A Castle for Creepy Crawlers
3D Render by mrtauredA snake...
I can't touch snakes unless I have to. May the deepest forests and what's hidden within them be their homes and castles.
Moving on.
Have a great day.

Wonderful 
I love snakes and will never forget the first one I found, when I was 15, brought it back home and seconds later saw my mother standing on the table, screaming *rofl*, one of my best teen memories ever!

Tue, May 06Oh honey, y'all over here having a whole Snake Appreciation Club, while I'm just out here with emotional damage and a twitchy thigh thanks to one black-scaled demon who thought I was the special of the day back in Africa!
Mrtaured, my beloved bestie, listen—when she says "touching a snake is like silk," I say that silk better come with trauma insurance, 'cause that one bite I got felt like a red ant rave party where I was the dancefloor.
And Beautiful Misfits, bless your fearless teen self—but if I had walked in on that scene, I would've been on the table with your mama, clutching pearls and screaming like I saw a render without proper lighting.
Snakes might be nature's little goth ribbons, all slithery and mysterious, but I vote we keep them in renders, where the only bite is pixelated and the only venom is sass. ✨
So Mrtaured—stay cute, stay creative, but keep your hands out the herpetology drawer. I need you alive, not hissing!
Now if y'all excuse me, I'm gonna go soak my leg in holy water and wrap myself in a shader that says “No Reptile Zone.

Tue, May 06If I had such meeting like you had, I for sure would think different.
But the only "poison" snake we have here around is the Adder, and she is only dangerous for old, weak people or very little children..
My weak point are spiders, I don't bother when they are outside and can even watch them but not inside the house. There is one rule, like the Highlander "There can only be one"!
I'm not scared anymore (and hell I was as a child) now I just think they are kind of disgusting, if you know, what I mean.

Tue, May 06Ohhh honey, weak? Me?? Please—I’m 6'3", 92 kilos of pure “run first, sass laterand cardio strong enough to chase a fleeing plot hole 15km and walk back like I’m in a Vogue spread. ♂
Let’s clarify this lore: I wasn’t just bitten—I was ambushed by a full-on black cobra. Yes, C-O-B-R-A, the jungle edition of Maleficent, and she chose violence. That venom hit harder than a broken morph dial, and let me tell you, my thigh was doing the Macarena against my will.
Mrtaured, my dearest bestie—you’d flatline at the hiss. And Beautiful Misfits, bless your brave little snake-whispering teen self, but I was out there dodging venom spit like a shader caught in a rainstorm. Last year, we saw another cobra—shiny, shady, and not here for friendship. We brought a sniper, hunted it all day like Lara Croft on jungle espresso, and by nightfall the local cops and jungle boys came in to collect that venomous diva like it owed taxes.
So y’all keep your snake love cute and virtual. I’m out here recovering from real-life DLC boss fights. And if I ever see shiny scales again—I’m not naming it, I’m not claiming it, I’m calling backup. ✨

Tue, May 06Sorry, wasn't meant to offend you when I wrote, that I have a weak point.
And happy for you, that you have such a strong heart
I'm still on recovery, even though there shouldn't be any problem anymore, since the infarct is 6 months ago now.
Btw. I got the chance to move to Australia 7 years ago and said, thanks but no thanks.
The reason? Poison snakes and spiders.
My oldest son had the idea, we could move to Texas. Same answer from me, same reason!

Tue, May 06Oh Beautiful Misfits, no offense taken at all—you’re far too fabulous for that! I totally got your meaning. We’re just out here sharing survival stories, trading trauma like old RPG loot. And bless that strong heart of yours—I’m truly glad you're recovering well. The world still needs your art and your sass!
As for moving to Australia or Texas—baby, I feel you. Sometimes it’s like they built those places by asking, “What if everything could bite, sting, or silently judge you from a shadowy corner?
But funny twist? I’m currently in a part of the U.S. that feels like European weather—mild seasons, gentle breezes, coffee-drinking vibes—and yet guess what? Snakes still RSVP without invitation! They don’t knock, they just slither in like they pay rent. One time, I opened a door and nearly auditioned for Swan Lake with the spin I did.
So no matter where we go, the universe says: “Here’s a little reptilian spice to keep you humble.
But hey, at least in Daz we control the creepy crawlies—pose, light, render, and DELETE if necessary. That’s the only snake energy I welcome now: high-poly, shader-styled, and silent. ✨

Tue, May 06Thanks for your kind words Digital Drapery Co 
I think there are these places for everyone of us. Some years ago I was in Italy with my younger son and couldn't get him into the lake. He wasn't so keen about to take a swim with the grass snakes. I felt sorry for both, my son, cause he couldn't go into the lake (but luckily the hotel had a pool) and the snakes, fleeing the heat and getting a little refreshment in the water.
Some place have spiders I will avoid under every circumstances, or dangerous animals.
Some don't care and can live with them, others will stay away, like you and me
Mild season, gentle breezes, coffee-drinking-vibes, I wish it would be like that here, but Norway still isn't really in Spring-mode
Waiting for warmer weather, impatiently.

Oh nooo, not Slytherin and Sinning!
MrTaured out here crafting castles for creepy crawlers like he's auditioning for Snakebnb, meanwhile I'm just over here getting PTSD flashbacks from that one time in Africa when a black-scaled hissy demon tried to turn me into a gourmet snack. And let me tell you-being bitten by that slithering spawn of Satan felt like a million red ants all got promoted to Hell's HR department and decided I was the onboarding exercise.
So no offense, bestie-but you keep your serpentine real estate out in the pixelated wilderness, far, far away from me. Like... at least one continent and a firewall apart.
I respect the vibes, I respect the art, but let's keep the snake stuff strictly 3D and never in HD real life, mmkay? I've got a no-scaly-policies clause in our bestie agreement!
But seriously-gorgeous render, creepy elegance, and just the right touch of "nope" for the day. You're brilliant, just don't bring that hissy castle anywhere near my butt again. I'm still traumatized, and my leg twitches when I hear grass move.
Stay slayin', not snake-playin'!

One of my husband's cycling friends cannot handle snakes at all. Even the thought of them around creeps her out. So we've never told her about the black snake that nests right under the single wooden step under our front door. I feel this way about spiders.

Thu, May 08When I was a kid I use to catch bugs flying around lights and Chuck em into spider webs and watch the spider spring to life and snatch em. Spiders and snakes are cool but no touch. Hahaha
