hello, i go by reptile. i like anything reptilian related. facts. random trivia. genetics discussions. anything. got diagnosed with autism on 22 april 2025. family is not understanding. they understand ASD issues in the abstract only. family is not understanding.
my favourite YT channel is Stoner Chul
im a recluse that rarely even goes on walks. I dont see what people gain from talking. other than information that must still be reviewed anyway. so who am i? i dont know myself. so heres some typology
socionics: ILI (basically INTP)
enniagram 5w4 (a lot of autistic people are 5 main. could be because its a struggle to understand the homo sapiens)
replies and questions are welcome (not that anyone reads these)

Welcome.

I live with lots of reptiles. Currently there is an alligator in my pond. Cuban Anoles are plentiful; Green Anoles not so much but when I do see them, it is fun to watch them change colors. There is currently a soft shell turtle in the pond. Some years they dig their nests in the bank around the pond. Snakes: Lots of snakes. Mostly what I see are Black Snakes, but also Coral Snakes and ring-necked snakes.

There was a time when nobody could understand that the world wasn’t flat, as evidenced by the flat road beneath their feet.

People who care will learn what autism means for you. But it will help you to learn to understand that they will have trouble. You probably just had a lot of questions answered in your life.

Welcome to the club Reptile! It’s the only club where there’s a fee to get OUT.

Hello and Welcome @reptile !

I like reptiles too. My first reptile pet was a Boa when I was 13.
He ran loose in the house except at night as my mom was afraid of him.
He was smart and very tame.

We have a show and sell that goes to different cities here in Florida.
You can hold a lot of reptiles there. The Ball Python is so cute. He wraps around himself until he is like a football and stays that way even when being petted and held.

I've also had Iguanas. I always wanted a true Chameleon but never got one.
The cage around my pool is filled with tree frogs, Anoles, Green Chameleons, and cute Geckos with padded toes. With a pond behind the house, there are plenty of snakes and gators.

Want one of these:

Expensive though.

Plenty of these around:
