Found another idiotic accounting mistake from my predecessor that I have to fix and I was like "WILL THE SPECTER OF THAT MAN'S INCOMPETENCE EVER CEASE TO HAUNT ME" and my coworker was like "Why do you talk like that"
This but full of love ❤️
Can u tell me why breeding scaleless snakes are bad? /genuinely asking (im not trying to pick a fight- im just trying to understand 😊)
Sure thing! The basic idea is that scales are really important to how a snake functions, and when you mess with that, you tamper with the snake's ability to be a snake.
Scaleless rat/cornsnakes are unethical but they're not, like, the worst thing ever. The snake will still have belly scutes but lack scales on their backs and sides. The main issues a scaleless rat/corn will suffer from are:
- Mobility issues caused by the lack of scales along the sides. Snake movement is complex and involves muscles attached to the belly and side scales, so without side scales, they're clumsy and have issues holding on to things
- Shedding issues
- Increased risk of injury - snake skin really isn't meant to just be exposed
Unethical! But it could be worse.
Scaleless ball pythons are such an unethical morph I consider breeding them to be animal abuse, full-stop. The scaleless morph in ball pythons is more extreme than rat/corns, and also involves the loss of belly scales.
Along with the issues scaleless rat/corns deal with, scaleless ball pythons also suffer through:
- Even worse mobility issues due to the lack of belly scales, which are the most important when it comes to mobility
- Belly sores - that's a load-bearing part of the body that's now unprotected
- Massive, massive difficulty eating. Ball pythons have heat pits on their lips to detect infrared signatures, and that's what they rely on to eat. These pits are set into the scales, and the scaleless morph doesn't know what to do with them so they're just gone. Scaleless bps are left not being able to use the way they've evolved to hunt and find food.
There's a reason you can't find any scaleless ball pythons who are full-grown.
Because of all these issues, I consider it unethical to breed scaleless snakes, and I strongly recommend avoiding buying from anyone who breeds them.

This is so satisfying to watch
One of the best letters I’ve ever seen just popped up on my Facebook memories. Still makes me laugh.
As today is the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, it’s a great time to revisit Dinah from Devon’s memory of this historic event. And yes, still makes me laugh.
Today is the 54th anniversary of the moon landing, but Dinah’s diary entry is still absolutely magnificent.
I love seeing you on my dash because your icon is Ling and I love Ling so much so every time I see you I see your icon and go there he is!!! My boy!!!
Anyway I love your art so so so much and you are a joy to have on the internet, I hope you have a beautiful day and a wonderful life!
Aww thanks so much what a sweet thing to say! So glad you appreciate the Boy I do my best to spread his face around as much as I can~
yeahhh I lied.
one more time, HAPPY MOON LANDING DAY!
aaand gooodnight.
My favorite gag is mixing up the distinction between oft confused terms. Like, oh no, it's quite simple: stalactites have hit the earth's surface but stalagmites are found in space. Meteorites can be distinguished by their round snouts and asteroids by their sharper snouts. Oh, and remember: crocodiles hang from the ceiling. It's alligators that point up from the ground.
Me and all the sexy bitches are excited to celebrate the anniversary of the moon landing
she knocked that smug look off my face but luckily i was wearing a second, smaller smug look underneath

"The flag of the United States, deployed on the surface of the moon, dominates this photograph taken from inside the Lunar Module (LM). The footprints of astronauts Neil A. Armstrong and Edwin E. Aldrin Jr. stand out very clearly. In the far background is the deployed black and white lunar surface television camera which televised the Apollo 11 lunar surface extravehicular activity (EVA). While astronauts Armstrong, commander, and Aldrin, lunar module pilot, descended in the Lunar Module (LM-5) 'Eagle' to explore the Sea of Tranquility region of the moon, astronaut Michael Collins, command module pilot, remained with the Command and Service Modules (CSM) 'Columbia' in lunar orbit."
