Look at my new cute patoots! 😍 These are tiger salamanders I collected on a herpetology permit from a spring half a mile from my cabin. I will be raising them as education ambassador animals for the kids I teach at my job. I've had them for a week and they're doing very well. ^^

I feel so bad for taking over a month on my current commission queue 😭 I did not realize just how exhausted I'd be working at a charter school. I WILL get everything done though, I'm just slow right now.

✨A wild update appears!✨ The ghost tour job fell through a couple weeks ago, but I have just accepted and started a new job at a charter school taking care of all of the animals in the STEM center. It's good so far, but a little hectic, so please bear with me as I may be slower on commissions.

Just was alerted that there's a copycat account asking people to send them payment info. Don't answer any messages from accounts called aspen-wynd, or aspen_wynd, those are not me!

Finally had a successful shed hunting trip after finding bubkis since 2019. Had a lot of fun getting out in the wild for a few days! 😁🏕️

Hnnggg... starting to regret taking the ghost tour job. I have a crazy short amount of time to completely memorize a crapton of info, and it's put me in a perpetual state of borderline panic for a week now. I can feel myself getting stuck in "panic paralysis", and it isn't doing me any favors.
