Meet Our Animals!

Gopher Snake
Bertha
Bertha is our biggest snake with the biggest personality! Her hobbies include: burrowing in her substrate, slithering in her playpen, and being best friends with our staff member, Morgan.

Lung Fish
Kamongo
There are only six species of fish left on earth that breathe air, and Kamongo the Lung Fish is proud to be one of them. Hobbies include: coming up to breathe air, and eating leftover squid from class squid dissections.

Leopard Geckos
Beso & Sammy
Tiny hands, big hearts! Beso & Sammy are friendly roommates who share hearty mealworm meals. Hobbies include: being misted, shedding skin, and having night vision.

Pythons
Haku, Monty & Ludwig
The pythons are definitely our cuddliest snakes. Monty the python is one of our oldest animals-- he's lived at the workshop for almost 30 years! Their hobbies include: cuddling, rolling up into balls, and getting warm under their heat lamps.

Bearded Dragons
Mimi & Drogo
Same species, two very different personalities! Mimi is the athletic one, and Drogo is more laid back. Hobbies include: devouring squash salads, doing push-ups, and climbing up your sweater and onto your head.

Pacific Tree Frogs
Frogs!
Our frogs were born and raised in the workshop, having hatched from eggs we found at a local pond. Their hobbies include: trying to escape from their terrarium, eating crickets, and camouflaging.

Blue Tongued Skink
Maurice
Named after one of the workshop's first supporters, Maurice has lived with us for almost 30 years! He could be accused of having a grumpy disposition, but he really loves to cuddle. Hobbies include: laying on your forearm, and eating anything you'll give him from your lunch (chicken, egg, strawberries...)

Guinea Pigs
Randy & Prince
Fan favorites Randy & Prince are the most requested animals in the workshop! Their hobbies include: squeaking when they hear the fridge door open, eating carrots, and being held by students!

Pink-Toe Tarantula
Tarantula
No, it's not a manicure-- this tarantula has pink toes! He's so fast that he's not ideal for handling, but he's great to observe. Hobbies include: eating crickets, molting, and climbing as high and fast as he can.

Corn Snakes
Gandalf, Blanca & Orinoko
Our smallest but quickest snakes -- all different and vibrant colors. Their hobbies include: curling into their box hides, slithering up your sleeve, and catching mice!

Russian Tortoise
Shelly
Honorable mention for her long-time service: Shelly lived at the workshop for 30 years! She has since retired to live with staff member Natalie after the two became close. Her hobbies include: doing parkour in her terrarium, eating flowers, and taking warm baths.
