Polydactyl!? What is that?!

Polydactyl

Cats normally have 18 toes, 5 toes on both front and 4 on the back paws. Some cats have a genetic abnormality that can be passed down from parents. It’s called Polydactylism. Ernest Hemingway was a big fan of these kitties, giving them the name “Hemingway’s Cats.”

This little black kitten has a total of 32 toes! She has found her forever home already but we wanted to share and educate you on the feline anomaly. It’s quite unique and gives this kitten more character than we thought possible for such a tiny critter.

She’s adventurous and fears nothing.

Legless Lizard

leglesslizard1 leglesslizard2

A Legless Lizard is a peculiar creature. It looks like a snake, right? Well it’s not!

These guys can be distinguished from snakes by looking for external ear openings, eyelids and the longer tail (where snakes have very short tails).

They can grow as long as 3 feet! Food for these guys range from small mammals and bird eggs to invertebrates.  These guys are still able to lose their tail like other lizards too! Don’t worry if your Legless drops it’s tail. It will regrow.

Next time you’re surfing the web, check these guys out. X-rays show remnants of hipbones from a time when these guys could have had legs!

 

Come see our Legless today! Maybe it will find it’s forever home with you!

What’s A Tokay Gecko?

.facebook_-1154501702 .facebook_-30071062

A Tokay Gecko is one of the largest Geckos in the world. Their name comes from the unique vocalizations they make during mating season or when startled.

These guys can be very territorial and aggressive, but make great ornamental pets for intermediate owners. Most Tokay’s you find in your local pet stores are wild caught.

Their diet consists mainly of insects or other small invertebrates, but they can eat small mammals as well! If it fits in it’s mouth… it’s food.

Tokay Geckos can be tamed but it takes time and patience… and iron fingers.

Come down today to see our selection of Tokays and many other geckos!
