yyessss, here too I can shed my old name of Draekos and become a higher being.
Gaykos.
(Draekos is still fine, I just really love the pun)
@Draekos Gaykos...... Geckos...????? Gex?????????????ii11
@vahnj now I miss my cute little leopard geckos :<
@Draekos i need to find some kind of lizard pet my bf is gonna be cool with bc he hates snakes
otherwise i'd prolly go out and get myself a western african house snake, those lil buggers are darlings
it's not like growing up with a science teacher mom spoiled me or anything >_>
@vahnj yeah, I was hesitant about snakes at first but I'm fairly onboard with the idea
@Draekos Snakes don't generally like headpats (I got bit by one once oops) but if they grow up being petted elsewhere they are actually good "lap" pets in my experience
@vahnj well, if a bird or dog doesn't happen, I may return to pushing a snek :D
@Draekos oh here's a good dog breed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-zGIS-WWZQ&t=1s
@Draekos SNAKE SNAKE SNAKE
as long as you're comfortable feeding farmed mice snakes are easily some of the most fun pets imo
i love giving them exercise with my hands, and then when they're tired they'll just chill on your heat and are generally very comfy to just live with
they're also a lot easier to find if they get away :)
