The iridescence of this snake is the closest I'm getting to a purple herp!

I was able to find two herps that could appear as purple in some cases - the mwanza flat-headed rock agama & southern spotted velvet gecko

Sandman’s post on Twitter regarding “mo” も.

And here is the lis:

Text below:

The title of the chapter is *mo も* in Japanese. It is probably the most difficult title to translate, because there are many Japanese words that begin with "mo" (ex. If). Here is a list I came up with related to *mo*. What do you think Vegapunk was trying to say?

and link to the post:

Sandman is Japanese, b comments in English. Oda is very tricky! Amur at Library of Ohara has some good ideas too.

[kuravix]

Ever since time skip Buggy's debut, I've wanted this as official merch. I am hoping that by putting the idea out there, my dream can become reality 🤞

Blue Poison Frog (Dendrobates tinctorius) "azureus", family Dendorbatidae, found in Suriname

Once considered a distinct species, D. azureus, it is now generally considered to be a regional color morph of the Dyeing Poison Frog, D. tinctorius, though some herpetologists consider it to be subspecies.

There are also other populations of blue D. tinctorius, that some in the pet trade and zoos call “azureus”, as well.

Usually, D. tinctorius is yellow and blue, with black markings.
