lol damn you for sparking my fantacy inspired thaughts... i have now assigned a sword for each of the snakes acording to spiecies, gender, and personality.... i also am now considering taking pictures of each of them with thier assigned weapons.

ohh and after that i now decided i need more of both snakes and swords

okay okay so for the BRBs they will have oriental style weapons, so the sword from the pictures will be Torpaz' because that is a more masculine blade, plus Torpaz is burning with bright orange, the same color of the dragons flames in the cross guard. that sword i call the blade of the sun god, a very powerful weapon that also portrays a degree of grace, elegance, and beauty... it fits Torpaz perfectly.

for Saphira i choose the wooden katanna because the wood symbolizes "from the earth" and Saphira has rich deep more earthy tones. the swords long slow curved blade and simply shape pommel also shows more feminism but maintains the same elegance and finesse that’s prefect for Saphira. You can kinda see part of this one in the picture with the cages, it is the light wooden one hanging on the beam to the right, you can only see the bottom part of it

Dixie was easy, he is big and powerful and portrays strength therefore it had to be a claymore for him… however if I had a burm or retic that would change things up and Dixie would get the sword im about to give to Jake.

Jake gets the large two handed scimitar, I picture its wielder to be more of a lone wanderer or an outcast with no tolerance. That’s why my only corn snake, who is older and always grumpy with a “leave me alone” attitude gets this one.

The pythons where harder because they are both female and I don’t have many feminine weapons, then it hit me… I will gift not swords, but daggers to them. The pythons manner is more diplomatic and less aggressive I picture them more as nobles as they are “Royal Pythons”. Daggers, small and stout yet ornate and distinguished.

For Montie I choose the leaf bladed, dagger of the sky. this dagger decorated with images of the beautiful “goddess of the sky” shows Monties high standings among the snakes as well as her advanced years and wisdom.

Lastly to Bella goes the hunting dagger. This double edged dagger hints at the hidden prowess, and potential of what is to come.

There ya happy now?? Lol now that I have shown my true nerdy nature…. You got me started this is all your fault

Ohh by the way I already have a list of names for my next batch of animals weather they will be carpets, soloman isle ground boas, or more brbs…. But this includes names like Saber, Rapier, Claymore, Scimitar….. yeah im a nerd I know
