I saw your post about frog pride stickers! I would love to preorder but am having trouble accessing the website. It says under construction, can we order from your Etsy?

Hi!!! Thank you so much for asking ;o; <3 The post was from last year, so unfortunately I don't have any of the stickers in stock right now -- but I was considering putting up preorders on my Etsy this weekend if you're interested! My shop is here:

I can't believe I live in a world with so many beautiful snakes, and I can't gently kiss them all on the head. 💔

Paradise flying snake [ Chrysopelea paradisi ] with Sampaguita and male Danaid eggflies ✿

May is Asian-American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month ♡ I want to take this month to celebrate my Filipino heritage, as well as share some of the beautiful snakes and flowers found in the Philippines.

Paradise flying snakes can be found throughout Southeast Asia, from Bangladesh all the way to the islands of the Philippines. They are able to use their ribs to flatten their bodies a surprising amount, to then glide from tree to tree in the moist forests they call home. These snakes are mildly venomous, and feed on lizards and bats in the wild.

Sampaguita (Arabian Jasmine) is the national flower of the Philippines; it is beloved for its scent, and symbolizes purity, fidelity, and hope.

I'm looking forward to sharing with all of you more of the amazing snakes that call the Philippines home ♡ Keep your eyes peeled for the release of something special from @thewashistation and several AAPI artists, including myself ~ 🤫❤️‍🔥

For those of you non-reptile folks out there (or the reptile folks who haven't heard/don't know yet)- "Prehistoric Pets"/"The Reptile Zoo" is one of the worst faces of captive reptile keeping. Jay Brewer, the guy that runs it and faces it on youtube, is basically running the equivalent of a reptile puppy mill, and sensationalizing it for views.

He keeps his animals in enclosures that are far too small for them, participates in mass breeding without care for the health or well-being of the animals involved, including creating morbidly obsese animals to have the "biggest" ones for clout and so that he can breed them as fast and often as possible since they don't get too skinny from being bred too often while being massively overfed. He's also well known for cutting eggs (which by itself is.... eh but-) where he removes the entire top, pulling live babies out, and putting them back in, which is ridiculously dangerous to the baby.

This year he's going to be getting his own television show. I don't know the name of it yet, but given his behavior on youtube - where he purposely elicits stress responses, defensive behaviors, and bite attempts from large reptiles purely for views, with no interest in whether these actions are in the interest of the animal's best welfare - I doubt he is going to improve any. The producers are GOING to try to sensationalize it a la Tiger King.

Please, I am asking you to not support this man or his new show. He represents the worst side of the hobby, the people that have no business being in business, no business keeping the animals he does. Don't spite watch, don't curiosity watch; pirate it someplace if you must, but any views that count toward success of his show only puts more into his pockets to continue doing things he shouldn't, and it's his animals (and the animals his popularity convince others to buy thinking they can do the same as him) that pay the price for it.

Please understand that he is NOT a good representative of the reptile keeping community, and that so many people do not find his keeping, handling, or practices acceptable. Despicable would be a better word.

Just a big ass PSA from an extremely exhausted artist:

Sticker packs like these are full of stolen artwork.

I cannot possibly keep up with the amount of reporting I'd need to do to get them all taken down across Etsy & Amazon and various cheap bulk websites. Just..... please please don't buy these. 🥲 Please support we artists instead. Guarantee you can find all of these pieces of art from our own Redbubble shops. The quality of these stolen sticker packs are shite quality anyway. 😭

Here's my redbubble if you're wanting some of these and want to support me lmao
