Excuse you, tiniest snake, but you and your sniblings were not due until next week.
You are early and we were not expecting you yet, though we are very happy that you're here.
It's to meet you.

Welcome new followers!
I legit got 1k new followers from that ‘how to cook a snake’ post, so allow me to introduce myself! My name is Laura, Cis woman I go by she/her. Herpetologist and advocate for forward thinking when it comes to keeping reptiles. I’ve been keeping reptiles for 10 years now, and I regularly update my knowledge based on recent research. I specialize in ball pythons but have a fair amount of knowledge on other species as well. My entire life is based around giving my pets the best care I possibly can, and educating people on reptiles. I currently work as a tech in an oil and tire bay as my day job, but I make D&D dice on the side. Now, for what y’all followed for! Allow me to introduce my babies, along with showing off their setups.
This is Dante! He’s the first snake I’ve ever owned, got him 10 years ago and had him since he was only a few inches long. He is a Motley morph Corn snake, incredibly sweet and docile, and very curious. I have him in a bioactive enclosure, I’m still trying to find plants that he won’t destroy though lol. Ignore the dirty water bowl, I gave it a wash after I took the picture
Next up is Thresh! He’s a pinstripe morph Ball Python, hovering around 10 years old, I’ve had him since he was a baby as well. He’s generally slow moving, curious, and incredibly sweet. He is in a basic enclosure, but I plan on swapping him to bioactive in the next few months.
Here’s Leliana! My gorgeous and amazingly sweet Blue Eyed Leucistic ball python (from a lesser/mojave pair). The absolute sweetest snake, she is curious and friendly, one of my best ambassadors! I’ve had her for about ten years, and she remains as my top favorite snake. She is currently in a basic set up, I am unsure if I’m going to put her on bioactive since she doesn’t have any melanin to protect her from light. I may just use gentle plant lights if I do
This is Navi! My high red Brazillian Rainbow boa. She can be a little bit grouchy so I try to keep her handling to a minimum, as to not stress her out too much. When she is out though she is very fast, and wants to explore every nook and cranny she can find. As she’s aged her colors have dulled a bit, which can randomly happen to rainbow boas sometime. She’s been checked at the vet just to be safe and is still perfectly healthy. She is currently in a home made enclosure that is set up to be bioactive
This is Zevran! He’s a bi-colored crested gecko. I swear he has a single braincell that just pingpongs back and forth all day LOL. He is an adorable little goof, very sweet and curious. He fires down the nice light orangish pink you see in the photo, and fires up a nice bright orange color. He’s in a semi-bioactive enclosure, meaning there’s no plants and no UVB tube. I may upgrade him to full bioactive soon.
This is Kitana, my rescue bearded dragon. She is incredibly mild mannered and sweet, and very smart! She will glass surf to tell me when she needs to poop so I’ll take her outside to do her business. She is leash trained and loves outdoor time, and cuddle time. She does the cutest little shimmy to get cozy when I have her on my lap. She is currently in a home built enclosure with a tile base. I don’t know if I’ll swap her to bioactive or not, still on the fence about it. (She does have a water bowl, its just hiding behind the wood in the photo)
This is Aerith, my orange dream fire pinstripe ball python. She’s always hungry, poised and ready to eat any time I enter the room, she’s a little easier to stress out so she’s in her enclosure most the time, but every once and a while she is calm enough to come out and chill on the couch with me. She’s in a basic setup, but as with everyone else I’m gonna try and upgrade her to bioactive.
This is Asriel! My disco/fire (possibly enchi, possibly yellowbelly, which we are trying to prove out this year). I hatched him myself and raised him from the baby, he is incredibly sweet, very curious and super confident. I adore him so much honestly. He’s currently in a bioactive setup!
This is Aurelion Sol! He is a mexican black kingsnake, I think he’s around 12 or 13 years old? I got him when he was already an adult and around 9 years old or so, he’s from the same breeder I got Dante from. When I got Dante, the breeder also showed me baby mexican black kingsnakes that were from this guy and Cassiopeia (who has sadly passed away.) Aurelion is -always- hungry, and will try to catch and eat anything that moves. This photo is a rare occasion where he isn’t trying to eat me. He is currently in a basic set up, not sure if I’m going to swap him to bioactive or not. (he’s on the top shelf so it’s hard to get a pic of his enclosure)
This beautiful girl is Crunchwrap Supreme, a Suma (possible yellowbelly) ball python! My most recently acquired baby, and I already adore her so much. She is a little shy, but so so sweet. Once she is comfortable she is incredibly curious! She’s a fantastic eater, and I can’t wait to watch her grow. She is currently still in her quarantine enclosure, but as soon as she’s out I’ll likely get her set up in a bioactive!
This is Raina! My vanilla fire enchi yellowbelly ball python. I got her from a friend, who got her from @tailsandco (Hi Shelby! Been a while). I had adored Raina since the first time I saw her on Shelby’s blog, and some things happened and she ended up in my care (I am still so grateful like LOOK AT HER SHE’S GORGEOUS AND SWEET). Raina is so, sosososo sweet. She’s Asriels mama, and she’s a little small compared to my other females but that’s just a genetic thing. She eats well, and loves to take naps on the couch while I watch youtube. She’s in a regular setup currently but I want to put her on a bioactive as well!
This is Rhea, he’s a disco/fire ball python. He’s the father of Asriel, and has such a goofy personality. When he’s exploring he regularly goes underneath his own body and then just. Sits there like he’s stuck even when he’s not. He is incredibly sweet and loves to periscope! He’s currently in a basic setup, but as with everyone else, I plan on converting him to bioactive.
This is Tali! She’s a merauke locality scrub python. This species is actually well known for being incredibly bitey (as most arboreal species are), however there are always exceptions to the rule. I picked her out from her clutch mates because in the photos, she was the only one not poised to strike at the camera. That indicated the potential to be a calm, relaxed animal. I worked with her since she was a baby to make her comfortable with me, and trust me. If she turned out to be bitey I wouldn’t have minded, I knew what I was getting into. But the patience and trust paid off, she is the absolute sweetest! I still get her out of her enclosure with a snake hook for safety reasons, but once she’s out I handle her with my hands. She is so, so sweet and I am forever grateful for how much she trusts me. Her, Leliana, and now Crunchwrap are all competing for my number 1 top favorite snake I own. She is currently in a huge bioactive setup! I plan on getting more of the Dracaena 'Marginata' (the tiny palm tree looking thing) soon. This is just the left corner of the enclosure too!
This is Undyne! She’s a Merauke locality Blue Tongue Skink :) She is incredibly smart, not quite on the level of a tegu but pretty close. I’ve been doing choice based handling with her and it’s improved our levels of trust by a ton. She loves crunching on ice, and exploring the livingroom in her play pen. She’s currently in an 8 foot long basic enclosure. Again, I really wanna put her on bioactive but I gotta figure out what plants are safe to be in there in case she wants to munch them. Lol
This is Pharoh! He’s my rescue cat that I found in my front yard when he was a kitten. I found him during the beginning of COVID so we were home together every day for 3 months. He is incredibly sweet, cuddly, and also playful. He’s a mama’s boy, he follows me around the house 24/7 and if I’m sitting, you can bet he’s in my lap. He gets special meals where I put him in the back room so I can safely have my reptiles out, and he doesn’t see it as a bad thing because he gets a big special meal. He even has a giant running wheel to help keep him entertained while I’m at work. He’s such a good little man
I also have a couple spiders, but I don’t want to tag this big post with it so I’ll leave them out and possibly do a post on just them later on. But yeah that’s the family! I pride myself in taking the best possible care of my pets that I can :)

Marathon is a California kingsnake. Normally they have alternating bands of black and white, but my boy is a different morph, or color/pattern genetic mutation.
When I decided that I was finally going to get a snake, I looked for two things: size and species, because I had the tank set up already for those specific attributes. Marathon’s morph just happened to be icing on the cake.
Now morphs can have some pretty wild names, especially when there are multiple in a single animal. “Caramel Miami Pinstripe Motley”, “Mimosa Red Factor Ghost”, etc.
Marathon? Stripe. His morph is just Stripe.
Can’t imagine why.

ANCIENT CHILD OF FROST (2024)
hiiii I did finish this (I post mostly on bsky now)
[img ID: Two six legged, feline creatures with snakes for tails surround the newly found Homotherium cub mummy. There is text above the drawing that reads "you are beautiful and terrifying, child of ancient frost". The character on the left has the pattern of a gold tiger on his right side and the pattern of a tricolor canine on his left side. His right eye is yellow and his right eye is hot pink. His snake's pattern is based on that of a *clown morph hognose snake. The snake's eye is purple. The homotherium cub is in between both cats, in a partially curled position, eyes closed. The six legged feline on the right has a cream colored tiger pattern on her left side and a dark brown tiger pattern on her right side. Her left eye is pink and her right eye is deep purple. Her snake is headless with the pattern of an albino motley boa. Both Gods have their four front legs outstretched towards the cub with gentle expressions on their faces. Their tails cross each other with Elures' keeping its only open eye on the cub. The background is velvet purple with hot pink and yellow scribbles behind the cub. There is a hot pink antler scribble above Hadet (the cream and brown cat) and a yellow antler scribble above Elures (the gold and tricolor cat).
*I cannot find the original image with the morph name. It was either clown or circus themed.]

Happy to say it looks like my unrelated VPI T+ motley girl is gravid by the OT hypo super stripe I produced in '19. Very curious to see what 100% hets look like in comparison.

The Trash Collectors
In a gritty corner of the city, where the alleys are shrouded in shadows and the air is thick with the scent of decay, a band of scoundrels known as the “Trash Collectors” roamed. This motley crew was not your typical scavengers; they were a blend of misfits, each with a distinct background—a disgraced anthropologist, a former journalist, a restaurant manager, and an IT worker. Together, they turned the act of rummaging through other people's discarded belongings into a subversive art form. Their mission was simple yet bizarre: to seek out personal items left behind and use them to construct narratives about the lives of their previous owners. What began as a game quickly morphed into a twisted form of anthropology. They referred to it as “hostile anthropology,” a term that reflected their unorthodox methods and their disregard for traditional ethical boundaries.
Equipped with flashlights and a makeshift toolkit, they scoured the city’s dumpsters and back alleys. Each find was a treasure, a glimpse into someone else's world, and they reveled in the stories these items told. An old table, a graduate ring, a disposable comb, or a lacrosse helmet—all were fodder for their darkly imaginative interpretations.
This one guy "Creemee" "if if" Mimi used to crawl around the trash bins in the office and pick out pens people threw out, and then crush the pens in his teeth with hatred for their writing and their ability to put their thoughts on paper. Then he would dump Nutella into a keyboard with fire in the background while a fireside chat was playing for a webcast live in the background.
This is off-topic, but also present both on and off the webcast was the fat CFO who was getting blown in the very nearby bathroom during the call. He grasp the back of their head with two hands, and force them to gag as would’ve come as a huge shock to all of his investors on the call.
He told the Trash Collectors "You can have anything you want from that pile in that stock in that room over there.”
The Trash Collectors delved deeper into their scavenging and crafted elaborate narratives around each item. Mouses, keyboards, hard drives, and monitors.
Mimi took a mouse, computer mouse, and wrap it around the leg of a desk and tie it to a chair to aggravate a person with the imbued work of a hand. "Ridingo" who was really muscular tugged on the chair, it wouldn’t budge. He tried again, pulling harder. Still, it remained stubbornly in place. Bubbled up inside him.
He glanced around the office, he yanked the chair. He muttered under his breath, his irritation boiling over. He leaned down to investigate, peering beneath the desk. That’s when he saw a mouse cord tied around snaking down to the support beams of the desk and with some almond butter on it too.
The anthropologist would weave tales of heartbreak and resilience, while the journalist would turn them into sensational yet grody stories for an underground blog to torture common preferences and dignity, gaining a following of curious onlookers. The graffiti artist would then transform these narratives into vivid murals, splashing the tales across the city walls, turning the personal into the public.
These trash collectors use their findings as a means to often infiltrate the lives of the people they studied, stalking them online and piecing together their digital and other integrated footprints. Using the hacker’s skills, they dug up social media accounts, hacking into old emails, and gathering more information than any ethical anthropologist would dare to. The thrill of the hunt became not just about the items but the lives behind them. The Trash (Life) Collectors thrived on the controversy, reveling in chaos they created.
In the end, the Trash Collectors and their hostile anthropology raised questions about memory, identity, and the value of personal, personality?, and personal belongings in a disposable world. Through their own lens, they challenged others to confront the narratives that shape their lives, the next piece of discarded history or memory as they themselves at the end and all their crap too will be garbage collected to be done with.

People who think they want a pet sunbeam snake actually want a pet IMG morph boa or a pet macklots python.
They are a very beautiful pet hole (🕳️), though.
(yall do not live on a livestock ranch and you do not want a mainland reticulated python. Even if the motley goldenchild morph IS spectacular)
opinion on the sunbeam snake? they’re so pretty! are they good pets?
Sunbeam snakes are so cool! They're gorgeous, sweet little snakes.
They can also be decent pets, provided you know what to expect. They're not easy to find captive-bred, but they're easier than they used to be. If you want a pet sunbeam snake, you can find a captive-bred baby.
Sunbeam snakes have a reptutation for being very sensitive and prone to sudden death in captivity. This is mostly due to wild-caught snakes. Captive-bred babies are much, much hardier, but these are still snakes who stress easily.
A captive-bred sunbeam snake can be a good pet for an intermediate-level keeper, but I wouldn't recommend them for a beginner. They're not terribly sensitive, but they're not hardy snakes, either. Their husbandry isn't horribly difficult, but they require high humidity that requires diligence to maintain. They're also more primitive than other snake species and can't stretch their jaws as wide, so sizing their meals can be tricky if you don't know what you're doing. These are not pets for an inexperienced keeper.
Also, they're beautiful animals! But they're highly fossorial and you should not expect to see them much, and they're easily stressed and sensitive so shouldn't be handled super frequently.

Just so you know I’m aggressively waiting for my baby IMG motley boa (Burnt Toast) to finally shed so I can show the ‘increasing melanin gene’ in action because it’s such a cool concept that fits with this blog, and not simply because I need a valid excuse to post him and force you to see him with your eyes because I love him and you should too. He hasn’t even gone blue yet, so it might take a while unfortunately.
#mod talk#boa imperator#snake#reptile#selective breeding#boas grow slower than my baby colubrids :c#I could post other IMG boas but then it wouldn’t be my sweet angel baby#to be fair it’s not even been two months yet#he barely pooped last night I’m used to colubrids going once a week#just as a reminder basically an IMG boa slowly gets darker as they shed#and in combination with motley (the circle pattern) it makes for a nearly solid black snake#with iridescence#he’s already very dark for one his age I’m told#unfortunately I got my banana ball python as an adult so can’t post freckle development since bananas gain freckles as they age#his name is sweet onion chicken teriyaki (onion for short)#poptart has the best morph of all snakes ever (palmetto) so I will definitely post her
