Sweet Talk is a set of enamel pins of animals typically regarded as tricksters in fables and mythology. Forbidden fruits are their preference, and silver tongues and sharp minds are their tools to obtain such treasures.

We created the original Sweet Talk pins back in 2018. Then, in 2020, we redesigned the Crow, Snake, Coyote, and Hare as larger 45 mm (1.77 inch) pins:

Now, we're hoping to recreate the Cat, Spider, and Monkey pins... and we've added two new tricksters, the Tanuki (Raccoon Dog)and Fox!

As an extra thank you, we'll be including 2 free sticker sheets with all tiers! The sticker sheets are C7 size, or 81 x 114 mm (3.2 x 4.5 inches).

I saw staff promoted your snake drawing! That's so cool!

I'm honestly still stunned by the feature! What a way to start off the new year!

Help Us Do Real Science!

@talesfromtreatment and I have an ask for our fellow corn snake keepers and breeders.

We're gathering information on corn snake size by age and we need community scientists like you to provide the largest possible body of data.

@talesfromtreatment will be using the information gathered to build an accurate, statistics-supported corn snake growth and feeding guide based on ACTUAL data from ACTUAL corn snake keepers like you! I'm just the numbers gal.

Here's what we need:

Your snake's age (in years)

Your snake's weight (in grams)

A top-down photo of your snake's entire body with an inch or centimeter reference. (see photo below)

All of this information entered in our online form, linked below or copy/pasta: https://forms.gle/QtAwmiFa6fpBewFs8

https://forms.gle/QtAwmiFa6fpBewFs8

We'd love to get data on older snakes, younger snakes, fatter snakes, skinnier snakes. If you've got a corn snake we want their age, weight, and a photo of them with a measuring device.

Photos don't need to be fancy, just give us a top-down view of your snake and a ruler/tape measure/yardstick on a flat surface.

The survey is anonymous and we won't share your photos with anyone nor use them for any purpose beyond collecting morphometric data for this specific study.

Please please please help us collect as much data as possible. Share with your reptile-keeping friends, signal boost, submit your metrics, and stay tuned for updates!

While you're here, I would really appreciate if you would take one minute for this family's fundraiser which is near to my heart. Samer, @samerpal, Shorouq and their three children are fundraising to escape the war and have only raised $1000 euros out of their $30,000 euro target.

Even five euros would help them. 💗🙏 If you can't donate, I would really appreciate if you shared. Thank you and hope you have a nice day ❤️

The day Wattpad started adding ads and paid subscriptions was the beginning of the end. THAT was the original Roman Empire.

Oh, how the mighty fall.

“You hear that? It’s the sound of Wattpad…falling.”

A sincere thanks to those of you who are sharing your snake data. Here's a little taste of what @talesfromtreatment and I have been cooking up, and this isn't even the really interesting stuff! This is only one week's worth of data capture!! Imagine what we could do with even more!

If you haven't submitted your corn snake's age, weight, and a top-down photo of them with a ruler yet, it's not too late! It's probably never going to be too late! Take the anonymous survey via Google Forms, linked below:

https://forms.gle/QtAwmiFa6fpBewFs8

Please join our body of community scientists and help us be petty in the most productive way imaginable. Your data will be used to make a gift for all corn snake keepers and breeders, present and future.

A project of this size has never before been attempted, or at least never published, and this is a super awesome opportunity for all of us to learn together!

Edit: swapped out the graph because the title said, "Width" when it should've said "Weight." Sorry!

Even one euro would help them. 💗🙏 If you can't donate, I would really appreciate if you shared. Thank you and hope you have a nice day ❤️

Help me pay for school payments, please!

I am in school and it’s costly. My current job is minimum wage and does not pay me enough for my school so if anyone has just a dollar to spare and could help out, I’d truly appreciate it.

[bonesoup-boy]

I need some help. My baby ball python is showing signs of a respiratory infection and I need to get him to the vet asap.

I don't currently have the ability to pay what the bill will be on my own. I have a ko-fi goal set up as well as some adoptable designs for sale there.

Anything helps, even just sharing this. It's my first time being a snake dad and I'm already a mess about this.
