I've come out twice (1st as gay 2nd as nonbinary) where are my two snakes
I had a dream that it became a social norm to buy your lgbt teenager a ball python when they came out of the closet. Like, zero explanation other than queers love snakes.
Hihi snake owners/enthusiasts! One of my corn snakes is 1陆 yrs old and I recently moved him into a bigger vivarium. I've seen a few snake owners putting hammocks into their enclosures and I wanted some advice on how to put one in.
I think Basil would quite like one tbh but I have no idea how to go about it 馃槄 any advice would be great! <3
My favorite sneks are probably a boring answer, but hognoses! I think they're cute, I find their burrowing fun, and the cobra mimicking is neat
Hey, there's no such thing as a boring answer when it comes to your favorite animal! I agree that hognoses are really cute-- their snoots are so boopable. And I had no idea they could imitate cobras!

When people tell me I should hate snakes because "The devil is a snake", I correct them saying that he's a serpent, in which worms are technically serpentine, and worms crawl on their belly and eat dust and poop out their mouths all day.
I love worms too they're so :3 no animals are evil!! they are just existing and doing their best <3
I felt like doing a snake so here, have a banana morph ball python
Also if you ever wonder why the colors look funky in my art, it's because lighting is important!!! And I paint in whichever lighting is most comfortable/tolerable at the moment
Helping my sister as she picks up her lizards from our mother鈥檚 since our mother is moving like four hours away, and the danger noodle is pissed. As is the gecko. Neither are happy to be moved from their tanks. (Sister is cleaning the tanks as I watch the lizards and protecc them from the cats.) Alice, the snake, is giving me the stink eye.
In 3rd grade (1989 or so), my G&T class were given an assignment to each do a presentation on an animal whose name started with a letter assigned by the teacher. There were only like 9 of us but I ended up with X. (In retrospect I figure this was because our teacher knew I was an incorrigible animal nerd who loved a challenge.)
So I hit the books鈥攜es, the actual physical books鈥攁nd in the encyclopedia volume containing X I struck gold: I learned of the existence of Xenopeltis unicolor, the sunbeam snake, and it instantly became my favorite reptile.
It still is today.
And as of earlier this month, I have realized yet another childhood dream and obtained a sunbeam snake of my very own.
This is Aurora. She's very docile. Her scales feel kind of like pleather. And photos do not do justice to how intense and vibrant her iridescence is in person.
