CW: Sneks. Pics this time! (Please note that I do not share pics of sneks eating, or being threatening. Just of them being utter dorks.)

Blade, my oldest, waiting for food curled up in his water dish.

Figment, Blade's future girlfriend, waiting for food curled up under her water dish.

And the newest addition, Wrathion, who is still getting the hang of food.

oh gosh she's pretty

She's lovely, but stupid. Bless her heart in the most southern way possible.

First night I got her, she tried to bite a Walmart sack. First time I fed her, she missed the food twice. Last night, she hit it, wrapped around it and the tongs, and then ate it ass-first. She's.......... She's giving it an A+ effort.

DORKNOODLES!!!!!

Thank you for the snake pics!

They're so pretty

You're welcome!

I've got plans - within like the next month or so - to get them all upgraded enclosures.

Such pretty sneks

Sneks are in our future. I know it

Also, yesterday we saw a not-snek out on our walk (a legless lizard)

it was all still pretending to be a stick

I love legless lizards. I just don't think I could take care of one. But they're still such neat creatures!

Yeah we have 5 wild reptiles in norway, 3 snek and 2 lizur. One of the lizur is legless

And only one of all 5 lays eggs. The rest are ovoviparious

That's so neat, though. I guess it would make sense for reptiles in colder climates to be ovoviviparous.

Yeah. And only one of the 5 are venomous.

That said we lost a horse to that one (an adder)

He was probably allergic and got it straight in the bloodstream.

We've got... Lessee. Cottonmouths, copperheads, two kinds of rattlesnakes, and one occasional kind of coral snake that are venomous. Nonvenomous, we have a metric ton of colubrids. Rat snakes, black racers, ringnecks, brown snakes, eastern hognoses, watersnakes, milk snakes, garter snakes...

Yeah we have the european adder, the grass snake/ring snake, smooth snake, slow worm and common lizard

Partner and I are talking about getting a corn snake, I would love to keep a slow worm but it is not legal to keep native wild creatures as pets in Norway

I love my corn snakes. They are about as smart as a shoelace, but you can get so many colours. They're lovely.

Well I would be happy with some stupid pets because lord knows our dogs are too smart

The only thing about them is that, while you're holding them, you really can't do much of anything but holding them. They're very mobile.
