The Nile monitor (Varanus niloticus) is a large member of the monitor family Varanidae which is native throughout most of Sub-Saharan Africa, particularly along the Nile River and its tributaries in East Africa. They have also been introduced to Florida where they have become an invasive species. These lizards are remarkably efficient climbers and swimmer which adapt easily to a variety of habitats including forests, savannahs, scrublands, and wetlands only really avoiding true deserts. Nile monitors feed upon Eggs, Invertebrates, Fish, Amphibians, Carrion, Birds, Other Reptiles, and Small Mammals. These lizards are themselves preyed upon by eagles, leopards, hyenas, crocodiles, and pythons. Reaching some 4 to 8ft (120 to 244cms) in length and 13 to 45lbs (4.5 to 20kg) in weight, nile monitors rank amongst the largest lizards on earth. They have muscular bodies, strong legs, and powerful jaws. They sport striking skin patterns, with are a variable mix grey, black, browns, greens, and yellows on the back and head with barring on the tail and legs. While their throats and undersides are an ochre-yellow to a creamy-yellow. They are a promiscuous species which breeds from june through October. After mating the female excavates a hole in the ground or in an active termite nest and lays 20 to 60 eggs. After an up to 12 month incubation the eggs hatch. Under ideal conditions a nile monitor may live up to 20 years.

Watching reptile channels like “I’m not saying it should be illegal to sell a savannah monitor/Nile monitor/croc monitor, but…” well I am!!! It should be illegal! If they costed several hundred or thousand dollars it’d be fine but at my local reptile store they’re cheaper than a crestie!!! What the fuck!!!!

#‘but my freedom!!’ get an ackie #or hell maybe just require a license to keep them #make it impossible for someone to impulse buy one at a pet store or expo #it terrifies me how easy it is for genpop folks to just. get a savannah monitor #savannah monitors are $35 at my local reptile shop. that’s unconscionable #a fucking NILE MONITOR is $65!!! #that is an animal that can KILL YOU QUITE EASILY #AND REQUIRES AN ENCLOSURE THE SIZE OF A LARGE BEDROOM MINIMUM WHEN ITS FULLY GROWN

Timothee sickfic but you chose whatever sickness

With Female reader plz

Since I just posted a Timothée/Laurie sickfic yesterday, I switched to a sick reader instead.

Stay With Me

C/W: fever, fainting, hospitals

I heard a muffled voice as I came to, like I was underwater. When did I fall asleep? I felt someone shaking my shoulders.

"[incoherent mumbling]...[y/n]...[Y/N]!" The voice became clearer. Timothée's voice. "There you are. Stay with me, baby. Stay with me," I heard him say in a panic. I felt him kiss my forehead. "Oh f*ck, you're burning up."

I blinked and looked around, confused. Why am I in my bedroom floor? When did Timothée get here? I saw the outline of Timothée's form, but I couldn't focus on it. I only knew it was him by the sound of his voice. It sounded like he was calling someone. I didn't want to sleep, but I couldn't stop my eyelids from closing again...so tired...

The next time I woke, I heard the distinct sound of a heart rate monitor. I could smell noxious aroma of disinfectant. Am I in the hospital? Why am I here? The beeping intensified as I became more cognizant - and fearful - of my surroundings. It took a lot of effort to finally get my eyes open. All I could see at first was the harsh fluorescent light above me.

Once I could focus, I looked over and spotted Timothée's head on the bed. His frame was slumped over from his seat next to me. His hand held mine as he slept using his forearm as a pillow. He jumped up from his seat when he felt me stir. I saw the look of sheer relief on his face when he locked eyes with me.

"Oh, [Y/N], baby, you're awake! Oh, thank God, you're awake." Timothée sandwiched my hand between his and kissed it repeatedly. Tears rolled down his cheeks.

"What-" I tried to ask what happened, but my throat was too dry to make more than a raspy sound.

"Shh, shhh, don't strain your voice. Here, let's get you some water." He used one hand to support my head and the other to hold the cup as I took tiny sips from the straw. It felt like I hadn't drank anything in days.

"What happened?" I finally managed to get the words out.

"You didn't answer the door when I came by to pick you up for dinner. I got worried because I hadn't heard from you since we exchanged texts that morning, so I used my key to get in. I found you passed out in your bedroom floor. I have no idea how long you were like that. You-" his voice cracked. "You weren't responsive when I tried to wake you up. When you came to, it wasn't for long. You were feverish, too. I got scared and called 911. They brought you to the hospital."

"Do they know what's wrong with me? How long have I been here?" I had so many questions, but that was all I could muster.

"You've been in and out of consciousness for two days. But even when you were awake, you weren't lucid. They ran tests - you contracted West Nile Virus."

"Two days?! Have YOU been here for two days?" You dropped your head to the pillow. "All of those mosquito bites from the photography walk."

Timothée nodded. "That's what tipped them off to check for WNV first. They asked me about your travel history and habits. They wanted me to stay in the waiting room until they confirmed you didn't have anything contagious, but they relented if I agreed to mask and glove up after I kept bugging the nurses for updates. I didn't want you to wake up alone."

"You hate hospitals," I whimpered.

He half-smiled. "Not as much as I hated the thought of you being alone and scared." He kissed my hand again.

Timothée stayed with me until I was discharged days later, only leaving long enough to go shower and grab some clothes for both of us. He drove me home and helped me to my apartment. He cleaned out my fridge of any expired foods and went shopping to restock it. He waited on me hand and foot and even tucked me into bed. When he acted like he was about to leave, I asked:

"Stay with me, Timmy. Please."

"Always," Timothée whispered as he settled under the covers next to me.

[is-the-snake-video-cute]

What’s your favorite non-snake reptile?

Oh no that's hard!! Would you accept a top five?

I'm very very partial to Ackie monitors! I love all monitors, but Ackies hold a special place in my heart. Little lizards but they make up for it with lots of personality.

Blue-tongue skinks! I just adore blueys. The long, chunky bodies. The stubby lil legs. The cute little faces. And of course the blue tongues! What's not to love there?

Chinese cave geckos. They're like leopard geckos' cool goth cousins.

Tuatara. The only surviving members of the sister order to lizards? Yes, please.

Aaaaaaand Nile crocodiles. Awesome beasts.
