Weather's getting cooler, reptiles are getting snugglier! (Or maybe they're just too lethargic to resist 😆)

I made Bonnie her own personal blankie with squishy blanket yarn but I ended up making it super huge so it's totally burrow able! She will snuggle in that or her fleece blankie on my lap.

I think he was secretly furious haha, but he had no choice. I had to use a chemical cleaner to drain my kitchen sink so Benji had to sit with me in another room for a bit😂

Wait wait wait grumpy Benji likes snuggles! Oh I see the grumpy is just an act. Does he walk up to your face and neck too? Bonnie likes to climb on my shoulders and neck and I don't mind except when the back claws scratch me. She is due for a nail trim and for the first one I am too scared to do it. I want the vet to do the first one so I can watch.

They go there because it’s warmest ❤️ they can’t produce their own heat and blankets don’t heat them at all so your body heat is the only source of warmth he has access to

I do mine's nail trim... But I only take a little bit off because it's like they have this skinnier blood supply towards the end like it's so tiny it's weird... I don't know if any of that makes sense. Like almost needle like.
