Last of the WIPS then I clearcoated, then decided he needed more paint, so then I painted over the clearcoat a ittle bit more, and then decided to coat again, and put in the eyes and crystal and call it for a while and wait on him for a week or two to see if new ideas or anything pick up while I put him on my windstone shelf for a while! So for now, calling this pearly boy done!

If you get one and want to get rid of it, PLEASE message me.I doodle dragon designs in my free time as a hobby, and often use them on my RP forums as characters ( sketches like this ) . However now people are thinking they can just…instantly assume that they get free pick of my designs rather than wait and see if I’m actually going to offer them for people to keep. The insinuation that they just want to take my hard earned work + have no blatant desire to preform any sort of reciprocation is really, really, really getting on my nerves and I’m feeling taken advantage of.
Not to mention is there barely a thank you, much less a ‘please’ ever given.
No more free art / designs for people. If you want them, you can pay for them :/

Bantam Kickstarter dragon #102, "Alien", red/black colors with black eyes. Clone is fine. If you get one and want to get rid of it, PLEASE message me.I’m waiting to see if anyone gets any clones of the ‘alien’ bantam dragon (it was one of the ember / red and black themed ones, the one with the black eyes) in any of the grab bags that are going to be released from the kickstarter, or would be willing to sell him to me. I wasn’t able to back and I’m really regretting it now. It was #102 on the kickstarter and I’m really hoping someone ends up with a clone that doesn’t want it. Like I’m ready to put out a message in the classifieds to make sure people know I’m looking for him specifically and only him.

If you get one and want to get rid of it, PLEASE message me.I know for me, I was unable to back the kickstarter due to some personal issues at the time and now I’m looking to get a specific dragon from the kickstarter. I asked Melody in a PM about it but I haven’t heard back yet. If ya’ll end up being able to order any specifics let me know, I’m specifically looking for #102, with the black eyes. Or if anyone ends up with that one and doesn’t want it hit me up.

If you get one and want to get rid of it, PLEASE message me.Yeah definitely do more research, but as a whole ball pythons are not too difficult of a species to own. Their biggest difficult is the fact that they need a touch more humidity than some of the other “””beginner””” animals (which is why I don’t always consider them beginner animals myself) and they’re notorious for going off food / can be very very picky. Nero, my adult male, once went 9 months without food. That was fun….
Lucerne was picked up at a reptile expo (repticon Nashville) from a small breeder called BND Morphs, but you can find a ball python just about anywhere. Sites like morphmarket are good starts to look into a particular breeder and let you narrow down your searches by morph (color change) if you want. There are some specific breeders/places to avoid like the plague, and the big industry names I wouldn’t so much as put a single braincell of thought into would be backwater reptiles (nope nope nope just nope absolutely not), underground reptiles (they regularly import farm raised animals and wild caught animals) and BHB animals (that guy is just…ugh….I can serenade the ways I don’t like or respect his animal practices).
She, like any other adult female ball python, will only get 4-5 feet long in total. Nero, my male, is 4 feet on the nose tip to tip – Luce, being a female, will get a little bit bigger than he will. Snakes are one of the species where females tend to get a little bigger than the males. As a whole the BP breed is pretty calm and sedate, not too nippy but it does happen and I have gotten a bite from a ball python – nothing too bad though, not nearly anything to shriek home about (nothing compared to a bite from a cranky 9.5ft boa bite. That one suuuucked). Any animal with a mouth can bite though, and it is something to keep in mind – they’re much more apt to doing what their name implies though – curling up in a ball iwth their head in the middle.
They’re a great species and some of my personal favorite snakes. If you do like the all white look, there are corn and kingsnakes that do come in white that also make great beginner keeper pets that you can also look into. Corns are probably the easiest snakes imo to take care of, the only issue I can think of with corns is that they’re little teeny ragenoodles when they’re newborns (but lets be real, if you were the size of a pencil, you’d be scared and defensive too).

I’m tripping panic attacks just about twice a week and each time I get more and more exhausted. My depression has been at a really deep low, I’m barely sleeping, body dysphoria is getting pretty bad and just….eugh I’m tired.
Anxiety and depression suck, man. They suck baaad.

I also have all my tanks set up as bioactive enclosures so that if I miss a poo or a bit of shed or anything, the isopods and springtails will clean it up.
Plus then I get a bonus of keeping rolly polly bugs!

If you get one and want to get rid of it, PLEASE message me.The upkeep for a snake is not nearly as much as you’d think – especially for a ball python. By no means should you neglect them… But they’re called ‘pet rocks’ by the industry for a reason. Honestly my upkeep for them includes thus: A daily check over to make sure they’re still breathing, spotclean for poops, make sure their water is clean and topped off, and a pat if they’re out (I don’t bother them only to do a quick visual). Lucerne gets a little bit of handling every other day because she’s a baby and still getting used to being touched but it’s minimal because there’s a bit of a balance between handling and stress.
Feeding for Lucerne is every week (and is now getting bumped to bigger meals and thus is being moved to every other week), and Nero is fed every 2 to 3 weeks depending on how big his meals are.
So really, their upkeep is NOT that much. THe big thing with snakes is their upfront costs – They’re lovely pets honestly. Calm and quiet, don’t make too much of a mess…Until they tip over their waterbowls or poop in it..(LONG STARE at Nero.)

If you get one and want to get rid of it, PLEASE message me.Yup, That’s because albanism is a lack of only the melanin pigments in an animal (so you see the yellows, reds, and the like – hence pink eyes, yellow markings, etc), where leucism can be a lack of any and all of the pigments but not necessarily all of them. That’s why leucitic animals can be normal colored with white patches – or all white with normal eyes. Blue eyed lucy ball pythons have a mutation where their eyes are likewise effected so they’re blue. Some BEL’s will have color to them, in the right light Lucerne does have some very pale yellow markings, but mostly she is that stark white which is on of the reasons why I fell so hard for her right away.

His registered name is ‘Rip Van Wrinkle’, but I just call him Bean. Because he was just a wee little bean when I first saw him, and he’s full of beans! He’s my entire world and I’d do anything for him.
