    Aww, you guys are so sweet to be concerned about my finger! ❤ Apparently my body reacts quite harshly to poison ivy- It caused me to lose most of the skin on my index finger (thankfully the only part that got into contact with it). The only remaining original skin is on the fingertip. 😭 I swear I didn't get bit by a venomous snake though! Haha

      Audrey Phelps tbh I’m not interested in having an argument with a toddler? But I’ll say a few things so that you know what I mean. Ik it might be dead. I’m not scared if it. But it’s just kinda weird to do this: *ppl having fun and being happy* “guess what it’s probably dead”. I’ve seen a lot of natural things. Lots of death. Tbh, I’m pretty sure I’ve seen more then u. I’ve seen family die. Mine and other’s. So at this point ur just being rude and inconsiderate to me and anyone else that might have seen lots of death that is reading this comment.

    You guys helping out the sidewinder and the gopher snake reminded me of that one Tumblr post I saw once that compared animals encountering humans to folk legends about humans encountering fae - they're strange, terrifying, incomprehensible and unpredictable creatures that might kill you, mess with you, abduct you, help you or delight you with (often very odd) food and drink. I think it's a fitting analogy - herping always makes me feel like a benevolent wood sprite, at least :p

    According to folktales in Japan where I grew up, you and your descendants will be protected by their divine spirits. After your death, they will show up to your trial that will determine whether you’ll go to Heaven or Hell to vouch for you as your character witnesses, and guarantee your entry into Herping Heaven. ❤️🐍🦎👱🏻‍♀️🧔🏻✨🌈

    Most animals really do act fine when they know you are helping them. I love the sidewinder! My grandfather lives on a farm and he is the typical Georgia farmer/hunter. But he saved a snapping turtle that had hooks in its mouth. Once it realized my grandfather and uncle were helping him, he calmed them and let them get the hooks out. My grandfather has also saved Opossums, other turtles, turkeys and ducks. Animals are awesome

    So today this happened there was this baby kitten that came into our school and she was literally hurt and injured she got even scared by so many people crowding as if they hv seen a cat for the first time. So i carried the kitten and put it at the opposite side of the school where students arent allowed- and that cat visits me and my friends every day. And then i see emily helping a sidewinder. U are a true hero.

    You normally find the "horned toad" (lizard) in the middle of red ant piles. That's why they have the armored spikes. We generally call them Colorado river toads here in Tucson and they can easily grow to the size of dinner plates. You should keep an eye out for the king snakes out here. They hunt and eat rattlesnakes.
