Sadly no elephants this time, but we can probably have more for the next shop update after we move :)

hello! It is a cat, actually two. Mica (black and white) and Riddler (solid black) are our barn cats, formerly feral cats who were brought home from a shelter and now they handle pest problems outside. No, I do not permit them or any of our cats (we have several indoor cats) anywhere near my snakes. I brought Jasper out onto the sidewalk to take pictures in the sun, but they were never any closer than you see them in the pictures. Cats have a lot of bacteria under their claws, and Jasper is a bit of a garbage disposal and I wouldn’t put it past him to take a pop at a cat.

The videos are often better quality than the photos, because the settings are different, but I try to keep it on the highest quality I can while still being able to upload to tumblr.

That’s a great idea, I’d definitely be open to that. I suppose I’d like to keep it educational and populated by plants whose cultivation is not impossible: I like showcasing plants that grow well in indoor environments, or in containers, or in cooler climates. It’s not always been a rule of the blog, but now that I think about it, that’s what I’d like it to be. Perhaps with those criteria I could advertise for a new admin. Thanks! :) 

Hi, Kew Gardens is one of the finest botanical institutes in the world, so that really shouldn’t be missed. I’d also suggest checking out the Natural History Museum - some great botany and conservation stuff there as well as minerals, fossils, all sorts of natural science things, it’s awesome... and free! Richmond Park is probably my favourite of the London parks... but all of them are nice; Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens are worth mentioning too. Both of those are near the Natural History Museum, so is Battersea Park. London Zoo’s horticultural department is very impressive, so definitely enjoyable as a plant nerd, also it’s a great zoo. Ah, I just reread your message and you said summer! In that case, The Chelsea Physic Garden will be open. That’s really lovely. Feels very hidden away and quiet.The Horniman Museum and Gardens have impressive displays in the summer so that’s worth checking out too, they have a really unique quirky museum and aquarium as well.Enjoy England! :)

thank you. so much. <3
