Super excited about those beautiful Acanthosaura Armata that just arrived to us.

We do have 3 for sale if anyone here is interested. They love attention and even change colours after hanging out with us.

We are working on breeding them so crossing our fingers 🤞for CBB’s next season.

Larry
Acanthosaura Nataliae / Natal’s Mountain Horned Dragon

Larry is small enough to still be in my definition of a condo sized lizard. Larry is large enough to be super friendly, responsive, cuddly (when he wants to of course).

When acquiring a new reptile (first, second, or 37th) it’s very important to unpack what your expectations of it are - personality, visually, etc. It’s as important to understand that lizards will have individual personalities over their species tendencies. We will always offer our experience and wisdom when we try to pick your new friend with you!

Larry will come with us to say hi (he is NFS) to the coming @reptileexpo - are you coming to say hi? by @responsible_reptile

Nissim, Bones, & Ivy - Our Acanthosaura Nataliae holdbacks are growing slowly. Patience is the name of the game 😆 they range between 14-17 months old, and we’re waiting with females until they are 4 years old to safely breed.

Cookie - the reptile room cat and owner of our hearts from 2019 till January 2026. The best cat one could ever ask for. She will forever be in our hearts. She was @winestyleto cuddle cat, slept by her head, and sought a fort blanket by her feet daily.

Sadie - she too was the best cat. @chefbeyondgender little glove - our first Canadian cat.

We will remember these two forever and grief for their loss till we breath our last breath. Tomorrow, we make room for the new master (cat) to come into our lives. A house with no cat is not something we can endorse 🌈 by @responsible_reptile
