Hibernating ending..

Yesterday, I started to take some of my animals out of hibernation. I have had them all in a separate refridgerator in my garage, with temperatures ranging from +6,0 degrees Celcius to +7,5 degrees Celcius.

Started to tkae the male vipers out and some of the lizards, putting them on the garagefloor for a couple of days in a temperature of roughly +12 degrees Celcius - +15 degrees Celcius. This is to prevent the animals dying from a heatchock.

So, I will be busy this coming weekend, decorating terrariums for them. This is one of the pleasures in herptilekeeping, at least for me..

Sea turtle advocates appeal to the Vatican

Did you ever want to write a letter to the Pope, but you didn’t know what to say? Well, here’s your chance to write that letter. Sea turtle advocates did all the work for you, and they vastly improved your only likely chance of an audience. According to the sea turtle advocates, your voice could be one of thousands calling upon His Excellency to stop the slaughter of these oceangoing innocents during the Lenten season. The Baja California Sur environmental group ProPeninsula is engaged in a letter writing campaign to His Excellency Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican asking him to remind Catholics everywhere that sea turtles are not fish.

Snake Found Inside Car Rental

WITI-TV, MILWAUKEE  –  Of all the things you might expect to find in your glove compartment. A map, your car’s registration. A four-foot long snake is probably not one of them.

But that’s what happened Wednesday at the Budget rental location near Milwaukee’s General Mitchell Airport. The car had just been returned, and budget employees were combing through it. When they opened the glove compartment, they saw the snake’s face right there.

The snake is actually a red-tail boa.  Animal Control was called to remove it. But they actually had to tear apart the dashboard to get it out.

The man driving the car says he’s glad he didn’t see it, or he probably would’ve passed out.
