I checked your FAQ and didn't see this question, so sorry if I missed it. I've been considering getting a reptile for a little while now, but now that I'm getting more serious about it, I realize I have no idea what a good introductory reptile would be. I know I don't want any of the usual snakes, because they seem to get to be at least 3 ft in adulthood and I don't have that much space. Something that could be happy in a 24” x 18” x 18” tank... Thoughts? What are good resources to learn from?

SAND BOA SAND BOA SAND BOA SAND BOA 

I mean

Male sand boas and male rosy boas will stay quite small. I love both of them and they’d both be happy in a tank that size; they have low humidity requirements and so you don’t have to worry so much about the tank being kinda dry. They’re both relatively docile (my sand is super sweet, my rosy seems a bit feistier and faster) and are easy feeders and tolerant of handling. If you want to go for snakes, either of those is a great bet. Their husbandry demands aren’t super demanding, either, and they stay really petite. I really love both of them, but usually sand boas are a little easier to get hands on. I’ve met a lot more sand boa breeders than rosy boa breeders. 

As far as good resources, asking keepers what they do is one of the best things you can do. Books go out of date, so getting a lot of opinions from different keepers will help you weed out good info and care practices from not so good ones!

Do you have, like, a gofundme or even an amazon wish list? People (read: me) could be sending you paint! Or food money. Or like. Presents? If you would be down.

T.T that is so sweet but I’d have to ask my mum about all that stuff. I think you need a bank account to do some of that and I don’t have one of my own. I’m still using the paint I got for Christmas and I only need to do like 2 or 3 more paintings, so I don’t need that stuff in the short term. 

Food-wise, we’re ok cause my nan is always giving us some. Also I walk to/from school now so that saves me like 10 dollars a day during the week which = lunch money. All I’m tryna do right now is get the materials for an enclosure for my bunnies so they don’t have to stay on the porch/ in the cage during the night which is a good sized-area not safe enough from cats etc. Today *fingers crossed* gonna get some of the stuff for it w help from grandparents. Sis got her art supplies w their help. 

Things are better than the other week. We need to get the pump & tank fixed bc we don’t have running water consistently. Also they ‘’cut’’ our wifi but it’s still working for some reason lmao. Maybe if things get worse I’ll definitely consider doing the fund thing. Love you for offering tho.

If your blog was just quotes from Pratchett books, I would...I don't even know. Try to follow you twice?

*squee* If you don’t already, you should totally follow twin-city-ankh-and-morpork  and blackboardmonitor  because they are filling my dash with Pratchett and it’s wonderful.
