I have moved my journal. I will be posting here either never or hardly at all. If you would like to read my new journal my new name is YAKOYASEI
okee dokee?
oh yeah, and it's friends only. Comment to be added. kthxbai <3

Dante and Alice have done the deed and I couldn't be more thrilled! woohoo!
I can't wait to see what the kids look like! Dante is such a looker I hope they comeout like him. Jon has agreed to let me keep pick of the litter.
Turns out the taratula eggs are fertile too! I'm incubating them now.
Looks like we're going to have a prosperous season ahead of us! Yay!

I have to go finish my hair and go run arrend before work, I was just excited! :P
Will also be changing lj layout for the new year. Cheers!

It was Jon's father's birthday last night so we had his dinner at a Japanese place called Geisha. DELICIOUS! lol I apologise I get very excited about food. Anyhoo, I ate my frist squid, courtesy of Rex. Yummy is all I can say and nothing is better than grossing out jon with the tentacles! Muahaha. Probably my new favorite food.
We had a good Christmas (two of them actually). We got a new microwave and plenty of new towels that smell like flowers.
Today is the day I incubate the spiderlings, so I shall have to pick up some supplies on the way home. So, like I said if anyone on livejournal would like a baby tarantula let me know. :)I hope the eggs are fertile.
I am now focused on getting a toucan. Yes you read correctly, toucan. I would love a bird. We have our scaley friends but I want something fluffy! lol Toucans are the perfect birds too! They are quiet, can amuse themselves, are very playful, aren't as messy as parrots, can be trained, are cuddly, etc. I'm trying to get Jon to allow me the privilledge of owning one but idk. I'm actually thinking that after the burm, and the toucan (if it happens) I'll only want to pick up one or two snakes at the show. That's a good deal right? lol I'm also going to build my own cages this year. They're going to be gorgeous!
Well, I have been informed that it's time to get ready for work. so....bye!

Hey there livejournal!
Yes, I have come back from the dead for a while. Now everbody, don't get excited all at once.
Life is continuing on as usual. I'm still here, still fluffy on the inside and still chillin with the reptilian. Jon is at work currently so I'm hanging out in bed before I venture off to Emily's. I've finished my xmas shopping. Not everyone got something but my three main homies did cuz I love em and they put up with me and that needs to be rewarded.
The snakes and reptiles are great, most of which are settling down for the winter and getting ready to breed for me. Candice (my rose hair tarantula) has an eggsack and I am expecting 100-500 little ones if it is fertile. So if you want a baby tarantula let me know! (At this point I forgot what I was about to write about).
New Years is comming up. Means I got to go through my shit and clean house. Boyfriend says that if I keep it clean till V-Day I can have a baby Burmese Python! YAY! We're also getting a Pleo one day. It's a robotic dino. To find out more go to pleoworld.com or search youtube.
I quit smoking I guess. I'm not too happy about it. I mean, I was going to quit at age 25 but what with the failing health of my elders due to tobacco I guess I shouldn't anymore. My grandpa is 82 I think and starting to go. But do I really want to live to be that old? Where everyone treats me like a child? Idk. My Nana is stating to go due to liver cancer. She doesn't do anything wth her life anymore except for see us. She locks herself in her apartment with her television. I don't know... We'll see how this whole thing goes.
Anyhoot, I have to get going to Emily's. I just wanted to type out a journal before I forgot to do so. Type at you later livejournal. Ta ta.

I have a job!
Damn the universe couldn't have cut it closer could they? After lots of apps filled out and 9 interviews everywhere, I finally have someplace to work. Hopefully, in time.
I will be working at the Pita Pit making pitas (which I heard were very tastey)! No benefits, but I'm not really being picky right now. I can make rent while I continue my quest for a just that pays enough (enough meaning steady income worth enough to think about getting a house). Perhaps I'll go back to school for that, but I don't know.
Anyway, I can finally enjoy a job where I don't have to listen to people who abuse their animals, I don't have to clean up poop or watch creatures die. I want a job where I don't take it home as emotional bagage at the end of the day, and this is it. I get to make sandwiches (and eat them for free! :D)in an environment where workers are like famly. I am excited. I start training tomorrow.
Lol, sorry it's just such a huge relief.
No other news really. I've confined myself to the appartment to avoid wasting gas or spending money. The animals are a joy as always but I talk about them to much (or not enough lol). Jon and I have been discussing moving to Oregon one day. California is too expensive for me and So. Cal is overrated. Both our familes intend on retireing up north so that would also keep us closer to them. Plus it's beautiful up there! Rivers you can swim in redwoods that go right up to the ocean! And you are allowed to keep venomous snakes (provided you have a permit) which is something I want to do one day. All I think about is the day we will have a house together. I've already got the blue prints for the reptile room in my head haha. I also want a koi pond, bog garden (garden for carnivorous plants), and some outdoor enclosures for the lizards. A GOOD dishwasher is clutch as well, and one whole bed (not our two beds smushed together that create a crevass in the middle where you fall in).
Anyway.
I can't really think of anything else.
I guess I've become kind of dull.
I'll update with pics or something soon.

I was told it would premire on mtv/fuse but I don't have cable! lol After a month or so of waiting it's finally on the net! I hope you enjoy!
The snakes in the video are Anya (cornsnake), Sebastian (Ball Python) and Dante (Boa Constrictor). You can see their pics on my myspace and my website geocities.com/rainbowserpentreptiles

Looks like I haven't updated in forever...
Well I'll give you the best of the good and the bad.
My parent's kicked me out of their house, so Jonathan and I found an apartment. It's been wonderful living with himn. I now work at Valencia pet, which is an alright place. Lately I've been working full time open to close.
I've discovered the World of Warcraft, so if you play, let me know. The animals are great. The lizards own the house, and walk around like dogs. Loki sleeps under Jon's pillow everynight, and Murray has gone crazy (by whic I mean tries to eat my thong and thinks Jon's toes must be the best toy in the world). Sebastian has a girlfriend, so hopefully I will get some more baby boas and some ball pythons soon, and some baby cornsnakes next year. I am planning on making a career out of breeding.

This morning I found out that my Uncle (the only one I like that's still alive) has just been diagnosed with a diesease that will basically turn his lungs to jelly and make it harder and harder to breathe until he can't anymore. Also, that my nana may very well likey have liver cancer and that the doctor has discovered lumps on my mothers thyroid. They said it's only a 5-10% chance that she may have cancer, yet I am still worried. I went to the doctor today to figure out what is causing my anxiety attacks, and she wants to examine my thryroid as promblems with it are genetic. I am hoping it will be nothing, because my mom has gone through hell trying to fix hers.

So please excuse me if I am not in the mood to socialize. All I really want to do is hang out in my own little world.

Hey there, its me again... probably.
I get to pack today.... oh joy. At least I don't have a lot of crap. I can try and get rid of stuff too.
Yesterday, Niccolette took some pretty riske pictures of me and Alice, my gravid female boa constrictor. I've been looking at albino boas recently, one day I will have one! Morphs aren't a huge deal to me, I mean, I love normal coloring and patterns on snakes, with a few exceptions (i.e. Black Bloods, & Jaguar Carpets because they're just freakin sweet). The pictures of Alice are awesome though, thank you Niccolette Twilight! I can't wait till she comes over to shoot the whole crew.
I also can't wait ot get a place of my own, when I do, hopefully by september for the NARBC, I am going to reward myself with a False Water Cobra! Eeee! Excitedness.
My plan so far, is to stay at my parents and work at Petsmart and Deb's Dragons. While I have my Petsmart Job, after I officially get my liscencce I am going to see about getting a deskjob/apprenticeship at a tattoo shop. When that is done I will quit Petsmart take on Tattoo full time with Dragons as a part time, and make bank! Then I will move out with Jonathan (when he is ready/ other people) and finally feel successful! Granted, I only have four months to do this. When the four months is up my animals get kicked out. It will be a challenge....but I think it is a challenge that I need.
Pics to come soon once Nicco sends me the rest.

I am so sleepy...
I have my first Right Way driving lesson today. My Dad signed me up in hopes of me getting my liscence faster, he say a week from tomorrow I should be able to drive on my own. sweet.
Arg. Life is not going as I planned it woud be.
I am not going to be able to make money from Deb's Dragons for another month. So I am going to find a part time job until bussiness picks up. (My tummy hurtz :( )
I am going to have to live with my parents again for a couple of months until I can save enough to move out with Jon and whoever else depending. I am not too thrilled, but it is the only thing that makes sense. I am financillay unstable and unable to pay March's rent. I feel terrible, but I am not going to freeload off of Danette and James. That's just not possible for me. At least my Dad will let me keep the animals. If I couldn't I don't know what I'd do... they're my life.
Oh yes, I got Alice the day before yesterday. She's nice and pregnant, and I wonder how many babies she'll produce. *Excitement* XD At least boas give live birth so I won't have to worry about incubation with everything else going on.
Ummm... not a whole lot else. wish me luck on my lesson!

eeeewwww.... Brett is not allowed to cook meat in a pan anymore.

So, let's see, what's been happening in my life. I guess the last time I udated was a while ago. I work for Deb's Dragons now, where we bring fully interactive reptile shows and fear factor style events to birthday parties, school assemblies, etc. I've gotten a few new creatures because of it. Annnnnd... Sebastion has had a sex marathon with one of Deb's pythons. Over 20 times in about a day in a half.

Here's a bit of snake porn for you. The circled area is where they are tail locked and doin the nasty. Sebastian's head is the only one visible, the females is cut off to the right.
Well, here's the new creatures if you are curious:






This is me and Cleo(patra). Cleo's a bearded dragon. They originate from Australia and have a "third eye". She runs around the house like a dog. Whenever she wants out she scratches at the door and enjoys pestering the cat.





This is Natasha. She's a Russian Ratsnake. She'd been at Pet Adventure for over a year. No one wanted her because she bites (I will proudly state, that out of all the employees that try to handle her, I'm the only one who has never been bitten). The truth is she is just afraid of people, so you have to treat her like a lady. She's definately one of the bigger snakes I have. Hard to tell by the pictures, but she has to be around 5-6ft long.
The next and final addition while I live at Emily's, will be Alice. She a female Red Tailed Boa constrictor, and is on her way to full grown. A very large snake!!!! I am so excited. I'm still waiting for Deb to deliver her to me, so no pictures yet. But when she does get here, I have someone take pics of me holding her. Rainbow Serpent will continue, all rescues however will be passed to any willing party that would like to house a snake to either adopt out or keep.
Anyways... for Valentines Day I took Jonathan out to Chi-Chi's. He's so sweet. He plans on getting me one more rose for every valentine's day we share together. He gave me two roses this year. ^__^ I love him to death. I finished reading The Sight and Blood and Chocolate also. Very good books, but very sad.I also plan on going apartment hunting with Paul soon. I want to be able to live with Jonathan in a nice big bed that won't have us waking up with back aches. DDR is now a staple in this house. I plan on getting into shape sooner or later. Driving is also going well. Well, I guess that's all for now. Take care everybody!

Lately, I've been reading The Sight, It's a very good book and I'm hooked. I have another lesson today, but I've still managed to gain experience points without my father to teach me by driving emily's car to pick up Brett. I really love driving and look forward to having the freedom. My money has run dry, and shit, I thought I had an emergency $20 bill somewhere. I guess not. Ah well. I think I have enough to survive off of (by which I mean soup, green tea and cigs) until Deb calls me back. Now to lighten my disgusting mood, a picture of a lizard in a shirt:




Don't worry be happy...

I'm a pretty good driver now, and fairly confident that I will make the deadline. Anyway...Going to take a shower, but I thought I'd leave a few pictures for yous guys. So here we go:




Loki

Amiri

Oustide my window.
Peace.

Egore :)

Yesterday was my first concert/show ever. It was so fun! I saw Mankind Is Obsolette (the singer signed my jacket n__n omg she is so nice) and Rue at the Keyclub. So awesome! We had a flat tire along the way but it was resolved in about an hour. Got home tired but not late.
Today was supposed to be my ride along with Deb. However, she underestimated the amount of time she had and couldn't pick me up. We are going to meet later in the week and now I must now learn how to drive my the 23rd. Awesome. :P
Anyhoo, Jon <3 came over today, and we went to get some snake food and ended up with a new house guest. I adopted a seven legged agrressive tarantula that I believe to be male an in very bad condition. I'm pretty sure It's a King Baboon. I'm deciding between Charlie and Egore for a name. Anyways... here are some pictures for your visual enjoyment:


It's Anya!

Thanks for the moustache :D



The love of my life!

<3

Shameless Plug for Kicks an Giggles!

..i'm hyper...

Updated List of Everything and Anything (42):
1) I got my driver's permit
2) I'm working, kind of. I have an art commission to work on, a pond to build, and I will be working for Deb's Dragons (hopefully). I also need my other form of ID for the Suicide Girls. Hopefully I will get that going soon as well. If I need a steady job thing, I will most likely apply at CVS.
3) Had a mental shift while drunk. Haha. Don't listen to wolf cds while intoxicated.
4) My hair is black and purple now, and I'm loven it. :)

Picture time!








Annnd, that's all for now I suppose. If I think of some other junk I'll be sure to tell you ;)

This is Mitsu, nice and fat from yummy nummy worms! She's my fluffy baby!

Anyways... Happy Holidays!
Love,
TORA, Anya, Mitsu, Dante, Sebatsian, Irwin, Loki, and Amiri
XOXO




In Remembrance Of Skava
The first rescue to ever pass on at Rainbow Serpent. Most likely caused by an internal problem that could not be detected. She will be safe and loved in the next life as she was in this. Damballah guide her.

They're so cute!

So this morning went pretty nicely. I called Deb's Dragons and Deb said that she would love to use me, that she'd be back in California on January 1st, and that she would call me then.
So I call Petco to inquire if my last check is in or not. Turns out it has been there for a while, but my dick manager never bothered to call me. Fucking dick.
So I guess in a bit I'll be off to Petco to collect whatever I can, and get some more supplies. Some bedding, a small rat for Sebastian and some pinkies. Perhaps I'll take Dante with me and get him some sunshine now that he's pretty much digested.
Hre's some of Irwin after his shedding. This pictures really do him no justice. His colors are so vibrant in real life, the yellow from what was more of a grey is now very lemon colored.





His markings are really beautiful. On the top of his head is a perfect square with two circles placed symmetrically above it. He also has some nice stripping and jaguar pattern.
