what does "you are as nothing before their toxic might" mean? am i having a stroke?

it means that by venom alone, the Yellow-Bellied Sea Snake is in the top ten most venomous snakes! they’re packing a lethal neurotoxin compound that can kill an adult human quickly.

HOWEVER- what keeps the Yellow-Bellied Sea Snake off the lists of the world’s most dangerous snakes is their behavior! like the Gaboon Viper, these sea snakes are very chill and rarely interact with humans in the first place. there are even reports of children picking them up on beaches and handling them without angering the snake. (but don’t do that DON’T DO THAT DON’T DO THAT)

and when they do bite in self-defense, the Yellow-Bellied Sea Snake uses very little or no venom! this is because as the most aquatic snake in the world they’re basically marine animals at this point and it’s absolutely crucial for them to save their venom for hunting and extreme self-defense purposes (read: if attacked by shark) so they absolutely won’t waste it on the common beach chimpanzee who insists on touching them with its soft meaty paws.

but still, LEAVE THEM BE, and they’ll leave you be!

(also they have horizontal pupils which just looks really cool on a snake)

Wanna see something depressing?

How about an overweight boa living in a tub that is 4x too small for it?

THIS WAY OF KEEPING NEEDS TO DIE.

As much as I love birds I don’t think I could ever handle having one

YES! Bird shaming! I need to make one regarding Piko searching for my cellphone to further tear my otterbox to hell.

Fall is in the air, and my wife is taking full advantage of it by doing some super cute photo shoots with a few of our lizards! Dex the gargoyle gecko and Bailey the crested gecko are having fun with their pumpkins, and our newest little baby crestie* is showing off his colors that perfectly match the season!

*Then he decided to see how far he could leap from the top of the pumpkin, but hey, that’s what outtakes are for! 😆

Fantasy world where non-human sapients are actually just primates that evolved from different families

Elves are descended from lemurs. Mysterious tree dwelling fruit munchers with exotic eye colors.

Orcs are baboon derivatives. Big ol’ teeth, aggressive tendencies, and colorful face markings.

Dwarves could be tarsiers? Secretive. Live in caves during the day because the light hurts their eyes, leading to myths about how they’re subterranean. Long grabby fingers perfect for holding gems in a greedy way
