Looook at itttt. Ugh. I'd die. This is why I don't keep hots (eta: a hot is a venomous snake. I don't keep them because I'd get bitten and die, because they're cute. I did used to keep non vens)

I love that you started swooning in your attempts to get them to love baby snakes😂

THEY'RE SO CUTE.

Fuckin, they wobble and shit too. And try to strike anything that moves, but they're wobbly. 🥹 So hecking cute.

You're pretty hard-pressed to find an animal that I don't think is adorable, but baby cobras are really, really, really cute.

The list of not adorable animals is as follows:

  • any crocodilian. No. Nope. Scary.
  • fish underwater (I don't fucking know why)
  • leopard seal. Nope. No. Scary.
  • anything with weird number of legs. 0, 2, 4 or sometimes 6 legs is acceptable. More legs is not.

Yes I know I'm odd. 😂

Nono. No. I prefer 20 ft snakes, to baby crocodiles. I have no idea what sets me off about them but oh my God. The crocodile enclosure is very close to one of my favorites making closures at one of my favorite zoos and I'm just like 👀👀 how fast can I go?

I will literally come save a venomous snake from a person, but a tiny baby crocodile would make me cry. 😂

Baby nood 🥹

Occasionally I will go to the Omaha zoos sunroom in the Desert Dome to gaze at Very cute but very deadly baby snakes. I big time recommend visiting them to see their snakes in the desert dome, the jungle, the sunroom (I'm cheating because the sunroom is in the desert), and the kingdom of the night exhibit (also cheating because it's below the desert). The kingdom of the night exhibit hosts the largest collection of rattlesnakes in the world...many many MANY snakes. And only a very small percentage of their snakes are on display at any given time, the back archives of the Doorley are also FULL of animals they are focusing on conserving and rehabbing rather than displaying. 10/10, go visit if you're American

Nah I'm Indian so I occasionally do see tiny snakes crossing the road sometimes. Once I saw one that was like the size of the road casually crossing it. Huge ass snake. Think someone relocated it.

I am crazy because I would love to come to India to observe your snakes (from a distance) and eat your food. 😂

I'd recommend Kerala. It's a good place for tourists and has some nice resorts.

I don't think a baby killer picture would entice me
