Avoozl, the Dark One, has arrived

Another pet post! Boring!

Anyway. A few months ago, I put a deposit down on an egg. This egg would rebirth the most terrible creature EVER. A menace upon Mordavia so sinister and evil that even the shadows themselves tremble in fear! Somewhere, Erana is grimacing.

In reality, I received my 7 week old Abbott’s Okeetees corn snake. He seems to be a very curious reptile, and I did manage to get a few pictures of him after he arrived without much of a problem. In fact, he seemed more interested in playing around on my hands than he did hiding away. This is my first hatchling snake, so I’m very curious to see how he grows. His pattern is just gorgeous and I am extremely pleased.

I, being the insane Quest for Glory fan that I am, named him Avoozl. The Okeetees pattern is kind of visually intimidating, and while Avoozl isn’t technically snake-like, I found it a fitting homage. Plus, it’s a fun word to say. Avoozl!
