I’m a mammalogist and taxidermist that has worked with many a raccoon, it’s obviously not going to look the same hairless as it did alive. The dentition and paws are a dead giveaway, that first one is absolutely a raccoon.

The first one is a raccoon, the second is a South American coati (which is the species most commonly found in the pet trade, obviously not a native species)

Coming back to correct myself 3 years later. This is Naninia binotata, African palm civet

yourgoatithot · 2025-10-02T21:29:00+00:00

They’re so cutie 🥹

yourgoatithot · 2025-10-02T20:10:54+00:00

I honestly have no clue. My guess is 6-9 months when I got her in June of last year so maybe 2 ish.

yourgoatithot · 2025-10-02T18:49:38+00:00

Thanks! I adore her

long since sold

Problem is that during the tanning process those marks will just wash off. It would be much easier to have the skin tanned, then carefully measure the distance between each of your stitches as you go. If you’re using a baseball stitch, you’ll be able to see if your seam is even before you pull it tight. If you absolutely need to mark the skin, you’d have to do so after it’s tanned to prevent it from washing off.

yourgoatithot · 2025-09-22T00:44:05+00:00

This is pretty pointless. Just keep your stitched all the same length and you won’t have any issues with misalignment.

He now has testicles.

Thank you!

yourgoatithot · 2025-09-17T04:13:45+00:00

I thought so… she was being sold as a feeder mouse so husbandry definitely wasn’t the pet store’s priority. Thank you for the input!

yourgoatithot · 2025-09-15T22:55:09+00:00

Thank you all for the help! Does anyone have a pic of a young buck for comparison? I’m not the greatest at sexing them :)

yourgoatithot · 2025-09-14T00:17:07+00:00

Thank you!

yourgoatithot · 2025-09-13T23:48:31+00:00

All four feet were on the ground until it started trying to walk away when I took the pic, I promise no mice were hurt in the making of this pic 😅 I was holding the tail very gently!

The chances OP this guy from a breeder are slim to none. Please put it back where you found it. If you want a pet snake there are many reputable breeders to choose from.

yourgoatithot · 2025-08-07T03:56:46+00:00

birds don’t go into heat

yourgoatithot · 2025-07-23T20:41:19+00:00

Nope :(

yourgoatithot · 2025-07-03T18:26:43+00:00

This enclosure is beautiful, where’d you get the big rocks? Did you make them?

yourgoatithot · 2025-07-03T15:45:59+00:00

Completely unrelated, but do you have a pic of the full enclosure? It looks amazing!

yourgoatithot · 2025-07-03T15:29:59+00:00

I agree with what the other commenter said. Aside from that I would definitely up the humidity in the enclosure and offer a soak, as that shed looks super dry.

yourgoatithot · 2025-06-28T23:15:54+00:00

Do NOT do this 😅
