Snakes!

Whoops! I forgot to post the link to today's Tumblr collection.

Tuesday, December 17: Snakes. Heh, [livejournal.com profile] saffronhare, speaking of entire species of animals that people dislike...

This will probably be my last Tuesday collection until sometime in January. My Busy Season at work has kicked into full gear.

Oh, I had to add: I FUCKING LOVE MEDUSA. I always have. When I was a little girl I had a Disney book of Greek myths that featured Carravaggio's Medusa on the cover. I would stare at that thing for hours. I felt so bad for her (even though I didn't even know the full story yet) and I kind of wanted for my own hair to turn into snakes.

Creepy, fascinating, oddly adorable -- and the wee flowered gardening hat!

OMG the ones with hats are so awesome.

You nearly killed me ded with that set! OMG SNAKES WEARING HATS.

The tiny snake... just wow.

That origami... HOLY WHUT.

Rainbow snake = Living oil.

ALL of 'em are so lovely! And you need the Medusa hat.

PS: I want the baby Smaug.

YAY SNAKE LOVE

I don't think I would actually wear the Medusa hat, but maybe I should think about making a Medusa costume for Halloween someday.

PS: A blast from the past

Iridescent snake is wonderful.

I love shiny sparkly snake jewelry, why don't I have any? :)

Is it too late to ask your nears and dears for xmas prezzies?

[identity profile] redheadfae.livejournal.com 2013-12-17 05:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, but my nears and dears have already provided me with car repair and vet bill help for pressies this year. I don't think I'll be finding much in the way of shiny sparkly in my stocking.

Aye.
Practical gifts must be practical this year.

I fucking love snakes. I caught a garter snake in my yard once and tried to keep it as a pet. (I think I was...twelve? Thirteen?) I let it go after a couple of weeks. (I fed it earthworms from a bait shop.)

I used to want a ball python until I realized I liked rodents too much to take care of an animal that would eat rodents. Even giving them dead frozen mice would make me feel bad. And that was before I had pet rats or was a vegetarian!

I briefly had a ball python and he was lovely. Alas, the store where I got my mice was not reputable and he got worms and died less than two months after I got him. UNCOOL.

I've since become a lot more affectionate toward rodents and I don't think I could deal with feeding a snake now. Not that I'm the market for any type of pet anyway.

Awww, so sorry to hear about your python. I looove handling them. Damn.

Thanks. It was pretty awful.

So happy you enjoyed the collection!

Had to go look at the collection. Remind me to tell you my "Roy don't do snakes" story again next time I see you.

Asking me to remind you is a dangerous exercise, but I'll try.

I like the equal measures of squee, yum, and whoa in that update.

Wheeeeeeeee!
