Churro peacing out because SWEET QUETZALCOATLUS SHE SAW ME ACK (I suspect that he's still deciding whether I am scary or not. Churro likes to hold perfectly still if he notices me looking at him, then move swiftly away into the shelter of his leaf litter the moment that I turn my head.)

Lookit who I caught out & about! Churro!❤️🐍

(And immediately made me guilty because I hadn't refilled his water dish yet this morning so I quickly fixed that issue!)

WHAT HO, A SCAPULA?! Also some connective-y muscle which I feel meh about right now BUT YAY I HAVE SCULPTED A LEG!🤪

Next I shall attempt to make this leg look slightly nicer before duplicating it so that this hynorse has TWO front legs! (Once I figure out how to merge shapes/layers.😅)

HERE THERE BE TOES! (The funniest part thus far: using Trim to cut the points off of the load-bearing claws like I was giving a manicure to dog or cat. 😂)

It's still pretty rough but I'm fairly proud of the paw; I think I am happy-ish with the proportions at the moment.❤️

My dad was incredibly heroic & cut the plywood for Churro's shelves while I wasn't home yesterday!🥹❤️❤️❤️ Churro gets to have cool diagonal shelf levels now!!😁🐍🌵

I went looking for a Tradescantia zebrina for Churro & found an extremely affordable baby Monstera deliciosa, (what is to me the king of house plants,) instead! 🥹 Guys, I've been wanting one of these forever, I'm SO happy! ❤️❤️❤️

I have a strong, strrrong desire to make Churro's vivarium shelves diagonal instead of just boring & straight across rectangular but I'm not entirely sure how to do a diagonal cut on plywood, even a small piece of plywood - but wouldn't diagonal shelves just look so much more interesting?!

Everything was going so well until I tried sculpting the first part of his paw, lol. 😂 My first project self assignment is to sculpt an .stl -worthy figure of one of my creatures, in this case a hynorse because it would be absolutely incredible to have a physical model of one standing on my shelf...

Did some fine tuned trimming of some of the boards today; got the top facing looking good, I think! Now I just need to trim the boards which form the rear part of the shelves more.

Waiting for payday so I can buy more supplies. I found a great source of glass (NOT the dollarstore or Ikea; yay!)

A certain silly boy named Keplar was inspecting Churro's future viv today. 😂🐾

I also did some supply reconaissance & discovered that you cannot, in fact, buy nails at the dollarstore like my dad suggested (you can buy fasteners for hanging picture frames though! Not helpful for Churro but neat.)
January 11, 2026 at 6:30 AM
Planning out the top (kinda,) & how it looks currently. I'm going to get two more 1"x3"x8' boards so that I can face the front with those.

For now I ran out of nails & I only have $5 left which a certain adorable baby boa needs for his next dinner. I'll be able to buy more boards in a week or so.
January 9, 2026 at 10:39 PM
Keplar 'helping' & making sure that the vivarium smells like him; very very important that it smells like him, y'know!😂❤️🐾

Progress! I'm learning that construction is basically a lot of unforeseen costs. Also cutting plywood is TERRIFYING - it's worth the extra $1 or so to get the hardware store to cut it for you (Home Depot does it but of course my dad & I were tired when I bought the plywood so we didn't remember.🫠)
January 9, 2026 at 10:31 PM
Finally committing some time to learning 3D sculpting properly with a simple sculpt of a teddy wolf thing in Nomad. (Don't look at the paws! Don't look at the paws!!! Ack!)

I'm probably going to keep putzing around with this, trying to figure out detail things like fur (& toes!)

A good start.

Look who I caught openly basking & napping!!!🥹❤️❤️❤️🐍

I accidentally knocked a leaf off of my golem jade today while watering it & seeing it made me wonder if this plant directly inspired Shrek's weird ear shape. 😅

🌵Friday Fact: 'moon cactus' are actually two different cacti grafted together! The brightly coloured upper cactus is Gymnocalycium mihanovichii & lacking green pigmentation, it can't photosynthesize - the long suffering bottom cactus is Hylocereus undatus - aka DRAGON FRUIT cactus! It can grow FOOD!

You can tell that you're an adult when you're extremely excited to spend your Christmas cash on... plywood. 🤣

But I bought it for a fun reason - I'm building my dear sentient shoelace Churro his forever vivarium! It'll be wood, waterproofed with liquid rubber with multiple levels & live plants!😁🐍❤️

Happy New Year!!! May this year be a good one! 😁❤️❤️❤️🎆🎇✨🐾

Happy Holidays, here are Churro's dairy cow isopods making slow work of a baby carrot which I gave them yesterday; I'm really enjoying watching these little dudes slowly disappear their food haha. 😁

More pictures of my gingerbread... very typically, most of my oomph went into the kitties, but I couldn't help it because this year my dad gave me a new kitty cookie cutter so I had fun hehe. I utilized my older small one to make sugar cookie kittens hehe!❤️😁🐾

I'm sooo tired, I've been working nonstop getting ready but I'm finally done the major prep stuff & right now we're at the airport waiting to pick up my brother, who always comes right on Christmas, therefore we celebrate Christmas on Boxing Day & today is our Christmas Eve. ❤️🎄❤️❄️❤️☃️
