Hiya. Could I possibly have the prettiest snake? (Or a salamander if you have them?)

There are 3 snakes that tie for me...

Is that a mouse?🐭 Guess again: This pocket-sized critter is the western pygmy possum! (Cercartetus concinnus). One of the world’s smallest possums, this species typically weighs just 0.5 oz (13 grams)— the size of an AA battery. This dainty marsupial is a nectivore, meaning that its diet consists primarily of plant nectar. It inhabits treetops in forests throughout parts of southern Australia, using its long prehensile tail like a fifth limb as it moves from branch to branch.

I think miraculous holders are different breeds/species of their miraculous. it’s more for fun design ideas but also individuality. this was an excuse to fornicate around with my favorite characters and see what they’d be.

Chat Noir- LaPerm, Oriental Shorthair, or Bombay. This boy is 100% pure bred standard

Ladybug- Coccinella Transversalis. It would have been one of the multiple spotted ladybugs but i wanted it to be a bit different

Rena Rouge- Itd be basic to say Red Fox but it makes sense, if i had to branch off though then it’d be a Sechuran Fox

Carapce- Spiny turtle or a Sea Turtle. I just think they’re cool

Queen Bee- Bombus Lucorum, pretty unitimidating and cute! i’m not sure if the queens have the white bottoms like the males do

Argos- Indian Peafowl 50% purebred! the rest is hatred.

Viperion- Blue Concinnus garter snake. they’re pretty docile and a bit of a loner!

Purple Tigress- Malayan Black Tiger, for the smaller size and extra black stripes

What’s this? A western pygmy possum (Cercartetus concinnus) from Australia. If there was a contest for the cutest marsupial, it would probably win.

One of the very few poisonous species of snake in the world, Thamnophis sirtalis concinnus. These guys eat rough skinned newts, which have the same deadly neurotoxin as fugu fish. Instead of dying to the toxin, the snake stores it in its body fat which makes the snake extremely poisonous to eat as well. I always liked the idea that there is a creature that can ingest one of the deadliest toxins in the world, and instead of dying it dresses itself in beautiful colors and uses the toxin to protect itself and others like it.
