gidjit not only picks fights with me, he has also started trying to fight my new dog. luckily, he’s in a glass tank and the dog is 25lbs and can be removed from the room rather easily.

#gidjit #they have stare offs when i eat #if the dog moves toward his tank #she gets removed from the room #i do not allow these animals anywhere near each other

She get that good calcium

#leopard geckos #geckos #reptiles #herpblr #reptiblr #sunny geck #she did not like me taking photos #but she was happy to watch me make banana bread for a bit

Bean wasn't pleased her walk was interrupted by picture time

#western hognose snake #plains hognose #snakes #herpblr #snekblr #pinto bean snek #she is so calm in the hand #pick her up and hse just kind if chills once shes comfy

[jacqsreptiles]

She is beauty, she is grace

She will sniff your whole dang face

There she is; the world's most perfect moron.

#which is what she did when i picked her up

[jacqsreptiles]

Coworkers: aren't you afraid she's just going to take off when you let her outside?

Me, who watched my brainless tube sock filled with mischief and blubber slither 10 whole feet in 20 minutes: no, not really.

#pippin snek #she moved slower outside than inside as well #i was standing right next to her the whole time #taking baby steps like a psycho to keep up with my ball python #woof exhausting

[jacqsreptiles]

There she is; the world's most perfect moron.

#ball python #snakes #sneks #reptiles #snekblr #herpblr #reptiblr #pippin snek #my neighbors must think im insane #just standing there staring at the tall grass #cause you could not see non periscoping pippin from a distance

Went into the reptile room the get this doofus:

And accidentally end up offending this one:

#pinto bean snek #pippin snek #taking pippin outside so she can burn off some post shedding energy #going real well #shes moved like 5 feet in 15 minutes

[jacqsreptiles]

Pippin has just shed and is all ready to get stuck under a door the second I look away

#ball pythons #snakes #reptiles #pippin snek #she legit did that #looked away to do something and BOOM #under the cloest door

i need to go to sleep, which means I need to turn off the TV ive had on as background noise all afternoon

but i feel bad cause Sunny has been watching it ever since she woke up lol

#sunny geck #she likes jerma i guess #thats enough tv time baby girl

[jacqsreptiles]

Me: I wanna go home and write and edit, but I should socialize and go to the after work cookout. It'll be kind of awkward but whatever...

*ends the night with two coworkers vehemently and loudly agreeing that the only good snake is a dead one while someone's wife happily details how her grandpa used to maliciously run over gardner snakes with a lawn mower*

Me: should've just stayed home and WROTE

#i hate it when people say this #also stories of maliciously killing animals without purpose stresses me out #its not funny #or relatable #youre just being cruel #especially after i said i would love to keep a small colony of gardner snakes #i just dont know why you would say that to someone who clearly enjoys these animals #i would never tell a tarantula owner about shit like this

[jacqsreptiles]

New hobby unlocked: touching all of my shoes

#boas #snakes #cicero snek #whyyyyyyyyyy #she just finds a Thing #and then sits there

[jacqsreptiles]

Sunny came out this morning to say...heddo.

#leopard geckos #geckos #reptiles #reptiblr #herpblr #sunny geck #she is...the cutest #i told her several times she needed to go back to sleepies #and she said no

[jacqsreptiles]

Walk into the reptile room to see Sunny like this:

Observing the outside world when she should be in bed. She keeps closing her eyes like she's going to fall asleep like that, surveying her kingdom and just covered in calcium.

#sunny geck #i have no idea what shes doing #shes coated her entire tank in the stuff #i should get her a little sand diggy spot #usually shes asleep when i wake up #not today apparently

Papa suffered in a binder under the humid sun for an hour at an outside festival but little boys get the fruit of my labor

#rodan skink #he get watermelon #but i also get watermelon #and ribs #so we're all winners even with a little but of heat exhaustion
