Each coloured band represents the genre of a book I read this year. Purple is fantasy, pink is romantasy, teal is scifi and red is romance. I was just learning to crochet when I started, so I made some mistakes and choices at the beginning I wouldn't now, but it doesn't need to be perfect. This covers the 36 books I read from January through June, and it's just over 6' long! No idea where I'm going to store/display it when I'm done!

Based on the blue insularis pit viper. Didn't have a good pair of brown buttons so I went with "gray" (pale blue)!

My favorite snake photo. This is a Rhino Rat Snake.

I took this photo at Reptiland in Central Pennsylvania, but this snake is from Vietnam and China.

Love the color and wiggly nose.

got it from here

Again, not what typically gets posted here but figure it's relevant, especially since

Snake Pass was created by Seb Liese as a love letter to both the favourite games of his youth and his childhood pet snake.

It's also her birthday soon! Since we don't know when she was born at all, we've arbitrarily set her birthday to January 1st 🐴

Not exactly the typical content for this community but figured snake enjoyers might appreciate this.

It's been getting colder around here, so I'm not super comfortable with letting Revy roam around on the cold floor anymore. Instead, I let her hang out on my plant shelf yesterday while spot-cleaning. Because of the grow-lights, the floors of the shelves get up to 40°C in the center - which is very much on the upper end of acceptable basking surface temps, but I'm okay with allowing it for 10-20mins.

And man does she seem into it! She curled up in a cozy spot after exploring the shelf, and when I put her on her perch to go back into her enclosure, she instead scooted right back to the plant shelf instead. I had to actually put her back straight into her enclosure after that, which I don't enjoy doing because it does take away agency, but I had places to be and couldn't leave her on the shelf unsupervised 🥲

In the evening, she was very adamant about being let out, and when I did she crawled right back to the plant shelf and from there to the floor. I kept putting her on her "go back home" perch and she kept insisting on going to the shelf instead, so again I had to put her back straight into the enclosure when I needed to head to sleep.. Revy spent the rest of the night sulking in front of the door lol
