#Diamond Python

[cy-cyborg]

We had an unexpected guest today.

Two weeks out from winter is not exactly when you’d expect to see wild diamond pythons but this guy showed up in our backyard today anyway and narrowly missed being a snack for my mum’s dogs. Our neighbours are clearing some overgrown trees and plants from their boundary fence, and we think he must have been hibernating in one of the trees that got cut down. My partner and I spotted him and pulled mum’s dogs away, while mum (aka the hand he has a death-grip on in these photos) caught him and relocated him down by the river, well away from the area being cleared.

I’m definitely adding “only one in the family with snake handling and catching experience despite owning dogs with no self-preservation instincts” as another reason why I need an off-road power wheelchair when I talk to the NDIS - the only reason I didn’t go get him myself was because I couldn’t get through the grass due to the rain making the ground too soft for my wheelchair. Mum’s got a rather impressive bruise from this and I don’t want to risk her or my partner getting hurt when I’m more equipped to be the one doing the relocation.

More bush adventures. Back to an old walking haunt (they gentrified my fuckin walking track by making it fire and slip safe and shit. Now no-one will absolutely stack it on the exposed sandstone like I did ten years ago & still have the scars from. Terrible, tragic loss) and saw this guy:

Awesome. Diamond python. Non-venomous, shy snake just out for an afternoon stroll. & walking away:

beautiful

Took Screenshots of Graham as the ✨dashingly handsome✨ Alex Diamond, the Fast Moving and Tough Talking International Crime Fighter and Playboy from MPFC series 4 (specifically the RAF Banter Sketch)! (Link to video will be under the cut btw)

(tho I do apologise for the potato looking quality of the screenshots as I took them (the screenshots I mean) on a 17 year old video on YouTube of the Series 4 sketch where Alex Diamond appears in)

Everyone!

Meet, ominis, my white diamond ball python. He is only a few months old and is amazing.

Also !! Zephyrus full name yay !!

Does this canonize an answer to the philosophical quandary of Python’s livelihood ? Probably not . Zephyrus’s parents are still alive ? Basil has grand parents ? And she didn’t kill them ??

I don’t think they’d live in the same country to be killed . Nor do I think basil knows they’re alive. Zephyrus knows they’re alive and absolutely dreads that someday they’ll show up out of the blue to say he’s running a shite business and needs to do better.

Was about to ask what Kane would be as a mermaid. But he would obviously be a naga not a mermaid. If I had to pick a fish it’d probably be a microdevario kubotai.

As for Calla… white sturgeon or a Sacramento black fish.

Faron would be an American eel.

This guy came to inspect my kitchen for about 30 minutes last night, just when I was about to go to bed.

Can I request a yuu that owns a python for a pet? With Deuce, Ace, Idia and Cater. Yuu treats their python like their own child and even keeps the snake's shed as treasure. Scenario or headcanons please. Keep up the good work and make sure you're okay

General Yuu Headcanons:

Yuu lovingly refers to their python as “my baby,” “my angel,” or sometimes just “sweet noodle.”

The snake lives in a custom enchanted enclosure that mimics their natural habitat, complete with heat lamp charms and illusion spells for humidity.

Yuu keeps every shed skin in a labeled shadow box with dates like, “First full shed in Twisted Wonderland 💖.”

Yuu regularly hand-feeds the python (usually frozen mice defrosted and warmed up), sings to it, and lets it drape around their shoulders like a living scarf during strolls around Ramshackle.

Deuce Spade

At first? Terrified. He tries to be tough but jumps when the python flicks its tongue at him.

“W-Whoa! It’s not poisonous, right?? Wait—venomous! I mean—Yuu?! It’s on your face!!”

Once Yuu explains the python is harmless and even-tempered, Deuce really tries to be brave for their sake.

He starts reading about reptiles so he won’t seem dumb. Ends up knowing a lot about snake biology and even suggests better heating enchantments for the terrarium.

Secretly proud when the python seems to “choose” his lap to curl up on one day. (“Do you think he… likes me??”)

Treats the shed skins like sacred scrolls. Helps Yuu frame them like priceless art.

Ace Trappola

“Okay, but, like… you kiss that thing??”

Teases Yuu constantly about being a “snake parent” but also becomes very protective of the python after spending time with it.

Gets low-key jealous when the snake curls around Yuu but not him.

Tries to “bribe” the snake with warm hands and treats. It tolerates him. He pretends it loves him.

“This is our baby now, right? I’m the cool uncle. Wait—no—I’m the stepdad who earns its trust with snacks.”

Calls the shed skins “reptile receipts” but still helps Yuu clean and mount them. Makes jokes about selling them as “organic fashion accessories.”

Idia Shroud

Immediately fascinated. “Wha—waitwaitwait, is it a ball python? What morph? Can I scan it?”

Scared to touch it at first, but Ortho encourages him. Ends up spending hours watching it in its enclosure like a calming stream.

“It’s like watching a super elegant boss monster just vibe. This is peak NPC pet energy.”

He and Yuu geek out about terrarium enchantments. Helps code a temperature-monitoring glyph system with holographic status alerts.

Finds the shed skin beautiful and saves a digital model of it for art references. Makes a tiny 3D-printed charm out of one and gives it to Yuu.

Let’s Yuu’s python slither around his dark room because he likes how it glows under his gaming setup.

Cater Diamond

“OMG!! Is this your sss-sweet lil danger noodle? 😍”

Takes a million selfies with the python—filters, glitter edits, and all. Posts: “#NRCPetGoals #SnakeParent”

At first a little squeamish, but he sees how much Yuu loves it and warms up fast. Carries the snake around like a model accessory at one point.

Buys it a cute little hat. Yuu: “Cater no.” Cater: “Cater yes.”

Hypes up Yuu constantly for their care. “You treat this snake like a little prince/princess—it's adorable. You’ve got major ‘cool cryptid mom’ vibes.”

Helps Yuu design a memory album with each shed skin preserved next to photos of how the python looked during that time.
