Snap Dragons: Moving permanently offsite

[Metallic Dragon]

UPDATE: SNAPDRAGONS IS MOVING

Hey everyone, I apologize for the many many ups and downs we've had here with snap dragons. In recent months I have turned to sculpting as a serious passion and have very little motivation for designing only on a lineart. I know many of you enjoy snap dragons and I have had a lot of fun making them, but the time has come for them to realize their greater potential.

Snap dragons, therefore, are moving fully off site and into the real world. Permanently.
What this means, unfortunately, is that there will be no more new litters available and this thread will be shutting down. I am also going to be closing the DA group as honestly I find it much easier to share updates via instagram.
I know this will be frustrating for many of you as I have been promising more free snaps for a while now, but I honestly don't find this version of them fulfilling and a lot of the maintenance for them(archiving, organizing, tracking username changes, etc) is impossible with my current schedule with my kids.

If you are interested in continuing to follow snap dragons, check out the instagram link in my signature. I expect to do our first giveaway when we reach 100 followers there, so if you want a chance at a free figurine please do come on by and help us reach that first milestone!

Otherwise, you are welcome to keep and continue to use your snap dragons. Remember you may not sell them as they were free adopts, but you may adopt them out or give them away if you no longer want them.

Snap Dragons are tiny, chunky, flightless dragons that spend most of their
life sleeping. While sleeping , they open their mouths similar to a venus
fly trap. Their sweet, sugary saliva attracts insects and occasionally small
birds and mammals if the snap is big enough. Once the unfortunate prey
steps inside their open mouth, their jaw snaps shut and the prey is often
swallowed whole. Snaps are highly sought after by collectors who enjoy
keeping them around, not only for pest control, but also for their docile
and lazy demeanor. When kept well fed, snaps make excellent pets... so
long as you don't care that they don't do much!

ＯＶＥＲＶＩＥＷ ／ ／

Snap Dragons are tiny, chunky, flightless dragons that spend
most of their life sleeping. While sleeping , they open their
mouths similar to a venus fly trap. Their sweet, sugary saliva
attracts insects and occasionally small birds and mammals if
the snap is big enough. Once the unfortunate prey steps
inside their open mouth , their jaw snaps shut and the prey
is often swallowed whole.

ＦＥＥＤＩＮＧ ／ ／

During times of plenty, Snaps very seldom move. As long as
they are well fed, they stay in one spot and wake only when
swallowing their prey. If they go more than a day without food,
they will seek out a new ' hunting ' ground. The moment a
satisfactory spot has been chosen , they go back to sleep. When
moving, snaps are most often described as being bulldog-like.
They have a slow,lumbering gait and have very little concern for
their surroundings. If threatened , however , they can move
surprisingly fast and are known to disappear into undergrowth
and holes in the ground to escape.

ＢＲＥＥＤＩＮＧ ／ ／

Once yearly the breeding season rolls around. At this time snaps go into a sort of anti-
hibernation mode and neither sleep nor eat for a full two months. During this time
they slim down significantly as they're in almost constant motion as they seek a
partner. As soon as they've bred, males return to their average behavior while females
seek out a safe place to lay their clutch. The eggs are often buried beneath a thin
layer of dirt and foliage. Once they're safely buried,the female abandons the nest and
returns to her hunting grounds as well. After about three months, roughly mid-summer
, the eggs hatch and the babies set off to find food. They are entirely independent
from hatching, necessary because snaps would be terrible parents considering their
sedentary lifestyle.

ＧＥＮＥＲＡＬ ＣＡＲＥ ／ ／

These dragons are highly sought after by collectors who enjoy keeping them for their
docile demeanor. As long as they are kept well fed and provided a safe place to sleep
-eat, they will stick around and won't leave in search of better 'hunting'. If they really
like their keeper, they can even be allowed to leave during the breeding season as
they'll return on their own with no more prompting than promises of continued bounty
with minimal effort on their part. If not, maintaining a steady environment with no
major climate changes will not signal their bodies to produce the hormones necessary
for the breeding season and they will remain dormant year-round.

your snaps will result in an immediate ban from the species.
2. These are free, bribery will not be rewarded
3. Please be respectful to all and do not complain if things do not go your way
4. Be patient, Snaps are meant to be fun, not a burden so I can't put aside my
real life obligations to make them.
5. Do not beg.
6. Please do not ask to be an artist or staff member unless I'm seeking help
7. No spamming. You may ask questions about Snaps here, but off-topic
chatter will be deleted.
8. In the event that you no longer want your snap, you MUST return him/her
here. You may not sell, trade, co-own, or gift your snaps away
9. I reserve the right to repossess Snaps from their owners in the event that
they are banned from the species.
10. We have a zero tolerance policy for bullying here. If I learn that you are
bullying anyone or any group of people for any reason (especially regarding
sexuality, gender, religious beliefs, etc) in regards to snaps, you will be
immediately banned from the species and your snaps revoked. There is no
strike system for this type of thing. Snaps are to be a safe and friendly
environment for all users and I will not put up with rudeness here.
11. Editing forms in fcfs adopts is not allowed and will result in
your form being ignored.

Snaps are usually fcfs adopts. Some will require simple forms that must be filled out within a limited time frame. New batches will be placed on
display 48 hours before they will go up for adoption, the required extras you'll need in your form will also be listed. This gives you time to
choose the one you'd like to try for as you're only allowed to adopt one from a clutch. Adoptions will open at a given time, I may not always
be online to post that adoptions are open, but I will have a countdown timer set up so you'll know exactly what time you can start posting
forms. Be aware that forms will only be open for about 24 hours, or may be set to a limit of how many will be accepted per adopt, so get
your form posted as soon as you can.

Selective breeding snap dragons is surprisingly easy.
For their health and for ethical reasons, snaps
should only be bred during the breeding season. As
tempting as it may be to mimic breeding season light
and temperatures, you can easily harm or even kill
your snaps if you force their bodies into anti-
hibernation mode more than once a year.
Breeding snaps takes 200 energy per snap

1. Only post breedings during breeding
season (I will make an announcement
when breeding season starts and ends,
probably once a month)
2. If you do not own both snaps, you
must have permission from the other

3. Snaps do not mate for life, but they
may only breed once each season,
choose your pairs wisely
4. No inbreeding
5. Only biologically male x female
pairs can breed
6. Up to three snaps will be produced
each breeding, you may keep them or
