\nI am so excited that you\u2019re here!
\n<\/h2>\nI suspect you\u2019re a little unconventional? A little wild perhaps? Maybe even a smidge off-kilter? Good! Me Too!<\/b><\/p>\n

That is why I am so happy you\u2019ve made it to our little corner of this world. I\u2019ve created everything you see around you as an expression of my wild heart and unbridled soul. I\u2019ve never really \u201cfit in\u201d and always seemed to travel the less worn paths of life.<\/p>\n

In early September of 2018 I had the most incredible \u2013 life-altering \u2013 dream. (if you don\u2019t know what I\u2019m talking about\u2026 Click Here<\/a>, it\u2019s okay, do it now, I\u2019ll wait <\/i>) Ever since then, I\u2019ve been keeping snakes.<\/p>\n

The collection started with River, The Snake our first Ball Python (a male FireFly produced by Sun Devil Reptiles<\/i>). Since then our Ball Python collection has grown! We\u2019ve also added a breeding group of Brazilian Rainbow Boas and a Boa (B.c. imperator<\/i>). And of course I\u2019m not immune to the \u201cPringles Problem\u201d of owning snakes, I have plans to add more animals to our \u201cpet\u201d collection\u2026 as well as, additional morphs to our breeding groups.<\/p>\n

I sincerely hope you\u2019re a fan of Jurrasic Park and caught the movie quote reference!<\/i>

\nIf you also identify on the feminine end of the gender spectrum, and you keep and\/or breed snakes\u2026 you may have noticed that this space is dominated by the male types. One of my goals is to use this space to help bring attention to the feminine aspect of the hobby. One of my inspirations and idols is Colette Sutherland \u2013 a.k.a. The Snake Keeper. She was rocking this hobby over 20 years ago and is a force to be reckoned with. Just as Colette, and these wonderful scaled souls, have done for me \u2013 I hope to inspire you to scale barriers, shed your doubts, and clutch your dreams!<\/b>

A Bunch of Stuff You Probably Don\u2019t Know About Danee\u2026<\/h2>\n

What's my favorite animal?<\/h3>
\nAlthough snakes are up there on my list, and my dogs are an easy guess\u2026 I am actually OBSESSED with OTTERS!!! Seriously\u2026 they are stinking cute \u2013 plus their playful and attentive \u2013 yet totally badass warrior \u2013 energy is something I aspire to model in my life. Want to make my day? Tag me in or send me a picture of an otter.
\n<\/div><\/div>\n

What is my Life Philosophy?<\/h3>
\n\u201cYou are enough, and you can do better.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n

That says it all. I believe everybody is beautifully flawed in a very human way and that it\u2019s these imperfections that make us so wonderfully unique. Also, no matter how much of \u201cthe work\u201d you have done, there are ways we can improve ourselves. There\u2019s always something we can work on to get in better alignment with our highest self. That journey, however, MUST<\/b> be met with loving compassion \u2013 for others, and most importantly, for ourselves.
\n<\/div><\/div>\n

What is my greatest irrational fear?<\/h3>
\nI am illogically terrified of bridges\u2026 well not so much the bridge itself, more so falling off the bridge and drowning. *Shivers*<\/p>\n

(Through my spiritual practice, I think I figured out why\u2026 curious? You\u2019ll just have to ask me to tell you the<\/i> story!)
\n<\/div><\/div>\n

What are some of my personal flaws?<\/h3>
\n1 \u2013 When I get excited I talk too fast and start either skipping words altogether or mashing them together
\n2 \u2013 I cannot spell\u2026 thank goodness for autocorrect and spell check!
\n3 \u2013 I have a really hard time looking at someone in the eyes and thinking at the same time\u2026 I will listen intently, then have to look away to process and figure out what I want to stay
\n4 \u2013 When I\u2019m deep in thought or have a lot of stuff on my mind I\u2019ll just stop talking mid\u2026
\n<\/div><\/div>\n

What is my favorite Ball Python morph?<\/h3>
\nOkay, so you can probably guess this if you know anything about my collection\u2026 Desert Ghost all the way! One of my goals is to have DG in all of my breeding animals. I truly feel this gene is advantageous for both breeders (value retention of a recessive morph) AND for keepers (keep your new Ball Python look longer!). It\u2019s really a win-win for everyone involved.
\n<\/div><\/div>\n

What morph do I want to work with that I don't have - yet<\/i>?<\/h3>
\nTSK Axanthic!!! First, I\u2019m a total fan-girl of Colette, so \u2026 duh. Second, if you are not familiar, check out JD Constriction\u2026 absolutely bonkers! DG Axanthic XYZ?!?! YES PLEASE!!! ALL OF THEM!!!
\n<\/div><\/div>\n

What is my favorite part of this hobby?<\/h3>
\nI am a pretty even mix of logical-academic-nerdy and wild-child-creative-spirit. This means that I have a way of bringing order to chaos and logic to creativity, without stifling the wild and creative energy of the project at hand. So, give me the chance to play with the logic puzzle that is genetics where I also get to produce stunning living art\u2026 I am 1000% on board.

What's with Our Divine Adventure, LLC?<\/h3>
\nOur Divine Adventure, LLC is the holding company for ThirteenthFeather.com<\/a>, SacredScales.com<\/a>, and DaneeKay.com<\/a>. I get it. You\u2019re not likely interested in ALL of the paths I wander during my journey, so I made the decision to create separate containers for each of my passions.

\nMeet River, The Snake\u2026 also affectionately referred to as Snake. This is the OG, the snake that started it all! River is a male, FireFly (Pastel Fire) who I picked up from Sun Devil Reptiles at a Reptile Show in Phoenix. He is kept in a bioactive enclosure \u2013 which has been totally rewarding \u2026 and a bit frustrating. Want to know more about our husbandry and how we keep our animals? Head on over to The Facility to check it out.
