Issue #12 - When Life Gets Loud

A midweek check-in from your favorite pink-haired reptile nurse.

The Terrarium

Hey!


It’s almost 2am on a Thursday, and by the time you’re reading this, my partner and I will be closing on our house.


Life has been loud lately, exciting, overwhelming, and a little chaotic, so this week’s newsletter looks a little different. There isn’t one featured animal or a shiny product spotlight. Instead, this is a keeper check-in.


Because even when life is moving fast, the animals in our care still rely on us to be steady.

Featured Creature

🪞 Feature: The Reptile Room (and the Keeper Behind It)

This week at Sweet Ave Zoo wasn’t about upgrades, additions, or big projects. It was about keeping routines intact while everything else shifted.


Lights still turned on.

Water still got changed.

Feedings still happened.


And honestly? That’s enough.


There’s a quiet kind of responsibility in showing up consistently, especially during big life transitions. Our animals don’t need perfection. They need predictability, stability, and calm.



✨ Keeper Note: During major life changes, consistency matters more than upgrades. If your animals are fed, warm, hydrated, and secure, you’re doing right by them.

Me and Tonya, my Pink Toe Tarantula, just because.
Me and Tonya, my Pink Toe Tarantula, just because.
Not every week needs to be impressive.
Not every phase needs to be optimized.
Sometimes the best keeping is just steady hands and familiar routines.

Thank you for being here, for caring, and for giving space for the human side of keeping too.
From my zoo to yours, stay hydrated, feed your bugs, and check your basking temps.
💚 Kasey

Better late than never? (Plus: Feets the Tarantula!) 🕷️

  On Wednesdays We Wear Scales  A midweek check-in from your favorite pink-haired reptile nurse. Hey! I have a confession: I completely forgot it was Wednesday yesterday. Between staring at my new ring, trying to remember what day of the week it is post-vacation, and catching up on all the "Zoo Business" I missed while in Asheville, my internal calendar is officially broken. I’m blaming Engagement Brain. But honestly? Sometimes the best schedule is the one that allows for a little chaos. If you’ve ever forgotten to mist your enclosures until 11 PM or realized you’re out of feeder insects on a Sunday night, just know, I am right there with you in the trenches of forgetfulness. Featured Creature: Feets the Curly Hair Speaking of things that are patient with my busy schedule, let’s talk about Feets, my Curly Hair Tarantula (Tliltocatl albopilosus). If you want an animal that won’t hold a grudge when you’re a day late on an update, get a tarantula. Feets is the ultimate low-maint...

The tarantula that started it all... 🕷️💙
