Alright so u know the scene where Smaug opens an eye under the treasure and it’s all the party can see of him bc he’s sleeping under there.
This is what sand boas look like. And they burrow under the sand and are ambush predators. And they are reptiles. Like Smaug. Do you see where I am going with this
Thang. Smaug. If you even care

These snakes are from @stygianexotics (photo's posted w/ permission, please visit her page!). They are Saharan Sand Boas, and she's looking to work more with the dark morph. If you happen to be out and about and see a SAHARAN sand boa (how to tell kenyan from saharan) that looks like that and is available, drop me a line so I can pass it along. I REALLY want her to work with this morph, they look amazing in person, and Saharans feel like silk to the touch, and hardly anyone is breeding them because it's difficult, so having someone willing to work with captive breeding to lessen import demand is really good for them.
If you could help pass this around so more folks have a heads up to help us look, that would be really awesome! Thank you <3

While giving the sand boa babies their first meals I noticed this little dude. He's got no eyes and no hint that there should really be eyes. We are hoping he will eat and thrive but often there's hidden things you just can't see when they don't develop properly. All the same he's pretty fascinating.
