#The leaf snake

Meet Onyx, the cutest little noodle-man. This was a really fun (and extremely messy) experiment with getting gold leaf and scale structure onto fabric! For @tlh_on_main , a wonderful friend.

Who is this guy? They look like a pipefish!

That is a female Malagasy leaf-nosed snake! Males have straight, pointy "noses," but females have these spiky protrusions. They help them mimic sticks - they'll even sit very still and straight in the trees to hide themselves!

Check it out, it's really cool! They'll often either stick straight up or let themselves dangle.

A snake crawling on top of a green leaf

The very unusual coiled spadix of the flower of an Anthurium plant. This shape could possibly be effective in dispersing scent, which in turn would make it effective in attracting pollinators. Probably Anthurium wendlingeri or A. pallidiflorum.

Animal of the Day!

Leaf Scaled Sea-Snake (Aipysurus foliosquama)

(Photo from Australian Department of Parks and Wildlife)

Conservation Status- Data deficient (Data inadequate to determine a threat category)

Habitat- Western Australian coasts

Size (Weight/Length)- 60 cm

Diet- Small fish; Fish eggs

Cool Facts- After their discovery in 1926, it was believed that the leaf scaled sea-snake had gone extinct. Surprisingly enough, in 2015, a small population was discovered to be living off the coast of Western Australia in thick beds of seagrass. These snakes are in the top 100 most threatened species as only a few dozen remain. There is hope for more hidden populations around Australia and scientists are still searching. These sea snakes are venomous but their remote lifestyle means you’ll never come across one. Due to their extremely small population, little is known about the leaf scaled sea-snake’s life history or behavior.

Rating- 12/10 (Scaly sea-snakes by the sea shore.)

Top 5 reptiles in gross excruciating detail

Boy oh boy it's show time!

Ball Python

Yes I know that's basic bitch taste, but LOOKATIM. CUTIEPATOOTIE

A generally well-size snake, and I adore all the colors they can have! So pretty to look at. I specially love em big snoots. Literally owo-ing 24-7, what else can I ask for?

Galapagos

Just a big ass guy. Look at him. HUGEEEE individual.

Honestly I don't really know, I just think it's cool that there are turtles the size of dogs. My man is titanic. Honestly, if I had the space I would LOVE to house one of these guys (don't let em near dogs, I just thought that pic was a good size approximation)

Satanic leaf tail

LOOK AT HIM, this guy is metal AF and I love everything of it. The heads shape is SOOOOOO fun and I love animals that camouflage. Their tiny Lil feetsies are so CUTE, and I adore their eyes with them tiny pupils. I'm never forgiving treecko for making this concept into "just some guy" who then turns into a generic-ass Dino, so much potential wasted. I gotta give em justice some day and make an honest to god dark-grass type fakemon. Or maybe even just dark-something and the grass is a lurantis scenario.

Chrysopelea

Ok but picture this:

A snake

That fucking GLIDES

Bitch goes in top of trees and then just fucking JUMPS and GLIDES for half a kilometer and then lands unharmed and repeats again. Because that's her locomotion method. Girl just JUMPS from high places and does aerodynamic shit and boom, ur 200 meters from where you started. Metal af

RES

Ok I KNOW this one is polemic, specially knowing they are driving to extinction an endemic species over here, BUT JUST LOOK AT EM

I just adore these guys, all from their silly lil-permanently angry faces to their marking and asking patterns, to the vibrancy of their "ears" marks, just such guys. I also adore how when babies they are such a soft emerald hue but they start getting more and more dark as they age and once they are adults they are all these mixes of rich forest green with light olive green strikes in their shells, they are sosososoooo pretty

Cameo of my Lil guy Olivo being eepy because I adore him to bits

Also a pic of the afro mentioned almost extinct endemic species, because I felt like it. We have some at the zoo and we just went a course on how to teach the public on why it's important to care for em and all that jazz. Pretty cool ngl

sorry for taking so long to asnwer! i just got hit by "honestly i dont really wanna do anything rn ngl" diseas and had to rest for 2 days. Have a painting of my doggo as compensation

No more ‘family asking me about my jobs or my social life or if I have a boyfriend’. Ask me about pokemon. Ask me about snakes. Ask me about local plant life. I promise it’s going to be a much more interesting conversation for everyone involved.

#‘what’s your career plan’ don’t know #‘how are your friends from high school doing’ don’t know #‘are you seeing anyone’ I know the answer to this one at least! no. #but I can tell you about foraging #we’re about to start seeing wood sorrel. by the way #we’ve got onion grass right now. #ramps should start showing up but they’re harder to find #and for the snake crowd. it’s almost DeKay's season. #I haven’t found one yet. but I will #this year is GOING TO be the year I find a hognose #I find dozens of dekays a year and a few rat snakes #found a couple kingsnakes and a worm snake once #and a few copperheads which are. less great to stumble upon lmao #but no hoggie. yet. #so no. I don’t have a job or a boyfriend. but I can find snakes within 30 minutes of being let loose outside #which feels more important honestly #I can also find four leaf clovers at an alarming speed. I found an 8 leaf clover once #and a bunch of 5-7 leaf ones #and again. that feels more important right now and I’d like family members to appreciate that instead. sad.

What a gorgeous afternoon for a Mid-April hike in the Cheat River Canyon. Spring’s delicate treasures were out in full force. From top: halberd-leaved yellow violet (Viola hastata); sweet white violet (Viola blanda); broadleaf toothwort (Cardamine diphylla); Carolina spring beauty (Claytonia caroliniana); bloodroot (Sanguinaria canadensis); common blue violet (Viola sororia); Allegheny serviceberry (Amelanchier laevis); sweet birch (Betula lenta) catkins; and a cranky Allegheny rat snake (Pantherophis alleghaniensis) newly out of hibernation.

In the face of extreme habitat loss, wildlife biologist Dr. Chris Jenkins puts an ambitious plan in motion to save two uniquely American reptiles, the eastern indigo snake and the gopher tortoise, and the forest they call home.

The two threatened species are as important to their ecosystems as they are interconnected themselves. The eastern indigo snake is a prolific hunter that manages predator populations in the southeastern United States. In the northern part of its range, the snakes – along with more than 350 other species – rely on the deep burrows that the gopher tortoise creates to survive freezing temperatures every winter.

Both the indigo snakes and gopher tortoises are in steep decline, as their native habitat has been deforested for centuries and then further fragmented by roads with fast-moving vehicles. Dr. Chris Jenkins is part of a massive conservation effort that takes the reptiles’ homes into account. The team surveys the most critical tortoise land, purchases it, and then restores the native forests. From there, Dr. James Bogan, who leads the only eastern indigo breeding program in the world, can reintroduce new snakes to areas where they have previously gone extinct – with plenty of tortoise burrows to protect them.
