Photo of a folded sheet of white wrapping tissue an which someone has written in black pen, "Sweet Jimmy," with a heart.

Photo of a little black cat plush sitting with the wrapping tissue in a leather dice tray atop a MacBook on a messy desk.

Shout out to Stuffed Safari for a really sweet, empathetic handwritten note on the invoice for the little plush black cat I bought Monday night and for making me sob a bit with what I found on the tissue it was wrapped in. #wyrmpets

Photo of a colorful young ball python exploring an unlit, black PVC vivarium with front-facing doors. He is propped up on the lip of a large water dish-cum-hide that's actually an elevated water bowl for dogs.

My shy boy Sonoma is out and about for once!! Progress at last! Now here's hoping he eats this week... 😫🐍

Close up photo of a beautiful black classic tabby cat with green-yellow eyes and a white chin gazing at the camera.

Now the cat is closer and yelling at me.

Cassie says it's bedtime

Photo of a lovely but comically disheveled black tabby cat sitting upright in an elevated cat bed. She very clearly just woke up.

Cassie's been waiting for my shift to end, too. Granted, she napped through most of it. #cats #catsofbluesky #wyrmpets

Cassie: materializes on the armrest of my chair
Me: slings an arm around her shoulder and gives her a gentle noogie
Cassie: starts purring
Me: 🥺😭🥰

Photo of a very nonplussed blue cat in a carrier on the table of a veterinary exam room.

Photo of an unhappy black cat, barely visible for the darkness, sitting in a carrier on a chair. The bottom of the carrier is lined with a disposable pee pad.

We are at the vet for annual check-ups and vaccinations. The boys did a magnificent job of staying calm on the way here (45 minutes through the hills). They sure ain't happy to be here, though. Definitely gonna be Special Treats Time when we get home! #wyrmpets #cats

Feeding day. The snakes haven't eaten in a month due to cold weather.
Corn snake: hit it no problem
Kingsnake: hit it no problem
Rainbow boa: hit it no problem
Ball python: uwu no fanks i'm not hungwy

Photo of a lovely, dignified little black classic tabby cat lounging on a pillow that is very clearly Her Designated Bed based on the amount of cat hair on it. She is in very good condition for a senior cat and doesn't look a day over six. She is looking over her shoulder at the camera with affectionate interest in her green-gold eyes.

Close-up photo of the same cat chowing down on her "birthday cake," which is whitefish and pumpkin wet food, served in a little blue ceramic dish. Not pictured in this photo are the two boycats who were very upset and envious that Cassie got Special Food and they didn't. Don't worry, they got their own servings too afterward!

Happy 15th birthday to the apple of my eye, Cassiopeia! 🎉🎂

Mysteriously, she smells strongly of caramel and marshmallow today

Tigger wouldn't stay in the house (on account of That Fucking Dog) so she's in Don't Freeze To Death Jail

Very up-close photo of a lovely black and white cat with yellow eyes and a perfect little pink nose who is blocking the view of three monitors at once.

Photo of most of a Brazilian rainbow boa resting against the black PVC wall of her tank, peeking curiously towards the camera. She's just recently shed and the bright LED light above makes her almost glow with strong iridescence.

Aaaaand...tada! 🌈🐍🎉 Watermelon in the light of day! Or at least her daytime lighting.

Photo of Watermelon, an adult Brazilian rainbow boa, lounging across a bunch of plants and hides and such in her tank. She is freshly shed and extremely vibrant orange-red. The lights for her tank are off.

Freshly peeled! Can't wait to get new photos of her when the lights come on in the afternoon!

Photo of an adult Brazilian rainbow boa deep in blue, asleep against the short side of her tank next to her water dish. "In blue" means she's going to shed her skin soon and has a milky, opalescent blue cast to her entire body.

Miss Watermelon will shed soon. I've got the humidity cranked up to 95% (down from 100% during misting) and she's sleeping on the wet side.
If she sheds in one piece I'm gonna give my sister the shed!

Photo of a handsome, long-snooted black cat sitting on a tabletop behind a red cut crystal wine glass. He's squinting in a way that makes him look like he's smiling. The slight but noticeable tattiness of his coat shows that he's a senior cat.

Jimmy had a big night last night! My siblings, my sister's gf, and I spent quite a few hours working on an off-brand "Lego" mosasaurus, and Jimmy spent most of that time being super social--bunting everyone, stepping on bricks, getting loved on! #cats #kitty #catsofbluesky #petsky #wyrmpets

Photo of a handsome black cat with obvious Siamese heritage posing dramatically on a pale, bearded man's shoulder.

Jimmy is shoulder catting today. (I can't get over his cartoon chest fluff. VCL ass cat)

Same shot but now the cat is putting her paw on my nose.

OTD 2019. Jimmy HATES the cold so he has a sweater he wears in the winter.

A young kitten, black mackerel tabby with moderate white spotting, hunkered down on the dashboard console of a small SUV (which was parked when the photo was taken).

Photo of the same kitten's face mooshed into my mom's lap, sound asleep.

Photo of the same kitten sitting in a relaxed loaf position on a tall cardboard box, actively mewing, but this time directly at the camera.

There's been a development
Mom found this 6mo #kitten living at a vacant house; she was getting fed infrequent cans of tuna. Super lovey, loves dogs, big-time bunter, SO HUNGRY.

Welcome home, Betty Boop. You'll never have to miss a meal again.

Photo of an adult Brazilian rainbow boa swallowing a meal.

The same snake, now giving me the side eye while she swallows.

The boa has gotten her meal down and now comes over to peer at me.

A little yawn to reset her mouth!
