The world of wild animals is SO much better with a special human like TIM..... Thanks Tim, I'm SO glad caring and dedicated individuals like you exist!

[@intorainbowzOG]

Rip Atomic Betty. Her sheen is one of the most beautiful things I've seen.

[@SupportMensMentalHealth]

They are beautiful, especially when they've just shed their skin, they just glisten rainbows all over.

[@Theatress09]

I know all the humans meant well. But I can’t help but feel that Betty was in pain and uncomfortable through out the whole man-handling and journey to and from the vet.

[@SwampDonk3y923]

You know an animal is big when they say be careful there's only four of us

You gave me a huge smile today with your post!

Canadian 🇨🇦 here. That looks like a hummingbird but bigger than the hummers I used to get at my old home. I moved into an older home, built in the 1980’s. Needed a huge overhaul on my large yard and as well in the house. I wanted to learn what plants, shrubs and flowers to lure butterflies & my favourite hummingbird, the Ruby Throated Hummingbird. Each year there is a huge migration from South America up to the Maritime Provinces of Atlantic Canada. There are maps online where you can follow the yearly migration of this pretty bird. So I chose all bell or trumpet shaped plants and shrubs for them. I already had many sugar feeders but having to wash and fill these feeders daily to every second day was timely plus rather costly in sugar…. You never put red food colouring in their food as it is poisonous to them. In the evenings, my Liam, my fur baby a Golden Retriever would sit on the deck and watch the hummers come to feed they would buzz around your head even. Have to say my boy was very gentle with them, and admire but no attempt to catch one. Their nests are very, very teeny tiny and well, their eggs are as well. You have many beautiful colourful birds there as well. One almost looks like a little parrot.

I Love Atomic Betty. Just Googled and sadly she passed in October 2016 from old age.

[@carolgibson-wilson4354]

RIP beautiful girl.

[@technobabe6718]

At least she died of natural causes and she lived her best life.

[@andycontento3563]

Totally agree. 👍👍

She was a beautiful snake even tho I am scared of snakes

It’s so adorable watching Tim interact with the animals

[@GrafindeKlevemark]

I do so love Tim's love for reptiles and other animals; his enthusiasm, his energy !!! I once had a chameleon in Kenya when at boarding school (300 miles from home). I saw its birth and its brothers and sisters - they arrived neatly packed in what looked like plastic bags. Their mother completely ignored them, so being a big softy, I adopted one to take home. The journey was long and at one point I fell asleep and forgot about ""Dozy". On arrival, my parents were waiting and when I went to see them my mother screamed - she saw I had a strange animal sitting happily on my school hat. Dozy became a family pet which we took round the house to feed him - he ate all the flies and other insects - better than any insecticide !!!!

[@pactanimated2580]

You have absolutely no clue how much I had to try and not to scream from all the adorableness

[@elsakopp7457]

Tim, I’m so sorry I’ve not seen programs like yours 50 years ago or earlier. I just LOVE seeing you with your care and love for the wild animals. I train the magpies in the park and the black bird couple in my courtyard. I’ve NEVER been bombed by my Maggie’s

[@keepcalmyouexist358]

Tim is always so excited to share any tidbit of information he has and he does it in such a fun way. His kids must know everything about every animal their dad has come in contact with ever.

With you on that one EmJay . I thought they had ultra flexible bodies that would make them 'fracture proof' . Jokes apart , my prayers are with the old girl .

If something falls on it or applies to much pressure I believe

[@bigbiemacaw]

@@SwampDonk3y923 pity they didn't say but that makes more sense than what I was thinking, cam a snake even get themselves in a knott

[@aquabluerose7734]

I'm gonna guess she fell while climbing, or maybe a tree branch or something fell on her in the enclosure

[@muurrarium9460]

Usually: handling ;P (or being hunted, getting hit by a car, falling out of trees due to rotten branches, of breaking parts of their enclosure (this girl was *heavy!*), getting brittle bones as a result of a poor diet or just plain old age, sometimes a result of ca.tumors //sorry the youtubethingy will not accept the name of the disease//).

[@kathybradbury]

What’s the bright red on the spines of the male achidna? Was he attacked or did he injure himself? Or was he sprayed with red paint to differentiate him from the other?

i love watching animals eating. i mean, here they are eating this stuff, whatever it is, and it makes them live and grow. and i think what an incredible thing that is. have you ever gone long enough w/o eating and you feel literally weak? then you eat something (healthy) and feel much better! i know quite a bit about digestion and nutrients and where they go in a biological system and it still gets to me! how do rhinos and hippos get so big and really muscular eating grass!? it’s amazing. 🌷🦘🐢🐶🐘🦍🐊🦏🐢🦛🐈🐕🐋🌷
