The other day Isabella left to head to the nature center. When she arrived, she got a badge and got to sign in– she hadn’t been there since the beginning of summer due to them hosting summer camps. She said hi to all the animals, then misted and cleaned the enclosures. Mystery the water snake had become less shy. The cockroaches were getting a new, larger home, so they could have babies!

Bertha and Dzilla the turtles were both sick–Dzilla has breathing problems, and Bertha has a chronic shell infection. They were both in their “medical tanks” recovering.

The amphibians all got fed, and Spot the salamander took a while to find because he has developed a habit of burying himself in the dirt.

Then she came home, and I was very glad she did. I’m just worried because now I know she’s still going there…
