the eastern milksnake, Lampropeltis triangulum triangulum!
size: 24” - 36”(60cm - 36cm)
description: Reddish-brown dorsal “saddles” or splotches with black bordering surrounded by tan or white scales, round pupils
habitat: Found in forested areas, rocky hillsides, and near human settlements, especially those abundant with rodent activity. Can be found crossing roads at night and underneath rotting logs or damp trash
behaviors: Small teeth and delicate jaws, captures and constricts prey with its jaws around it. Mostly feeds on rodents, but will also eat other snakes - including venomous ones!
fun fact: they get their common name from the myth that they suck the milk out of human and cow mothers, as theyre commonly found in barns. this isnt true at all, though! snakes dont drink milk!
when out and about, keep in mind the saying "red on yellow hurts a fellow, red on black's a friend of jack"! these guys are adapted to look like the venomous coral snake, but are totally harmless - check where the red saddles touch! hope you enjoy B)
Acanthocephala terminalis! a species of leaf footed bug, member of hemiptera which comprises true bugs! to clarify, the term "bug" is broadly used to generally describe any sort of invertebrate, but its actual definition(at least in terms of taxonomy) refers to guys like these! other examples include cicadas and stinkbugs!
this is Tipula disjuncta, a species of crane fly! i dont know much about crane flies or flies generally, but these are really pretty. this one is a female, though - you can tell by the black coloration and yellow patterns!
will try to find more bugs soon! hope u guys like these B)
size: 24.02”-55.12”(61cm - 140cm)
description: darkly colored scales with square blotches down the back and sides; white belly
habitat: found near and within any permanent bodies of water(lakes, ponds, streams, rivers). Can be found on land near their aquatic home, sometimes under logs, rocks, and boards
behavior: scavengers and carnivores, will eat most small creatures that can be found near water. Known to herd fish towards shores to eat many at a time, and will swallow prey whole instead of constricting or immobilizing first
writing snake profiles for my zoo that i volunteer at!! if anyones curious, give a number 1-16 and ill show the snake profile for that number! they consist off common and scientific name, size/size range, habitat, and behaviors for predation and defense!
im a little and this is my agere blog, ill post art and agere-related stuff here like art, snacks, plushies, and gear. this is mostly themed around vampires(particularly alucard from hellsing),and aligning with that theme there may be sensitive content such as bones, taxidermy, and (cartoon/fake)blood. please be advised!!
here are my own personal tags, ill try my best to sort things accordingly:
#centiposting -> for posting centipedes, particularly scolopendra
#dadcard -> anything of alucard that relates to age regression
#plushposting -> posting plushies
#chars gear -> posting agere gear
#herpetoposting -> anything relating to reptiles and amphibians(inverts will be here too)
#chars creatures -> stuff of my own weird animals, either my pets or ones that i find
#bonehill -> vulture culture and taxidermy stuff, (WILL BE LABELED WITH A TW)
#rampage -> rants and vents, usually tame but warnings will be added if necessary
IMPORTANT:
- alucard is a very personal character to me; hes like my own father, and because of that strong connection im non-sharing in that respect. i dont ship myself with him, but selfshippers do make me uncomfortable; please do not follow if you do
- I DO NOT TAG INVERTEBRATES WITH TRIGGER WARNINGS!!! i am heavily against censoring natural parts of our world, thus i do not give trigger warnings for posts with them. also, bugs are my friends!! so please confront your own fears and biases before you interact with my blog <3
- i have never run an agere blog before but i will watch and learn from others to best keep it agere-safe. despite there being some sensitive imagery, this is not a welcoming space for nsfw or profanity. DO NOT INTERACT if your page has 18+ content and/or has heavily vulgar content.
- that being said, there will be imagery of firearms occasionally(as alucard is a gunslinger), as well as some horror elements. please tread with caution if these cause you discomfort!
