Fresh scales on Citrine. Splendid is also in blue so I'm hoping to get them paired up in a week or so. Citrine X Splendid is the only hognose pairing I'm planning for this season!

Plan for the pond landscaping and a little work done this morning before it got too hot! I'm sure it will change a bit and I'll add some more little filler plants but I'm excited to continue working on my VISION. I'm currently doing a sludge removal / water clarity treatment on the pond itself so it will need to just run for several days before I continue cleaning it. There are some rocks in the bottom still that need to come out but I want to clear out most of the goop before tackling that portion of the project. Still hoping to add fish in May! The pond itself really just needs a deep clean and a few plants added and it will be good to go for fish, the landscaping is going to take me longer especially since I'm working more hours at my 9-5 on top of everything I do with Sunfish Exotics! Don't want to promote hustle culture or anything but that's where I'm at rn haha.

Plants added today: peach canna, aloha elephant ear

Plants bought but not planted: dwarf papyrus, red banana

Plants I want to get: a couple arrow arum, bog canna, obedient plant, maybe a native cardinal plant?, hardy water lily, another canna, couple more elephant ears, maybe some more native ferns for the shade?, lemon grass maybe???? Lots lol

Fish I want to add: either orandas or wakins, tamasabas would be amazing if I could find them but I I won't get my hopes up. I'll initially stock 10 and let them grow some before adding more. Considering the size of the pond if I do fancies I could comfortably keep about 15 adults total, but if I do wakins or hibunas I'll keep the number of adults at that 10 level.

Blah blah I'm rambling bye friends!

Very slowly putting together pics of the adult mexican pinesnakes so I can start listing the babies! My baby boy Snap is now longer than I am tall, probably around 6' if I had to guess? Sweet boy.
