2023 Halloween funny moments.
Bit of a different kind of post than normal, but I just wanted to share with the world.
I answer my door each year on Halloween (In the UK) with my many, many animals (snakes, lizards, spiders, ect), and these are some of the best responses I've gotten to each animal this specific year:
With pictures!
So trigger warning for snakes/lizards/cockroaches/tarantulas.
Lizard (Bearded dragon) (adult)
- Is that a gecko?
- Oh mum look, it's a... it's... a dinosaur?
- Oh wow, that's cool. It's a Komodo lizard thing, right?
- Mum! Mum look! He has an armadillo-thingy!
- Oh my teacher used to have one of those. It died, I think.
- It licked me IT LICKED ME I'M GOING TO DIE
- Oh my God it's ACE, HI ACE I KNOW YOU (People know my lizard more than me..)
~
Snake (Royal 'ball' Python) (adult)
- Holy SHIT
- Get that thing away FROM MEEEE
- Why would you own one of those. Respectfully, Mr.. snake.. owner, sir?
- That's one wicked worm my guy
- Is it a boa constrictor? I know snakes really well.
- I WANNA HOLD IT MUM CAN I HOLD IT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
- I like snakes. They like violence, like me. ("Oh, actually he's very shy and gentle...") I don't like this snake.
- MUM IT'S THE SNAKE MAN! (I'm well known in these parts as the 'reptile man' haha)
~
Snake (Hognose snake) (adult)
- Why can't I hold this snake? ("Because he's very mean. He eats children") *cries* ("Only bad children, I promise!") *cries harder*
- He's ginger! Ewwww!
- He's very small... But it's the personality that counts, hey mate?
- It's a cornsnake! With a.. oh. It's nose is deformed. Was it inbred?
~
Tarantula (Nhandu Chromatus/Brazillian Red 'n' white) (adult)
- FUCK NO. FUCK. NO.
- PISS OF YA DAFT CUNT (To the spider, not me... I think?)
- Is it fluffy? Like a dog, I mean. It looks spiky, like a hedgehog.
- Can I hold it? ("No, I'm sorry, they're fragile) Wow I've been lied to I thought they were tough as hell.
- You, yeah both of you, you've got issues.
- It looks like a Tony or something. Is it called Tony?
- That fuckers bigger than my face, you feed him fingers or something?
~
Tarantula (Brachypelma hamorii/Mexican red knee) (baby)
- Oh my God... You know what? That's kind of cute.
- Mum, can we get one? "Fuck no, Tyler."
- It's... what exactly does it do ("Nothing?") well that's boring.
- It at least looks cuter than the house-spider I let stay in the corner of my room. He's called Terry.
~
Madagascan hissing cockroaches (adults)
- Why would you own these.
- Oh these are those hissing ones... Why aren't they hissing?
- It bit me ("It's just her legs holding on") damn gurl you got some daggers on your feet
- Can I steal them
- Can I eat them
- Can I take a selfie with them?
- What are their names? ("Oh they're named after Mario princesses-") DAMN where's Princess Peach? PEACH?? PEACH WHERE ARE YOU?! (Don't worry, he found Peach, Peach is the third one. Yes, I can tell them apart)
~
Just a small reminder that I am an actual professional with these animals and I don't recommend doing this for Halloween unless you know what you're doing and, more importantly, know your animal (especially with tarantulas!).
I did not let any child or adult hold my tarantulas nor my hognose (They're venomous, even if it's a small dose, allergic reactions may occur), and I know my python well enough to know he'll never strike, same with my beardie.
These are, also, not the only animals I have. I have thirteen in total :)
Just a lil notice! All fun though! Hope you enjoyed!

"Viserys' Last Stand"
2022,
A little tribute to my favorite House of the Dragon character. I wholeheartedly agree with the consensus that Paddy Considine's portrayal of King Viserys vastly surpasses his counterpart in the book. He infused the character with a sense of tragedy and sadness, but also unexpected strength and dignity that was an absolute delight and a privilege to watch. I shall miss him.

LOL my trans son and I were talking to my mami on the phone just now about him going over there this weekend, and he just found out one of his cousins changed his name and is now gender-fluid. My kiddo was like, “I’m sorry, Grandma, I infected him!”
And Mami, in a straight and serious tone said, “Oh don’t worry honey, I think it was the DnD.”
We about died laughing.
