Fun development with my dog Bilbo! When he's being naughty, I often tease him by calling him a criminal. I speak Hebrew at home and in my personal life and whatnot, and the word I specifically use is עבריין. It's a word with a bit of an old-timey sound to it, and it kinda has a connotation with organized crime and the like, and it's just generally a funny word to apply to a dog who's biting the couch.

Well, apparently I do it more than I thought, because he's started responding to it with absolute glee, just like when you use his name.

So basically I'm just like "stop! Delinquent! Ruffian! Rapscallion!" and he's like "yeah that's me! We're talking about me!"

My little zeeba finch, Bruce, is 8 years old this month! He's a smart, funny, vocal guy who enjoys nest-building, afternoon naps, and prefers the company of other male birds. His mate Walt sadly passed and it's been a challenge finding him a new partner, so he's currently paired up with Chickenbutt the male lavender waxbill who is okay being preening pals and snuggle buddies at naptime but is not himself gay.

Here's Bruce and Chickenbutt getting ready for a midday siesta.

I actually got a bit fired up about python morphs and now have a strong desire to share some videos about ball pythons in no particular order. Hope it will be helpful and/or entertaining!

1) "21 Ball Python Morphs with Problems!" from a ball python breeder Chris Hardwick. [posted 19.02.2020]

youtube

It is a video from a breeder standpoint, so some morphs he lists have problems with breeding but not, well, being a snake (desert ball python, for example).

2) "WHAT TO LOOK FOR WHEN BUYING A BALL PYTHON (And where to look)" by Jossers Jungle [posted 15.07.2017]

youtube

General tips of getting a snake from an afab snake enthusiast

3) "Should You Get a Baby or Adult Ball Python?" by GoHerping [posted

youtube

An important question to consider. The owner of the channel is not a breeder, but had/has a reptile rehabilitation place "Emerald scales".

4) "Ball Python, The Best Pet Reptile?" from Clint Reptiles [posted 08.09.2017]

youtube

Ball python rating from snake enthusiast and herpetologist from Utah.

5) "How to Care for Ball Pythons!" by Snake Discovery [posted 11.09.2018]

youtube

Helpful video by snake rehabilitator and breeder. I think she is one of the best snake keepers on YouTube. Definitely recommend to check the whole channel out!

6) "Lethal Ball Python Combos Part 1" by Raphy Martinez [posted 18.04.2011]

youtube

This one... More niche than others, but might be interesting to watch and definitely something I don't want to be lost. The most talkative guy here is Kevin from NERD, considered somewhat of an expert. He appears at New England Reptiles channel, check it out )

7) "PICK THE BEST PET SNAKE - SNAKE CARE GUIDE" by New England Reptiles [posted 25.04.2019]

youtube

The man himself. The legend.

hello! I've decided to take another little tumblr break. I've been super busy with school. I've been having a hard time just keeping up with pet chores recently and tumblr isn't my top priority. When I come back I believe I'm gonna rethink my posting schedule because it seems to not currently be sustainable, alternatively I might make some of my posts smaller and do more photo dumps of the kids or maybe a single fun fact in a post. I have some reblogs queued up. I'm going to be not posting excluding those for a few weeks. Hopefully over spring break I'll queue up some posts and get started again! I really love the reptile community here. I may not be a big account but I really appreciate the support, every like and reblog makes me smile <3 I will likely still be infrequently checking tumblr so I'll still reply to comments, DMs and maybe ask bin :)

I know you're a snake blog, but I saw you mentioned sugar gliders as being unethical to keep - is that because of their social needs, or is there something else about keeping them in captivity that's unethical? (Just curious - I googled the question but the most immediately relevant result is from an ARA org that opposes keeping animals in captivity ever, for philosophical reasons.)

No worries, I can still help with this question!

The main issues with sugar gliders are that it's nearly impossible to meet their social and dietary needs in a private home. In the wild, they live in large social groups, so unless you plan on getting like fifteen of them, they're not going to get the social structure they need to be healthy and happy. They're nocturnal, so it's difficult for a human keeper to provide that companionship. Their diet is also complex, costly, and notoriously commercial diets marketed for them will often kill them if that's all they get. In the wild, they largely eat eucalyptus gum and nectar. That's difficult to provide.

There are other things - they need large, open enclosures that you just can't buy, they're very fragile and can easily get hurt, and they're messy - but the bottom line is they're just bad pets. They tend to suffer in captivity from isolation, poor diets, and inadequate housing, and that's even without considering how buying one often supports the illegal pet trade.

Definitely animals that belong in the wild and in accredited zoos.

Thoughts on Crab Day

I support this idea and I'll be participating on July 29th.

I see a lot of folks saying things to the effect of, "don't reward Tumblr for making things worse/not listening to their userbase/not adding features I need-want-like." I also see a lot of posts saying that the organizers of Crab Day are TERFs, neo-Nazis, and/or ultraconservatives.

While I agree that TERFs and Nazis (neo and paleo) need to be yote into the sun, whoever started this idea was not wrong about the site needing money to continue operating. Tumblr is a business. That's how businesses work.

Now, they can get money from advertisers and monetization partners, or they can get it from users. If they get it from advertisers/investors, those parties have the opportunity to weigh in on features they think will generate more revenue... like Tumblr Live... which is objectively trash. Tumblr Live is powered by LiveBox, an add-on service provider that enables sites to host live streaming content to generate revenue. Tumblr is also trying to attract users from the X-Twitter exodus by making the interface more familiar to these users. Was this a bad idea? Yes. It's a desperate attempt to attract more users so as to increase ad views and generate more revenue. But, remember, Tumblr is a business. That's how businesses work.

For YOU (and me!), Tumblr is a community. It's a platform for our art. It's a meeting place for friends and like-minded individuals. It's a safe space for self-expression. It's the last mostly-unmonetized bastion of social media in a landscape dominated by influencers, hustlers, and data-miners. For TUMBLR STAFF, Tumblr is a service that they are trying to sell so that they can obtain money that they can then exchange for food, housing, repayment of student loans, etc. If they can't afford those things by selling you their services, then they will literally go do something else. Yes, Tumblr is indeed a business and not just a passion project. That's how businesses work.

So by buying things directly from Tumblr, like a $3 crab-summoning gift, and especially as part of a coordinated effort like Crab Day and/or Crab Week, you are telling Tumblr Staff that YOU are a CUSTOMER, not just a monetizable data point. We are, in a very distant sense, establishing ourselves as a body of influence. If Tumblr sees that we can and will do this en masse, they are more likely to treat us as contributors and potentially shareholders who need to be kept happy. We each have a vested interest in the continuation of this site, and we have a rare opportunity to show the specific value of that interest.

Also, for those who want more accessibility tools, this is a great way to get those implemented. Accessibility for web applications is a big, big business and toolkits and training for accessibility standards tend to cost quite a lot. Training for a single accessibility plug-in toolkit can cost around $2000 per user*. That's about 667 crabs. By participating in Crab Day, even just a little bit or even just spreading the word about it or even just allowing others to participate as they please without pitching a ragequit tanty about it, you can tell Tumblr staff that you're here as a customer, your voice needs to be heard, and your needs are important.

If this doesn't work, and Tumblr doesn't take their userbase seriously after we make a concerted effort to support them, then please by all means go back to whatever version of complaining makes you feel most satisfied. But just for now, let's try something new!

*based on actual costs of a web accessibility training program offered by the agency for which I work
