Reptile Expo

OMG I’m so excited for the Emerald City Reptile Expo this Saturday! Ready to spend all the money!

I’m going to try and rein myself in though. Just buying supplies, making a down payment on my snake, and possibly buying a Chinese water dragon if they have one. (Yes, that is reining myself in).

SO EXCITED!!!!

Anyone else going?

cenophilia: Anthropomorphic tree Anthropomorphism is the recognition of people-like characteristics in animals, plants or non-living things. This tree can be found in the Outer Banks of North Carolina. During the time of slavery in the South, slave ships were often unable to make it through the Outer Banks because of the treacherous landscapes. From the looks of this picture, it seems as if they may have lost some passengers along the way. Wood of Suicides anyone…? Surely I’m not the only lit nerd who thought this?
