Quote: As the snake is separate from its slough, even so is the Spirit separate from the body. -Ramakrishna
"Sometimes snakes can't slough. They can't burst their old skin. Then they go sick and die inside the old skin, and nobody ever sees the new pattern. It needs a real desperate recklessness to burst your old skin at last. You simply don't care what happens to you, if you rip yourself in two, so long as you do get out."
-D H Lawrence
Hello and Welcome, I am in no way new here, I have been on and off here for about 9 years.
***PLEASE READ: I am stating this clear, if you don't take the time to at least read some of my profile, and you message me calling me sexy, etc..I wont even respond, as I clearly state towards the end of this profile, and I have it on my other one as well, THAT I AM IN A RELATIONSHIP!! DO NOT FLIRT WITH ME!! DO NOT TRY AND CYBER WITH ME!! I WILL NOT GIVE OUT ANY INFORMATION ON MY SEX LIFE OR INTERESTS!! I do not have time to state this to every idiot, so just read at least what information I put on here about myself. It'll save you some time. The fact that I even have to put this is ridiculous!***
**Drama - Leave it at the door, I will not get wrapped up in your bullshit and drama, so don't even try. You gave up your right to drama once you clicked on my profile. I don't deal with harassment, sexual and others, I hate liars, backstabbers and general assholes, and I will not put up with any. You will be ignored and blocked if I have to.**
Otherwise I'm generally a kind and caring person, and enjoy making friends :)
We all have a dark side in one way or another, and I wanted to create a profile that shows that darker side of me. SpiritChaos is a tribute to my main Original account that I created 9 years ago, SpiritChaos666.
"It was strange how she found out, One moment she didn’t know; the next minute she did. One moment her mind was as blank as the desert; the next minute the snake of suspicion had slithered into her thoughts and raised its poisonous head."

Q:Why did I choose blue snakes for this profile?
A:Simple, I love the color blue (all shades) and My Animal in the Chinese Zodiac is a Snake. When I came accross the Blue Racer Snake I knew I had to make this profile theme.

The Blue Racer Snake
The Blue Racers are a subspecies of the Coluber constrictor or Eastern Racer Snakes. These non-venomous snakes belong to the Colubridae family. They are found in various regions of North America. Previously, there was some controversy about designating the Blue Racers as a distinct subspecies. Some people believed they should belong to the “yellow-bellied racer” subspecies. But now the Blue Racers have been accepted as a separate sub-species of the Eastern Racers.
**
*Length: Their snout-to-vent length ranges between 90 cm and 152 cm. Hatchlings are 8 inches to 13 inches long.
*Color: The underbellies or ventral sides of their bodies are covered with creamy white scales. The color of the scales covering their backsides varies from brilliant blue to dull grey. They have light brown to grey dorsum. Hatchlings of these Racers have dark blotches on their backs.
*Scales: They have smooth scales without keels. Their anal plates are divided.
*Eyes: Their eyes are larger compared to that of many other species of snakes. The skin around their eyes is generally darker in color than the rest of the body.
*Snouts: They have brownish orange snouts.
*Distribution
The range of their distribution extends from Canada in north to Guatemala, Mexico and Belize in south. This Racer snake is found throughout United States and the eastern regions of the Rocky Mountains. Their distribution range includes Pelee Island, Indiana, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa and Wisconsin.
*Habitat
These reptiles can be found in open as well as semi-open habitats. They prefer to live in savannas, hedge rows, meadows, weedy lake edges and marshes. It is believed that all these habitats are necessary for fulfilling their ecological requirements. The range of their habitation extends to an area of 25 acres.
*Diet
Adult Blue Racers feed on various songbirds, rodents, smaller snakes and frogs. Different insects such as spiders, worms and crickets are the foods of the Blue Racer Snake hatchlings and juveniles.
*Behavior
Find out about the behavior patterns of the Blue Racers:
-They are diurnal in nature, being active during daytime.
-They prefer to spend most of their time on ground.
-A large number of Blue Racers can live in single habitat as they are not territorial in nature.
-These snakes are very active as foragers.
-They are known to forage both on ground and trees.
-The Blue Racer Snakes are very intolerant of human activity. Due to this reason they prefer to live in areas with little human habitation.
-While foraging, they hold their heads up and move very fast through underbrushes.
-These Snakes tend to escape into small trees and bushes if threatened.
-They can inflict a painful bite if cornered and annoyed.
-When threatened, the Blue Racers vibrate their tails to make a buzzing sound that works as a warning for other snakes of this species.
*Predators
Large birds of prey including northern harrier, red-tailed hawk and great horned owl are known to prey on this snake. Other predators include Coyotes, Raccoons, Foxes, Dogs and various wild Cats. The Blue Racer hatchlings and eggs are the prey of various carnivorous birds and mammals.
*Adaptations
They have the following adaptive features to help them survive in their natural habitat.
-These Racer snakes can move very fast. This helps them to catch prey and to avoid being preyed on.
-They are great climbers and can easily climb on large trees to hunt or to hide from predators.
-Their strong eyesight also helps them in hunting.
*Mating Season
Their mating season starts around April and continues through May.
*Reproduction
Female Blue Racer Snakes mature at 2 years of age, but they cannot reproduce until they become three years old. The males become physiologically mature at 11 months. But they are able to reproduce only after reaching 2 years of age. These oviparous snakes generally reproduce twice every year. The females build their nests in sand, tree cavities, leaf litters and unoccupied burrows of small mammals. They lay 6 to 25 eggs in communal dens during late June and leave the dens afterwards.
*Life Cycle
The Blue Racer Snake eggs hatch in August or early September. These white, oval eggs are 2.5 cm to 3.9 cm long with leathery shells. Hatchlings use their “egg tooth” to cut their way out of the eggs. The hatchlings do not receive any parental care, but they may remain near the female Blue Racers for a few hours after birth.
*Lifespan
Their lifespan ranges from 15 years to 20 years.
*Hibernation
They are known to hibernate in groups during the cold winter months. Hibernation generally takes place in rocky mountain areas.
*Blue Racer Snakes as Pets
These snakes are generally not kept as pets for their aggressive nature. They tend to attack and bite anyone who approaches them. Their large size also makes it difficult to keep them in glass tanks or cages. Due to these reasons, they do not make good pets.
*Conservation Status
The Blue Racers are included in the “Endangered” category by the IUCN. They are on the Endangered Species List of Ontario since 1971 and are protected under the Endangered Species Act. Among the areas protected for these Racer Snakes, the Lighthouse Point Provincial Nature Reserve and the Stone Road Alvar Complex are most important.
*Interesting Facts
Here are some interesting facts about this Racer Snake:
-It is one of the largest Snakes found in Ontario.
-The length of the largest recorded Blue Racer found in the Pelee Island was 138 cm.
-These Snakes can proceed at a speed of approximately 7 km per hours.
-They are often mistaken for rattlesnakes because of the buzzing sound they make by vibrating their tails.
Please DO NOT flirt with me, as I am in a wonderful relationship with my Light King.

Rating: I generally rate 10s, unless you're an ass. I do read profiles though, so don't think I dont just because I rate 10s.
Stamps: I love stamps, stamp my profile away :) If I have rated your profile (which I generally rate with my stamps unless it is stated on your profile that you do not like them) and you don't like that I used my stamp, fine, to each their own, please just let me know that you don't like stamps, instead of blocking me, this would be greatly appreciated. I will rerate you without my stamp, if you so wish. Just please let me know. Thank you.
Thank you for coming by, hope to see you again.
