A Covid 19 Update

I have decided to resurrect this blog. Unfortunately, with covid I have not been able to work for the parks at the parks or from home and it’s bumming me out. To try to make up for it and keep myself physically and mentally healthy I’ve been trying to go to different parks at least 4 days a week.

I still live with a pond out my front door and with it being spring the baby geese are around. I don’t love their parents but they are cute when they’re little and fuzzy. I just wish they didn’t scream quite so much.

Stay tuned for photos, observations, and more.

I can’t wait until I am back in the park running programs, but it the mean time I’m looking forward to this outlet.

Little dude hiding over at Hell Hollow.

Fall is just starting here at the Bluffs today.

I know I said I’d be better at posting on these blogs. And I haven’t been. These photos are from last years Rock the Block. Silas and I had a great time last weekend together at this years Rock the Block. Unfortunately, it was the last Rock the Block for Silas. Yesterday, I received a message from my dad that when he lost power the fan cut off and didn’t turn back on and my poor bud overheated and passed away. I’m sad and I’m hurting and also I am done with summers. But I want everyone to know how fantastic this burm was because he was one of the greatest snakes to do programs with I have ever had the pleasure to work with. He was gonna be my wedding cake inspiration. Like I said, I’m hurting.

Fun time was had by all at Rock the Block despite the occasional rain patches

So I’ve been gone for awhile but I’m back now. I moved at the beginning of the month and was on crutches so it’s been kind of crazy but now that I’m settled in here’s some cool stuff -I have a pond out front of my new place (not show here but there’ll be posts about it later) -Tiny toads are everywhere! They showed up about a week after my move and seem to be dispersing now but are still around. I’ve seen an adult twice but not been able to photograph them. -I have a pepper plant and a cucumber plant and I’m very excited about this pepper! Hopefully my cucumber plant will grow soon—it’s got lots of flowers but no cucumbers starting yet

I’m really screaming

he was planning on eating the baby 😭

Ok, as a biology major, y’all need to chill. Snakes this big are incredibly docile. They have been bred this way. Furthermore, the person taking care of this animal could not properly take care of them if they did not feed them regularly and well. This child is in no more danger than if she was sitting next to a big dog.

Oh, and on snake yawning, the person above is wrong (SOURCE 1; SOURCE 2)

Please don’t demonize snakes people they’re amazing creatures and clearly this one means no harm

This is almost as bad as that shitty urban legend about the snake “measuring” its owner before eating them

It is also a way to stretch their jaw muscles when they are too tight, and to re-align their jaw if they bump in to something.

These banana babies are sweet

Things i found at work recently

I was really into the signs all over ReptileFest- they all sent home messages of responsibility and the actual challenges of owning different species. Very refreshing- you never see stuff like this at breeder shows (because they want everyone to buy things)!

Another thing i was really into: there was zero gate keeping at this event. Even kids- junior herpers- were demonstrating and educating about animals. The event was super family friendly and accessible, and there didn’t seem to be anything like a boys’ club. Very neat.

Having a bad day?

Remember, you don’t have to take what anyone’s trying to feed you.
