Our bearded dragons were giving us a lot of social signals during their free roam time! 
The one closest “waving” is showing a sign of submission, while the one in the background “bobbing” is showing a sign of dominance. 👋
Bearded dragons use body language as a form of communication. 
How do you like to communicate? 🗣️

We are beyond grateful to be the recipient of a grant from The Marilyn Lichtman Foundation...

"We are happy to once again support the Quogue Wildlife Refuge. With the recent Southern Pine Beetle infestation, our funds will contribute to offset the cost of acquiring their own equipment and help offset labor to keep the acreage safe and preserve habitats."

One of our Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches enjoying a snack! 🥬🥒 These insects are great decomposers, eating organic matter on the forest floor. Think of them as natures cleanup team! 🌟 They break down debris to make food for other plants and animals in their environment.
