have not hatched anyone with this solid of a dorsal before. You can see his left hind leg is twisted, it's like his knee joint is backwards. He's a bit clumsy and slow, but he can get around and climb just fine. The next couple of weeks will tell us if there are any internal issues too. 

Do you want to see our gecko room?

We promised you walkthroughs of our reptile spaces and we are keeping that promise :-). This first one is of our gecko room. The blue tongue skink room, the Boivini habitats, and the stink pot turtle aquariums will be coming over the next few weeks. Enjoy the quick glimpse into a bit of what we do :-)

5 days until the Expo!

We have 5 days until our first Expo of 2017! Today we are weighing geckos, deciding who will come with us, and taking photos of those who are ready for new homes. Are you ready to see some? 

** I apologize for the poor quality of these photos, it's much easier to post right from my phone, but it looks like the photo quality suffers :-( . I still have more juveniles to take photos of and I will take the time to upload them onto the computer first. If time allows, I will redo these 8 before the show. **

These are our Tiana and Titan babies who are ready to go home. All are over 5 grams and unsexed.



Lily and James babies that are all over 5 grams, unsexed and ready to go.



These 2 were purchased from Live Harmless Reptiles in BC, but have not grown into what we were hoping for. They are unsexed.

We do not ship our reptiles, are currently only selling them at Expos we attend and due to issues in the past, we no longer take deposits or hold an animal for pick up. These photos are to show you who we are bringing and to get you excited to come.

Only 6 days to go!

In 6 days you will find us hanging out at Edmonton's Reptile Expo! Until then this place will be humming with preparations as each family member pitches in to get things done. This is our 10 year old drilling holes in the grow out habitats we sell. 

See you at the Expo!

Spring ERAS expo!

Our tables are booked! This will be our 4th Edmonton expo, we are excited to see old friends and make new ones. Maybe we will see you there

Changes

Due to unforseen circumstances, we currently do not have the time required to follow through with individual sales. Family concerns are going to be taking me away from home for significant amounts of time over the next few months, so we have decided that for 2016 we need to focus on selling our reptiles only at Reptile Expos.

We aren't going anywhere and we have a fantastic breeding season lined up, but we just need to focus on family, our animals, and the reptile expos for the next few months.

Thanks for understanding!

Working hard

We have been working hard at keeping our Facebook page up to date and tend to neglect this page. We know that some of you do not use Facebook and we will try really hard to keep this website more current.

Just this past month we were approved as retailers of Clark's Gecko Diet. Our geckos love this diet and we have heard many times over that it pairs well with Pangea. So, these will be the main 2 diets that we will keep in stock. If we don't have it in, we can always order it so please contact us if you are looking for gecko food.

 

We are heading to Edmonton, AB this weekend to take in the Reptile Expo and are really excited about it. Hopefully there will a table cancellation and we can be vendors, but if not we will thoroughly enjoy the experience of attending. 

October 10 and 11 is our first Reptile Expo in Saskatoon, SK! We will be vending there and are looking forward to meeting so many herpers in our Province whose names we recognize, but we have never met. It will be a great weekend. We will have cresteds for sale along with Clark's Gecko Diet and some reptile harnesses that we are in the process of making. Hope to see you there.

So, we have a busy first half of October. Once the Expos are done, we will completely update this page with cresteds that are still available and photos of the expos. There is a lot of work that goes into getting ready for an expo, so we will not be selling anything from now until we are back on October 12th. 

It was a very busy day around The Crested Castle today. 3 more of our hatchlings moved to their new homes and we are thrilled with every single home. Each of them will be well loved and cared for.

We only have 4 hatchlings/juveniles from 2014 still available. We do have 6 holdbacks though and will likely be releasing 4 of them this summer, when we can sex them.
