My son is blue <3

I don't know if all snakes get this or if it's just a hognose thing but the day before his eyes go fully blue, the black patterning on his underside does. It goes away by the time his eyes turn blue, which I've always wondered why.

[scoriarose]

Getting ready to get smooth. Oracle time. As long as their eye caps are part of their shed skin it's all good.

They shed their tongue skin too, and that isn't sync'd up to their scale skin shedding time.

My Scoria has a checkered tummy too, but her tail isn't black underneath.

There has to be a better way to do this, dude...

Not sure if anyone else knew this, but snakes can be scared of fireworks. This was our 4th of July. I looked over when the neighbors were setting them off, and she was right here, watching me.

I opened the front of her enclosure. She didn't want out, just wanted to be close and see me. A lot of people wonder why their snakes just stare at them. Aside from the same reason we stare at them, if your snake trusts you, you are their barometer for what is going on in the world, and what you do, how you act, tells them exactly what is going to affect them.

Sakura smelled a lot of strange smells, and very loud bangs that lasted for over two hours. She didn't understand it, didn't know if this was something that might alter her life going forward. So she looked to me, the one who probably knew and always made things okay again. I spent two hours as we watched stupid videos together, talking softly to her, reassuring her everything was fine.

I didn't realize the explosions stopped until she lifted her little head and put herself to bed. When you see your snake staring at you? It could mean a lot of things. But many times, they're looking to you to invite if everything is okay. And for my girls? That's enough.

Chocolate Chip says hi from under my knitting! He was exploring my desk after cuddles a few weeks back. He's shedding right now so I don't have a current picture of him awake and not a zombie, lol.

This is what a cultured young man looks like.

I have questions about this spider.

My child going though the tube that paints patterns on her.

Giggling in sister!

She's just like this.

Was no one gonna tell me about the arctic lucy? Was no one gonna tell me we have glass hognoses? Is this what I get for dismissing arctic whenever I go window shopping?? I can't even imagine what a super arctic luce must turn out like. This dude just popped into the world lookin like a finely carved quartz figurine, what the heck man is that even allowed
