Oh, Ophelia, you’ve been on my mind girl since the flood

We’ve got snakes on the brain this week, folks! Meet Ophelia, a gentle ball python who provides her human company. She is most supportive when Kayla is cleaning or working on homework.

Dogs Need Stuffed Animals Too

Happy Friday! the next member of Kayla’s menagerie is Tessa. The first time you meet Tessa, she will bring along a stuffed animal for you to meet as well and to keep her company, as she can get a little scared sometimes.

Our Inaugural Gecko!

Pet of the week first, folks! Our first crested gecko. 😮 This darling’s name is Molly, named after Weasley matriarch because of her red coloring. Unlike Mrs. Weasley, Molly does not knit sweaters but she does love to catch bugs.

Feline Pals

We’ve got two kitties to start off your three-day weekend. Junior and Rusty are pals who spend their days laying around sharing telepathic messages about which chairs get the best sunlight. We hope that your weekend is just as lazy as theirs!

Both cats are staring off into space with apathetic expressions.
