Fun Fact: Most reptiles can’t osmoregulate excess salt, unless they’re specifically adapted to possess a salt gland that allows them to excrete salt from their body. Sea snakes, for example, possess a salt gland under their tongue that allows them to expel excess salt from their bloodstream via the mouth. Many other marine or coastal reptiles have similar salt glands. Most terrestrial or inland reptiles, like Mr. C-word the hognose snake pictured above, do not possess a salt gland and excess salt will cause renal failure and death. Too much salt kills reptiles. Please avoid exposing your reptiles to high levels of salt.

A snek by any other name would still be as goofy and great.

I give this guy a hard time on this blog because he’s done just about everything he can to earn his naughty name, but tbh I work really hard to keep him healthy and comfortable and I love him and care for him just as much as every other animal under my roof. Maybe more because of his differentyness. I raise quail in large part for his benefit because he likes the eggs. I buy special Reptilinks in his favorite flavor and scent his rodent dinners with smells he responds to. I bought little dishes just for him to eat from because he sometimes likes to think about food for a while before eating and I don’t want substrate getting on his dinner. I watch his weight carefully because he’s been a problem eater from day one. I’d never give up on him, mistreat him, neglect him, or dump him on someone else just because he’s a hassle or a mess sometimes.

I may make fun of him a lot, but he’ll never know it, even though I do it publicly and don’t hide behind anonymity. Snakes can’t read, don’t internet, and they don’t have external ears. He doesn’t care what we call him, his previous person wanted him named that, and it doesn’t hurt, degrade, attack, or dehumanize anyone.

If anyone really feels that this is still an issue, I’d invite them to contact me directly with concerns. I’m quite friendly and I’d be more than happy to discuss it in a calm and respectful manner.

Floppy trash snake is terrible at eating food, has gross empty puppet body, bugs eyes out while being held, smooshes mushy face against any available surface, is generally unphotogenic.

If he could, C-word would be like a male anglerfish and permanently attach himself to a lady and slowly atrophy into a weird little pouch of male gonads.
