sterrinswildworldThe puff adder (B. arietans) has a very cool locomotion. They can move like other snakes, from side to side, but primarily use this caterpiller form. They might look sluggish but they can actually be really fast if they want to. They can also swim and climb. 鉂わ笍馃悕鉂わ笍

[Animal Death]
Snickerdoodle passed away last night.聽 I can鈥檛 say I didn鈥檛 see it coming.聽 even after she was cleared of her RI and started eating regularly, she wasn鈥檛 putting on any weight or improving body condition. It鈥檚 not possible for me to say if she was permanently damaged by being ill for a long time before I got her, or if she was already a sick snake and the RI was just another symptom of it.聽 In the end, I鈥檓 disappointed, but I鈥檓 glad I was able to give her a better chance, and she likely gained a year she wouldn鈥檛 have otherwise had.
RIP sweet baby, you deserve the rest.

Story Time: Mail Dubias
This is a hilarious AF story about how the USPS once lost a box of my bugs and had extreme regrets. 聽If you are bug phobic, this is your warning. 聽There鈥檚 no photos of the bugs, just the poor mangled box.
Lets begin! Some of you probably remember earlier this year I lost a shipment of dubias. 聽Since I was busy working with the seller on what the heck to do about that I forgot to ever post the full story. 聽It鈥檚 great, I promise.
In Jan I ordered a shipment of dubias like usual, and it鈥檚 normally only 2 days to get here. 聽By the 4th day in the mail I鈥檓 wondering what is the hold up, but also figure hey, holiday rush is still on, no biggie. 聽Now, these only have to go from Kansas to Oklahoma, so when I pull up the tracking info I鈥檓 surprised to find they detoured to Cali. 聽No biggie they鈥檒l be a little late until the box totally disappeared.
There was suddenly no tracking info available for this package, it vanished into the postal system along with my 200 dubia. 聽After a week of live bugs being in the mail I鈥檝e given them up as unlikely to arrive alive. 聽By the 2nd week I鈥檝e accepted they are never coming home. 聽This is where I am wrong.聽
I get a mystery package, not that unusual honestly. 聽But the damaged notice? 聽Now that聽was odd indeed! 聽Opening the box was pretty crazy too:
Weird a garbage bag? WAIT A FAMILIAR GREEN STICKER!

By George it鈥檚 those lost dubia, poor bastards. Now at this point I should have known something was up, I mean why bags? 聽Why 2 bags? 聽But the only thing I can do is sit here and look at this poor destroyed box.

THOROUGHLY聽destroyed might I add. Also very slightly soggy? 聽It was raining in Cali at the time it was there though, this makes some sense. 聽Likely got left out somewhere. But wow it sure got a number done to it!聽
Now I鈥檒l have to make a note here, the company I buy from does 2 things that are highly relevant here. 聽Firstly, they send a small deli cup of food for your bugs with every shipment. 聽Secondly, they also put a smaller box inside the larger one that contains the bugs.
Dubia food: busted open and missing. 聽Inner box: OPEN. 聽Bugs: ALIVE but half are missing
SUDDENLY THE BAGS MAKE SENSE. 聽SUDDENLY I REALIZE SOMEWHERE A POSTAL WORKER HAD A BOX LEAKING DUBIAS ALL OVER THEIR POST. 聽I LAUGHED SO HARD I CRIED.
