Monthlyish pet pics - 2 of 3 - The amphibians and reptile!
Part two of the monthlyish pet pics! This time devoted to the coldblooded vertebrates.
This time we have:
Berry Mad!

In her most fashionable hat!
(You can see right in front of her that she has started to dig the water out of her pond to make mud for herself. Previously, she would push her dirt into the pond to make mud, but apparently this year, she has decided she likes this way better.)

Sittin' in her plant.

Not the clearest, but 'tis the time of year where she starts to burrow.

Toad? What toad? I don't see a toad.

Buried in her self-made mud. But then I dumped crickets in, and she immediately sat up, haha.
Guava Splash!

So small it makes me want to cry.

(This picture is from Alex. Showing off the other side of the tiniest frog.)

So small.

This picture is from just yesterday. Tiny frog is looking a little chubby!
(Which is actually a relief... I was worried about getting something so small to eat enough to stay healthy.)
And mom and Taylor's garter snake, who has been named Ripley!
(Ripley, because she looks "ripple-y" when she moves, but also because Alien is great.)

She's so cute. She likes her little plant.

I love her and her cute little face.

Ripley was definitely a good name.

Berry Mad didn't ever fully hibernate last year, though the species usually would. Last year she'd just burrow for a few days, and then come back out for a bit before burrowing again. This year I haven't been seeing her come back out, but she obviously is because she keeps making new mud to burrow into, haha.
Guava Splash is not looking any bigger, ha. I was hoping just a teeeeeeeenie bit bigger so I could feed crickets instead of fruit flies, but I don't think we're there yet, ha.

The snake really is just so adorable.
