This handsome boy is my current socialization project! His name is Grayson, and he is a Gargoyle gecko. He has done quite well with me and will hang around on the back of my shirt, up on my shoulders, or even in my hair for hours comfortably now. He is less tolerant of improper handling so he is not yet ready to handled by kids but he's doing such a good job so far. I'm a very proud parent of this spicy little darling ❤️

In my hometown, that guy was Ron.

I don’t know what his official education may have been, but I do know that he has been around the block a few times when it came to reptiles.

He once told my father and I a story about how, as a 12-year-old in the 60s, he got “some chameleon eggs for almost nothing, because nobody was very good at hatching chameleons back then and didn’t think they’d be worth raising.” You know who was apparently pretty good at hatching chameleons though, even in the 60s? Ron. As he told it, he had one hell of a time explaining to his parents 1) why there were 60-some-odd baby chameleons loose in the bathroom and 2) what the hell he was going to do about it. He credited “a lot of research about chameleons and,” – he emphasized this – “their native habitat” for his success in not just hatching all those eggs, but also keeping the majority alive long enough to be past the riskiest parts of life and safely rehomed. He then told us he got a license to import exotic reptiles at age 15 – before he could even drive.

I don’t know what all-else Ron did between then and the point at which he “retired” to owning and operating a reptile store with his wife, Donna; but, I do know that Ron’s Reptiles was, if not the best, my favorite pet store of all time.

Ron and Donna ran the store out of their home on the rural edge of town. It was out of the way to get to and inside it was rather cramped and, perhaps expectedly, smelled like reptiles (which is not a bad or dirty scent, but one of coconut husk and aspen shavings and the specific and peculiar musk of shed skin). It was not a very large home and you could see into their livingroom and kitchen through one of the rooms; I got to meet their dogs over the small gate they had set up so they could easily move between the two when their scattered customers showed up. In this not-very-large home the two front rooms were the two officially open to the public during business hours.

As you would walk in the front door you’d be met with a shallow hallway, with primarily merchandise – enclosures, decor, packaged foods – and their living area to the right and the majority of animals to the left. Both rooms were fun to explore and most – if not all – of their own animals were also out on display, with name-plates and descriptions on their enclosures instead of sale-prices. Even more fun could be had, though.

Because, if they weren’t too busy and you asked nicely, both Ron and Donna were always happy to give you a reptile experience.

They might open up some of the adult, breeding animals’ enclosures and introduce you; because every one had a name and a story. They might give you some lettuce and let you feed the huge sulcata tortoises or the puppy-dog rhino iguana. On extra special occasions, they might let you in to see the eggs and newest hatchlings in the back, or take you outside to tour the rodent sheds.

And, of course, Ron’s Reptiles could also be hired for those ever-memorable reptile parties and classroom talks.

Every interaction I ever had with Ron – at his store, the local reptile show (which he founded, btw), or one of his educational talks – it was crystal clear exactly how very much he loved reptiles and how excited he was for the opportunity to share his knowledge and experiences and joy with anyone and everyone. He was even once on the front page of the Wall Street journal talking about his snakes.

Ron’s Reptiles closed a few years ago – Ron was having a tough time running everything by himself after Donna passed. He moved to Arizona not long after – to be closer to his children and grandchildren, I believe – and he let many of his animals go in the process. I don’t know what he’s up to now, but some of his animals are still being used as animal ambassadors in my hometown. Living-torches passed down to a new team of educators working to dispel myths and spread a love of reptiles amongst new generations of children.

Children who will wake up one day and wonder, “who even was that? what were their credentials?”

Snakes might be a hell of a question mark when it comes to what their equivilant for "emotions" are, but DAMN they got personality!!

I ADORE snakes, but I know I’d never be able to properly care for one. So I guess what I’m trying to say is, what are your favourite lil quirks about your snakes personalities?

Ah, I love sharing about my favorite little sillies! :)

Viago the California kingsnake: currently in the middle of his "I'm hungry all the time always" phase. Whenever another snake is getting fed, he literally presses himself against the wall and stares at us the entire time. It's like he's going "hey. hey. don't forget to feed Viago. I'm starving over here!"

Wonambi the Children's python: loves glasses. Makes a beeline for your glasses every time you hold her.

Bentley the boa constrictor: is convinced he's allergic to quail but will happily eat it IF I scent it with something else first. If another snake is getting quail and he can smell it, he'll refuse to eat until he can't smell it anymore. It's ridiculous. I keep a lot of feeder quail in my fridge (they're good variety for a lot of snakes) so I'm sure he thinks he's getting a lot of variety because I scent them with everything from lizard to fish for him. He's picky but he's easily tricked.

Stede the Trans Pecos ratsnake: loves climbing so much and is the worst climber I've ever seen. Legit I have given this snake neurological evaluations because he's so clumsy it actually concerned me. He loves climbing and exploring and he's got a great attitude! He's just bad at it.

Sirius the hognose snake: scared of phones.

Miriam the ball python: really likes watching musicals with me. She'll watch the TV absolutely enraptured the whole time.

AJ the rainbow boa: HATES musicals. Will happily sit with me and watch literally anything else. He also hides every time I'm playing music while cleaning. My man does not like music.

Ed the Mexican black kingsnake: scared me to death a few days ago because he started tail-rattling and I couldn't figure out what was wrong. He's the chillest snake in the world so I was really concerned. Turns out he was seeing the reflection of a doorknob in the glass of his enclosure and he thought it was a predator coming to eat him. He's a pretty visual snake and he gets startled by shiny things pretty easily.

Claudia the Japanese ratsnake: is really into vacuums. You turn a vacuum on, and she wants to be there. She loves them.

Last Cartridge of Insulin

This is an URGENT REQUEST as I cannot go a day without insulin. Currently I am unemployed through no fault of my own. I do not have insurance so I will have to use GoodRx. My insulin is called Afrezza. It costs around $450-$490 depending on the pharmacy I go to.

Goal: $450

CA: $HushEmu

PP: emuslayter@gmail.com

Currently I cannot drive because my only pair of perscription glasses are broken. So I will also need help with ubers. Please.

I’d like to stress that not taking insulin daily is deadly. This is a medical emergency. Begging for this request to be filled.
