Paint-Tailed Pythons(PTP) are a unique breed of pythons that have paint seeping from their tail tips. PTP tend to be slightly smaller than their close cousins, ball pythons, females being around 2-3 feet long and males 1-2 feet long. Hatchlings are dramatically smaller at only 5 inches long.
Pythons tend to be quite intelligent, and PTP are no exception. PTP tend to be quite shy when first introduced to their owners, but will warm up quickly and soon become inseparable. PTP have exceptionally long lifespans, and have been known to live for upwards of 60 years.

The Emerald creeper (also known as the jade vine) is a rare woody vine native to the tropical rain forests of the Philippines. It is a member of the pea and bean family and is closely related to kidney beans. The plant carries claw shaped flowers which grow from hanging trusses; they can reach up to three meters in length. The flower’s color can vary from blue green to mint green. The species has proven extremely difficult to propagate, and is considered an endangered species due to the destruction of its habitat and a decrease in natural pollinators.


Fern wrote:"I guess I have always been a very appreciative soul, I admire nature for all it's beauty and detail. And in my opinion, there is nowhere better to find these qualities than when looking upon the plant kingdom! I'm a devoted plant lover, and thus value the connotations that come with them; the symbolism of harmony and the balance within plants. To me, balance is vital; the 'simplest' beauty is the most extraordinary; the warm yellow of a sweet common buttercup, they're so pretty colored, and are really amazing upon inspection. Did you know that this 'simple' buttercup flower is actually toxic to eat? Enough to kill? and it also leaves a red rash on you when it touches skin. So fascinating and complex yet so ignored by humans. And something that isn't even a flower at all, but equally as amazing; grass. It feeds a huge variety of animals, can grow in almost any climate, and is the fastest spreading plant ever. A true survivor, and the very foundation of so many food chains. I could go on and on and on...ღღღ
However, I guess my defensiveness for the common plants, made me a little ignorant to the rarer, more popular ones. I guess they all need a little love right? Well, the day I first fell in love with a rarer species, I was on a trip in the Philippines to have a look at Eco-system for a nature scrapbook I'm making. I came across the Emerald Climber, or Jade Vine. It was like living art. I was so captivated by it's pure beauty. From its claw like leaves, so harshly shaped yet so soft looking, to it's gentle coloration from turquoise to mint green. It had me enthralled and stunned. I was amazed by it's modest glory, but in a way I had never been before; because it wasn't common, it was unique, and exciting, and something about it made it feel special to the point I felt blessed to have it all around me. This plant showed me how to value all living things equally, and admire all for their diverse beauty. No matter how useful or unusual they are. It was my guidance from the universe.
