I'm a mom and reading about a child being disappointed in their mother it me harder than I would have ever expected it to. Being told you've disappointed a parent is pretty devastating as it is, but even imagining my kid being disappointed in me hurts in a place I didn't know I could even feel from! Well done author.

That bug, was NOT poisonous, it was VENOMOUS!!!
If IT bites (or stings) YOU and you die, it's venomous.
If YOU bite IT and you die, it's POISONOUS.
For anyone still struggles WITH the difference think of it this way:
How often do you hear the word "poisoned" versus "envenomated"? That's because people die from eating the wrong thing all the time. As a species, we're constantly eating, whereas it's MUCH less frequent for us to be stung or bitten. It's also a huge trope to hide poison in people's food, within all forms of visual media, as well as a popular way too kill others irl (statically, especially for women, just, fyi ^-^). So, we had the term "poisoned" all the time, but we hear "envenomated" much less because because far more people eat than are bitten or stung.

I spent the last FIVE MINUTES looking up geckos (because I couldn't tell what kind of gecko she was... probably because she a cresty with a leopard gecko tail... (well... at first that is. I'm where she just lost it) which doesn't actually exist) just to turn the page and have her classified as a SALAMANDER... WHICH IS AN A.M.P.H.I.B.I.A.N!!!!!
I CAN'T with this. It's it really so difficult to look up literally the most basic non- snake reptiles!?? Leopard and crested geckos are the most common lizard pets, and although I can let the fact that they made a fantasy gecko species go, but calling it a salamander, no; that's so ignorant and negligent! You owe it to fans to at least make sure what you're calling a reptile isn't an amphibian! Could you imagine if they called what was clearly a kitten, a fricken Idk, chicken or something!?!?!
Well, my question from last week was answered... apparently even the author didn't even know wtf was happening.
