About

Hey there!

My name is Valentine and I'm a 24 year old queer freelance artist and reptile keeper based in Virginia. I first became a reptile dad in 2019 when I got my bearded dragon, Goose. At that time I was in college studying information technology, but I quickly realized it wasn't my passion. When I got my western hognose, Marshmallow, in 2020 and began creating snake-inspired art, I tried out starting a small business as an artist and the rest was history! I did eventually graduate with a masters in business data analytics in 2021, but I decided I wanted to pursue a creative career full time and I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to do so. Fun fact: I even met my husband because he started out as a fan of my shop! My life has been forever changed by Marshy and the gang, so thank you so much for checking out my shop, supporting my art dreams and helping me put food on the table for the noodles :)

Meet the gang!

Valentine (he/him) • Owner
Being able to create art every day and share it with the world brings me so much joy <3
Marshmallow • Shop Mascot
The star of the show! Marshy is a snow western hognose with a very sweet and outgoing personality. He loves meeting new people, in fact, he's being held by a friend in this pic!
Milkshake • My #1 Hater
All jokes... mostly. Milkshake is a vanishing pattern ghost honduran milk snake who generally despises the world. It's ok though, his beauty makes up for it!
Macaroni • Head Empty 24/7
Braincells? Who needs those! Macaroni is a coral snow motley tessera corn snake who's very curious and loves to try to go places he shouldn't. He's generally friendly and laid back!
Meringue • The Foodie
The newest friend in the gang! Meringue is a lemon ghost western hognose with a curious personality. He has a lot to learn, including that hands are not for consumption.
Her Royal Highness Queen Goose
The one who started it all! Goose is a high red hypotrans dunner bearded dragon who loves food and lounging in her hammock. She's a high maintenance sassy queen <3
