Happy (belated) World Snake Day! 🐍

Yesterday, July 16th, was World Snake Day! This day is especially important to Scales For Success as our founding reptile is non other than Fuego, the corn snake! We hope you take a moment to honor and reflect on the incredible, environmental impact these creatures have on our planet; Fuego, and others like her, will thank you! 😉

Happy Sunday everybody!🦎

It was been a while since we last posted (May 6!) and would like to update you all on how things are going over here at Scales For Success! Follow along if you’d like to hear how things are going! 📥📥

Addressing our largest update first, we have unfortunately lost a couple animals since our last posting.
Mica (our male beta fish) developed dropsy, a condition characterized by fluid build up in the body. Beta fish are very prone to dropsy and though sometimes treatable, will always reoccur. We made the decision to humanely euthanize Mica after his condition seemed to make no improvement.
Additionally, we lost Mushu, our female gargoyle gecko. Mushu became egg bound after laying the first egg of a clutch, causing her to prolapse. She was taken to an exotic vet where she was diagnosed. Given our options, we made the difficult decision to humanely euthanize Mushu as it would be in her best interest.
We will miss them both dearly 🤍

On a brighter note, the rest of our animals are doing great! 🐍
Fuego has grown to be 5’6, recently received a tank upgrade, and is eating wonderfully! 🐁
Buster has been enjoying his usual, laidback lifestyle. Most days, he can be found basking in the warmth of his heat lamp or taking a quick snooze 💤
Finally, Toast is STILL in her hunger strike! We are trying everything we can to convince her the rats are a tasty meal (though we may not think so ourselves 👀). Otherwise, she is drinking and active during the darkest hours of the night!

We are excited to be more active on our Instagram and pages, giving you some awesome Scales For Success content!
If you haven’t already, check out our TikTok page, , where we have been posting content multiple times per week. 🎶

As always, we enjoy your support and we hope you have a wonderful rest of your weekend!☀️

What an incredible week it was for us at Scales For Success! 🐍A few days ago marked the FIRST EVER show AND public show, featuring the keystone of our program, Fuego the corn snake!
On Tuesday, we had the privilege of visiting a local preschool for both the morning and afternoon classes, educating the youth of our community about how neat these creatures are!
On Wednesday, we hosted our FIRST PUBLIC animal education show and what an incredible experience it was! Thank you to Graffiti creative art center for allowing us to use the facility! Please check out all the fantastic pieces and artists down at their shop! Finally, thank you to EVERYONE who showed up and those who generously donations at our events, your support is monumental to our program!

And then… there was one! Let’s meet our final ambassador here at Scales For Success! Make a big splash for Micca (My-cuh)!

Micca is our male, Veiltail Betta Fish (Betta splendens)! Due to his origin, Micca’s age is actually unknown! In arguably the most interesting tale of all our ambassadors, Micca started at a chain pet store where he was later purchased from the university I attend! There, he played a crucial role in observing animal (specifically betta) behavior and responses to various stimuli! Finally, he was rehomed to any lucky STEM student who wanted to give him a loving home and that so happened to be me!
Micca has been with us for a little less than a year and has shown amazing strides in his coloration and health compared to his condition at the pet store! Being the only aquatic ambassador at Scales For Success, he shows how proper husbandry (for one of the most neglected, aquatic pets) can really change their mood and appearance!

How’s everyone’s Saturday going!? Are you ready to meet yet another of our incredible ambassadors here at Scales For Success? Say hello to Buster!🦎

Buster is a 3 year old, male, Northern Blue Tongue Skink (Tiliqua scincoides intermedia)! He was rehomed to us from a local marketplace website back in August of 2024! We are so happy he is a part of our family, even with his inherently grumpy attitude!

Want to see more of Buster and other cool critters? Follow our socials to stay up to date on our journey! We appreciate your support!

Happy Ssssssunday everyone!🐍 let’s meet our second slithery ambassador here at Scales for Success! Say hello to…Toast! 🍞
Toast is the newest additional to our family, only rehomed to us from a marketplace website 2 weeks ago! She is a 2.5 year old Banana Piebald Ball Python and just an absolute beauty!
Due to her being so new, we will give her plenty of time to settle into the change of environment! Once she is settled, she will get a whole tank revamp and will start working to get more comfortable being around large groups of people!
We are so excited to have her as a part of our mission for education! Follow our socials to keep up with her and our other ambassadors’ journeys!

Happy Tuesday everyone! Are you ready to meet another ambassador!? Say hello to our stick insects!🪲 Follow along with their story through the photos above!

This story started when a pair of Pink-Winged Stick Insects (Sipyloidea sipylus) from a local marketplace website were rehomed to us. This pair was later named Twigs and Node!
After some time, we noticed teensy tiny eggs appear all over the tank! We set some aside to see if they would hatch and, by no surprise, they did!
Shortly after their young emerged, both Twigs and Node sadly passed away. Though the original two were gone, we were excited to watch the development of their offspring!
After a bit of growth, the nymphs went off to loving homes! Most notably, we had the privilege of providing a local preschool with a pair! This allowed the children to witness firsthand the transformations and life cycle of these magnificent creatures! It was nothing short of heart warming to provide the opportunity for education and embracement! After all, that’s what Scales For Success is all about!

We hope you enjoyed learning more about our Pink-winged stick insects and the incredible education they have provided for the community! Follow us on our social media platforms to stay up to date with our journey and learn more about cool critters!⛰️ We are grateful you’re here!

Time for our next ambassador introduction!🦎Say a big hello to Mushu!

Mushu is a 5 year old female Gargoyle Gecko (Rhacodactylus auriculatus)! Fun fact: Mushu was named after Mulan’s little dragon friend!🐉 I’d like to think she’s the little dragon on MY shoulder 😉

Mushu was rescued from a marketplace website. She was one of many offspring from a clutch of eggs a local breeder hatched. She was the last of her clutch and did not sell as her coloration and patterning was “not desirable”. We were so glad to add her to the family, regardless of the way she looks! Just look at that face!

We hoped you enjoyed learning a little more about our ambassador, Mushu! Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and/or TikTok to see more!
