Just sayin

Chart comparing the number of camera, the number of giant squid footages and the number of bigfoot footages.

Number of giant squids rises as the number of camera increase, but not the number of bigfoot.

Possibly the single greatest snake pic I've ever taken

If you are new around here, this muppet is Lovelace, who is presumably some sort of cousin to these babies (got her from Ethan during my brief time in the Northeast)

A sand boa in shed who just had a quick soak, looking directly at the camera with an incredibly derpy look. She looks like one of the robots from MST3K.

Yeah that’s probably true for me as well

Ethan “Brother Ethan” Kocak @ethankocak.com · 23h

Can’t blame ya there. I’m a big gecko guy.

Ethan “Brother Ethan” Kocak @ethankocak.com · 23h

I hate when they do that lol.

Ethan “Brother Ethan” Kocak @ethankocak.com · 23h

Definitely! They’re great little creatures.

Ethan “Brother Ethan” Kocak @ethankocak.com · 23h

Haha well some of them anyway. Some of them take stuff right away and some of them are problem children

I have such a low tolerance for strangers being rude about animals, which is funny because I work in a pet shop and that’s like…all that is.

Pro tip: don’t quote post my animals commenting you don’t like them. I’m fine with people not liking snakes; but stay out of my mentions about it.

All you need is a beak that can snap a broom handle in half

There are definitely tons of aquascaping folks on Youtube that can probably give you some ideas. Personally, I like crypts for lower light tanks, Amazon swords if I have the space, and Anubias and Italian val in most of my tanks.
