32, intersex, queer, an authentic new jersey pork roll transplanted out to the midwest. online rper since the avidgamer days. ANIMALS irl. currently not working thanks to Mental Illness and Fatigue. tonight's mood: baking. oh eta Dirge and I have been together for 10 years as of this May! AMA!

What are you baking?

Pasteis de nata! Or 'portugese custard tarts' per the recipe, so there may be something missing to make them actual pasteis de nata

Ooh, that sounds yummy

they are! My sis and I made them together last weekend XD

so when can I ship you and partner to aussie????

and your babies (but babies need to Iso for longer than parentals I think)

Rival Fenix you just reminded me that I should have probably mentioned my long-term gay-ass relationship in the header

I'm not sure all of my babies could come ;n; aren't aussie's animal import rules fairly strict?

YEah. I don't know the laws myself, but if you can't keep a baby, you can likely donate to a zoo

I could rehome pretty much anything in the collection if I needed too, except maybe the geckos

Here, I mean

STL has a really robust reptile community

The tarts?!

yep!!

/sends you a box

Dirge and I did for 2 of them before I even thought to take a picture lol

(those are some nice looking custard tarts - we got some from the local Portuguese bakery on Wednesday and they were so good)

question: if money (and legal restrictions) were no object what one (or two) species of herp would you desperately want to add to your collection/husbandry?

CROCODILE MONITOR

(oh man I would love to try some authentic ones!)

but yeah I would love love loooove to work with a big monitor and sure, I could go Asian water monitor, but I just. really like croc monitors.

also, not quite a herp but man, if I had the opportunity to get into falconry I would not hesitate for an INSTANT

Nellasaur: OOOH A BIG BOI. I see.

long boi

do I want a croc monitor because my DnD character is based off a croc monitor? yes. is my DnD character a monitor because monitors are my favorite non-snake reptile family? ALSO YES.

Nellasaur: I find no fault here

embarrassing confession: I brought Sleeper home on a 'right-place-right-time' impulse after designing Dirise reminded me how friggin' COOL varanids are, and I regret nothing

Nellasaur: yes but you are practicing proper husbandry for Sleeper, so while the circumstance of acquisition may not have been properly thought out, the care received is still good

I'm doing my best by him! He's a charmer
