"Herpy Holidays" - 2012

Old piece, but still very loved by friends. This was a Christmas card featuring my ball python, Mort, and an orangehead roach (I was very big into roach keeping back in the day). Mort is still around today at 21 years old! She's been with me for more than half my life.

hi long time no post!!! i've started working on a pronoun puns series that i've been putting up on redbubble, starting with some he/him/hiss designs that i'd been wanting to make for a While and finally decided to start on in honor of my pet hissing roach who passed away recently. i wanted to make some art of him and figured now's as good a time as any to get into this series

i'm taking recommendations for pun/creature combos!! i've got a few in mind for some other pronoun sets already but additional input is welcome <3

Remember that AWESOME gift I got you for your bloom ball? -- Have you been filling it up with all the new memories we've been making?

Cue an eyebrow waggle.

2023 Halloween funny moments.

Bit of a different kind of post than normal, but I just wanted to share with the world.

I answer my door each year on Halloween (In the UK) with my many, many animals (snakes, lizards, spiders, ect), and these are some of the best responses I've gotten to each animal this specific year:

With pictures!

So trigger warning for snakes/lizards/cockroaches/tarantulas.

Lizard (Bearded dragon) (adult) - Is that a gecko? - Oh mum look, it's a... it's... a dinosaur? - Oh wow, that's cool. It's a Komodo lizard thing, right? - Mum! Mum look! He has an armadillo-thingy! - Oh my teacher used to have one of those. It died, I think. - It licked me IT LICKED ME I'M GOING TO DIE - Oh my God it's ACE, HI ACE I KNOW YOU (People know my lizard more than me..)

~

Snake (Royal 'ball' Python) (adult) - Holy SHIT - Get that thing away FROM MEEEE - Why would you own one of those. Respectfully, Mr.. snake.. owner, sir? - That's one wicked worm my guy - Is it a boa constrictor? I know snakes really well. - I WANNA HOLD IT MUM CAN I HOLD IT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE - I like snakes. They like violence, like me. ("Oh, actually he's very shy and gentle...") I don't like this snake. - MUM IT'S THE SNAKE MAN! (I'm well known in these parts as the 'reptile man' haha)

~ Snake (Hognose snake) (adult) - Why can't I hold this snake? ("Because he's very mean. He eats children") *cries* ("Only bad children, I promise!") *cries harder* - He's ginger! Ewwww! - He's very small... But it's the personality that counts, hey mate? - It's a cornsnake! With a.. oh. It's nose is deformed. Was it inbred?

~ Tarantula (Nhandu Chromatus/Brazillian Red 'n' white) (adult) - FUCK NO. FUCK. NO. - PISS OF YA DAFT CUNT (To the spider, not me... I think?) - Is it fluffy? Like a dog, I mean. It looks spiky, like a hedgehog. - Can I hold it? ("No, I'm sorry, they're fragile) Wow I've been lied to I thought they were tough as hell. - You, yeah both of you, you've got issues. - It looks like a Tony or something. Is it called Tony? - That fuckers bigger than my face, you feed him fingers or something?

~ Tarantula (Brachypelma hamorii/Mexican red knee) (baby) - Oh my God... You know what? That's kind of cute. - Mum, can we get one? "Fuck no, Tyler." - It's... what exactly does it do ("Nothing?") well that's boring. - It at least looks cuter than the house-spider I let stay in the corner of my room. He's called Terry.

~ Madagascan hissing cockroaches (adults) - Why would you own these. - Oh these are those hissing ones... Why aren't they hissing? - It bit me ("It's just her legs holding on") damn gurl you got some daggers on your feet - Can I steal them - Can I eat them - Can I take a selfie with them? - What are their names? ("Oh they're named after Mario princesses-") DAMN where's Princess Peach? PEACH?? PEACH WHERE ARE YOU?! (Don't worry, he found Peach, Peach is the third one. Yes, I can tell them apart)

~

Just a small reminder that I am an actual professional with these animals and I don't recommend doing this for Halloween unless you know what you're doing and, more importantly, know your animal (especially with tarantulas!). I did not let any child or adult hold my tarantulas nor my hognose (They're venomous, even if it's a small dose, allergic reactions may occur), and I know my python well enough to know he'll never strike, same with my beardie.

These are, also, not the only animals I have. I have thirteen in total :)

Just a lil notice! All fun though! Hope you enjoyed!

When I talk about a cockroach, it's normal and no one bats an eye.

However, when I talk about a roach cock, the whole population of this spinning play dough ball turns to look at me.

Hey uh im gonna just show off my designs for my au in a really uncool way untill I get my shit together. Cool? Cool.

Also the Au is called TADC: The Black Onion so thats cool. Anyways lets go in order of whatever, first off we got-

Gangle The Monk

Really dig the colors I did here, was not expecting it to work but we ball. Anywho next we got

Ragatha and Ragz The Cleric

Something something we all love our plush mom or something idk. Next up iss-

Zooble The Warlock

It's fuckin Zooble but they are buddy buddy with an eldritch being so thats lit. Can I still say lit? Am I too old already? Fuck, whatever anyways here

Kinger The Sorcerer

I actually was really proud of this design for reasons I don't think are obvious but we ba-oh shit when did that chicken get there? Anyways lastly here is

Jax The Artificer

His design and concept has been in my mind for years. Also he is buff, I didn't have a reason to show it but just know he is muscly.

Anyways thats it, thats all I got for now. I'm gonna go and start redrawing all of them to make character cards or something, god help me because I have the foresight of a cockroach.
