This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Thanks, I hate it

I mean yeah it's a giant snake ball but the worst thing a garter can do to you is stink on you as a means of self defense ๐Ÿ˜„ They're tiny and goofy and among the few potential pet snakes that can be kept without being fed vertebrates.

Well garden spiders also don't pose any harm, but I don't fancy getting into a giant ball of them
