I CAN’T HANDLE THE SUSPENSE JUST TELL IS ALREADY

Here’s a clue!

reptiphile said: What would a bioactive sailfin tank look like? O:

first of all, it needs to be BIG; sailfins are large lizards----up to 4 feet long, nose to tail----and are very fond of climbers.  I’d consider the absolute minimum to be 5 feet long, 5 feet tall, and 4 feet wide.  I’d LOVE to have a live water feature too because sailfins are usually found around streams, but that’s probably unrealistic because sailfins usually poop in their water supply. :/  I’ll have to settle for a bin probably.

Shelves are necessary.  Again, sailfins are BIG climbers.  A really common problem with sailfins is noserub so most people feel that there needs to be a barrier over part of their cage so they can’t see out.  I think that a really thick plant cover would achieve this and not look ugly.  So the whole thing would have to be planted to keep them comfy and feeling safe.

They need a high humidity, and high temperature tropical-type set-up: 85-90F in most of the cage, with a hot spot of 115F, so it’ll be tough finding good plants that thrive in those temps.  But I’m sure there’s a way.  I’m thinking dubia roaches might be a good clean-up crew, along with tropical isopods, and springtails.

so basically i want a tiny rain forest with a dragon.

reptiphile said: Holy cow, what could cause something like that? D:

A variety of things, but in this case I’m suspecting it it is due to long term dehydration (over the importation process, flipping), and/or someone tried to medicate her (probably for parasites) when she was already dehydrated which made it worse.

I think we’ll get some blood work done and see how far gone the kidneys are... I’ve mentioned to folks (maybe on tumblr too) that this snake drinks like a fish, always drinking. Hard to undo the damage done before she got here though, but we’ll try.

I thought it would be entertaining to do more inverse images! I ran out of my own ball pythons, so here are some others!

Hey, you<3 Shitrake 4channer aside, I am sorry that such a gross individual turned your passion into something you despise, and I hope that maybe some day you can take hold of that passion again and not have to put up with any shit from some shitbag that has worse comprehension than a toddler and couldn't stand the fact that you told him no. You deserve so much better, and it's a shame. I can only hope that something in your future will give back for the bullshit you've gone through.

Thank you so much <3 

I almost did get to playing music again, and then I got in an accident which set me back again. Maybe the future will bring something different. I haven’t sold any of my instruments, so I’m still trying to remain hopeful.

My first two snakes BOTH pooped on my during their first handling sessions. Jethro was just a little baby and I didn't know how to read snake body language, so I'm sitting on my bed and see his tail wriggling slowly back and forth, so I'm looking at his butt and realize moments too late what's about to happen. Thus was the mad dash between bed and cage, Jethro trailing poo across my bedroom. With my corn, I thought it was so cute that he wanted to be in my shirt. Poop IN shirt, not so much.

oh my goodness what bad luck omg. I just imagine you sitting there staring at his butt tho that’s hilarious

poncho’s first poop on me was when I had just gotten her too and I didn’t know the body language so I saw her wiggling her butt and I was like “well that’s strange” and then OUT IT COMES

You enjoy coffee and the early morning... Does that count as a headcanon? o:

It can XD

I actually prefer tea but I do enjoy coffee and I only like early morning when I am awake through it :3 otherwise those 6:30 wakeups are BRUTAL

But no 5am at Blackford Pond is like my absolute favourite thing on the planet!
