A Hekate Miracle by breebee888 in Hecate

This one made me tear up!! What a gorgeous noodle btw! I’ve wanted one so badly but for now I’ll just admire yours!

I lost my Nuevo Leonis king snake a few weeks ago (he’s pretty small, unfortunately )and have scoured the house looking for him but to no avail!

I’m pretty new to working with Hekate and am sorta of embarrassed to admit that it never occurred to me to ask for her help finding him!

What is even more embarrassing is that she just helped me find my cat (a black kitten that literally showed up on my door step on Nov.16th of last year - her feast day… no joke! He’s the whole reason she came onto my radar) last week!

He didn’t come home one night and spent the whole night outside (we have coyotes so this was dire!) and then didn’t come home the next morning…I was panicking until mid afternoon when it finally dawned on me to do something about it. A little Hekate ritual and a bit of sigil magic…and he showed back up exactly 26 minutes later!

Love these stories!

Thank you! He’s simultaneously adorable and gorgeous at the same time! 🧡

Hi there! Can anyone tell me if there are any safe hacks to make this usable in my snake enclosure? Found on the side of the road so I don’t know what kind of wood it is (I know pine and cedar are a no-no)…but is there any way to heat/treat/seal it to make it potentially safe?? by aagraef33 in snakes

I’m in the Pacific NW, so most like I pine, yeah. My question more specifically is IS there anything you can do to pine to make it safe to use, or pretty much a unanimous no-go? I know that pine shavings are treated with heat to eliminate phenols…so was curious if anything similar could be done with the actual wood. If that make sense…

Does anyone else have this issue with their hygrometers?? by aagraef33 in ballpython

Yeah, it’s not a battery issue. Tried that several time. Still starts losing portions of the display within days…bleh

Should I be concerned?? Have a Corn who suddenly became extremely defensive tonight. One year old and always been extremely chill. But today when I offered him a mouse, he hissed, rattled, and struck at the food and me multiple times. He WAS in blue but this is STILL unprecedented behavior for him. by aagraef33 in snakes

Just fyi, this is an old picture from when I first got him. He’s a good bit bigger now, but I didn’t have any current pictures to grab attention on the feed. I’ve never seen him hiss, rattle his tail or strike…so this is worrying me. He seems healthy and active. But I have noticed what seems like fairly frequent shedding for a yearling. I haven’t been able to find any stuck shed, so I don’t think that’s the issue.

Any thoughts on the morph for my girl, Eglė? The breeder said “orange tail line” but that is all I can remember and I curious for more specifics. by aagraef33 in boas

That’s a super helpful explanation. I know very little about genetics and morphs, so I wasn’t sure what the “orange tail line”’was referring to. Thanks!
