i’ve been going through greek myths for a potential project and greek myth is honestly so ridiculous. here are a few of my favorite themes i’ve gathered:
What can you tell about eastern mud snakes? Out of no reason other than curiosity. They have neat patterns, and I want to know more about them!
Aren’t they just so cool? They’re native to where I live and every time I see them it is a delight.
Mud snakes (Farancia abacura) are super cool semiaquatic colubrids. They typically have striking black-and-red underbellies, and they’ll flip over to try and shock predators with it.
If you look at the tip of a mud snake’s tail, you’ll notice it ends in a sharp point! They rarely bite but they will try to stab you with that.
Doesn’t hurt but it can shock if you’re not expecting it.
Individuals and populations vary on how far the red patterning extends! Some will only have it on their bellies, and on some it’ll extend onto their faces and backs.
They’re calld mud snakes because they live next to water and bury themselves in mud, rarely ever coming out. They will eat any amphibians in a pinch, but their absolute favorite foods are giant aquatic salamaders, especially amphiumas.
Fun fact about mud snakes: folklore surrounding them is a potential origin of the “hoop snake” myth, because across their range there’s a common myth that they will bite their tails to form a hoop and roll after people! (Obviously, they don’t really do that.)
Mud snakes are so cool, and so beautiful!
Of course I support gay rights! I listen to The Mechanisms. This also means I support gay wrongs.
how many licenses do you think aziraphale has? hes got one for possession of a firearm, and made them give him a test so he could get one to drive a car. what else has he done in order get a silly little slip of paper that says he can do something cool with a Human Invention? like i know hes a literal angel of heaven but do you think hes ordained

I think I’m literally never gonna be sick of this masterpiece. I think watching it on a loop for eight hours could fix me. Dancing’s what clears my soul. Dancing’s what makes me whole.
genuinely cannot get over how expressive snow leopards are like theyre just guys to me. pics of mothers and their cubs literally just look like family photos youd hang on the wall
