I've jumped back into something I've always been passionate about: Herpetology! I've always loved creepy crawlies and slithering creatures, and it used to be a huge part of my life. Before moving into my apartment a few years ago I had to find new homes for nearly everything I had (which totally sucked!). Now that I'm moved into a house I can finally pick that up again. I love taking care of animals and learning as much as I can about the ones that I keep. I also love going on mini herping trips in search of insects, reptiles, and amphibians in their natural environment.
This is a recent photo of my Ball Python, Oliver. He was already around 1 or 2 years old when he was given to me about 5 or 6 years ago, so he's anywhere between 6 and 8 years old now! He's super friendly and very easy to handle. I'll share more photos of him soon (as well as other critters we have!).
I'm not sure I mentioned it before, but I became an Aunt this year! I finally got to meet my nephew over the weekend and oh my gosh...he is SO FREAKIN' CUTE!!!
In other news, I get a full week of much needed vacation coming up and I am soooo ready for it! We're headed to the coast and I'm looking forward to lots of fishing, feeding turtles, taking photos, and lots of sleeping in!
Hope you all had a great Memorial Day weekend!
Never apologise for not posting! Life gets in the way and if it didn't, we would have nothing to blog about! I had to take two weeks off from blogging recently because of my exams and I hated being out of the loop but it needed to be done! Sometimes a little break is a good thing :)
ReplyDeleteYour nephew is absolutely adorable!! Feeling broody at all? Haha! X
Thank you Leona :) I really do enjoy blogging, but sometimes I just feel like I can't stay organized enough to keep things interesting. I've been working on creating a blog schedule that it more spontaneous and what's going on in my daily life rather than focusing on specific post-features. I think it's going to work out for the best :)
DeleteDude! That's awesome that you are able to go back to one of your interests! And Oliver and your nephew are adorable! I've always wanted a snake or tarantula!
ReplyDeleteJoie, I am soooo happy that I've jumped back into the world of reptiles! I went on a little snake hunting walk with my little brothers over the weekend, and although we didn't find much, we had a blast. It was a great way to spend time with my little brothers too.
DeleteI loooooove Oliver, he's so pretty! I had a Ball Python named Tess for a few years, she was gorgeous and I just (as in a few weeks ago) gave her to my cousin who wanted her very badly. It's nice not having all the work to do, but I miss her!
ReplyDeleteAlso I nominated you for a Liebster award HERE. You don't have to do it if you don't want to, but know you are beloved! ♥
Awww thank you so much Angie! I love the name Tess! Ball pythons really are the best aren't they?!
DeleteMy pet dog's name is Oliver, haha. Great picture of your snake!!
ReplyDeleteAdorable nephew! ^_^

I love the name Oliver! I think if I ever have a son, that might be what I name him too :)
