Me: "I'm so bored I'm photographing cacti!"
MB: "You're not bored any more."
I look down at my feet and see this.

A small orange and grey snake with vertical pupils is held in one hand. The tongue is just peeking out from the snake scenting it’s handler.
A gorgeous orange and grey boa is held loosely in one hand. The ‘muddy’ striping can be seen patterned down its body.
I’ve already talked about Rubber Boas for #SundaySnakes, but did you know we have a second kind of boa in Cali? Meet the Rosy Boa (Lichanura orcutti)! These smooth-scaled desert dwellers give birth to live young. #herps #snakes #yearofthesnake #snek #herpetology #boas #rosyboa

Happy Lunar New Year- it's now the year of the snake- specifically wood snakes! I chose to take inspiration from both a specific snake (the rosy boa) and elements common to Chinese dragons such as whiskers, antlers, and fins.

I wanted to play with this design some more. Itzcóatl the Mexican rosy boa as his D&D class (rogue)
He sounds like a 5 year old but still says Rogue Things

Zelda gives me such severe cute aggression and is the literal Nicest Snake; always curious, never defensive, happy to explore or be cozy. Never hesitates whatsoever to serpentine into my open palm. Snakes aren't domesticated; I find it such a privilege when they choose to trust us. #RosyBoa
He finally ate yesterday! It took offering him live to do it, so now I'm going to work on transitioning him back to f/t. I'm optimistic!

Tubbs is finally using the hide I worked so hard on! This goober prefers wrapping around the plants over using his hides so this was super rad to see! 😍
