about 1 month ago – Sat, Jan 24, 2026 at 11:07:04 AM

Hello!

Thank you so much! We've officially funded and also unlocked our first stretch goal, the Hognose snake!

Two variants of this little guy will be available!



I've also added two addons I meant to add initially.

The Pumpkin Toadlet pin
&
The African Dwarf Frog pin

Both are now available for add-on, sorry for the delay!

The next unlock is the Leopard gecko, and we're already pretty close. Currently only one color way is planned but please feel free to suggest other morphs! If enough people agree I can add 1 on to the unlock 💚🐸



Thanks again for your support on this project. I definitely feel this is some of my best work and I'm really proud of it, so I'm so happy others like the designs too!

Look at new designs! Adding Turtles!
about 1 month ago – Sun, Jan 18, 2026 at 10:23:10 AM

Hello!

I'm here again showing off some more designs I have finished! Aaannnnnd I've added 3 turtles (and maybe 1 tortoise) as stretch goals! The diamond back terrapin, Box Turtle (the Florida variety), the red eared slider (since they seem fairly popular as pets), and if we get this far... The Galapagos giant tortoise as a jumbo pin!

Currently I have only the Diamond Back terrapin finished but he is adorable and I would die for him.


I've also finished another snake design, the Hognose! A species that is on my dream pets list, one day...
There's two variants since the original design was actually the red and white one but I realized that may not be the most popular coloring so I made an additional one with their more traditional colors. Their patterns are a bit difficult to fully translate as a simpler dyed pin so I hope you still like my take on them!


And some more freebies I have finished! Details on how to get them all will be in the finished campaign

As always the early bird freebie and the returning backer freebie will be available as addons as well <3

I have some progress on the Leo Gecko as well, not finished of course!! Going with the somewhat standard morph for this guy, but if there's interest I'd love to do other morphs! Somewhat biased on doing the snow leopard looking one personally..


Also! The Whites tree frog pins are going to be made and funded alongside the base goal. Due to some unfortunately sad news. The frogs that inspires them, my squishy babies, both died. Earlier in January and late in December. As hopefully everyone here can understand, they were my family, I loved them as a family member (and more than most of my human family). So to help me grieve and remember them I will be making them honestly regardless if this campaign is successfully funded or not.

First Look as Designs for Derpy Herpetology!

Hello!

Welcome to the first look at the pin designs for Derpy Herpatology, my pintopia campaign!  Please note anything is liable to change! These drawings are all art with regular plating and not dyed, but I still plan on trying to make them dyed!

Common Rain Frog -


Crested Gecko - Color isn't done yet! -


Ball Python -


Pacman Frog - MOST LIKELY WILL CHANGE -


Australian White's Tree Frog - 

Leopard Gecko - Lineart only! Also debating using another older leo gecko art of mine instead? Minus the words, let me know!  - 


Please let me know your thoughts on the designs, any changes or any species you really want to see! And morphs for any species you'd like to see! Please understand I won't be able to do every morph for every species. Especially the geckos, I wanna try and get a good mix so you can get a pin of your special guy, but there's a LOT of morphs for some of these guys so be sure to comment your opinion. 

Here are the morphs I want to try and do right now! These are in additional to the above art
  • Common Rain frog: Dessert Rain frog coloring (I know its not a morph but they look virtually the same) 
  • WTF: "honey" blue eyed, Melanistic
  • Crested Gecko: Like 3? Not sure looking for opinions on these! 

I really don't have any other ideas lol mainly because I don't look into morphs for the other animals.  So input is super appreciated! 

And here is a list of animals I plan on having as a stretch/main goal, in no particular order. Remember please comment any you'd like to see, especially the super weird guys! 
  • Bearded Dragon
  • Milk Frog
  • Pixie Frog
  • Dart Frogs (species will be backer voted)
  • Hognose Snake
  • Gargoyle Gecko
  • Panther Chameleon
  • One of the tiny chameleon species 
  • Axolotl 

I hope that's a decent list to start off with! Again be sure to offer up any ideas not in the lists I showed. To try and get as many species as possible I'm going to try and make these pins a little simpler with no effects and minimal printing if I can help it! 

And a special tier I'm announcing a bit early...

Create Your Own Pet Pin! - Existing mold & New Mold Tiers

This is a super special and super limited tier! You'll be able to work with me and take your special guy and either create an entirely new pin and make it into one, OR take an existing mold (e.i the crested gecko pin design) and make it look as close to your little guy as I can! 

The New mold tier will be quite a bit more expensive then the other one, simply because creating an entirely new pin design is expensive. Now there's a few things about these tiers I need to cover..

IMPORTANT DETAILS:
  • I am required to order a minimum amount of 15pcs for every pin design. Included with your pledge is up to 3 of the pin (you can add on more for a discounted price if you want :3). The remaining will be available to others for the regular pin price, this is not negotiable unless you want to pay for all 15 pins to be made. 
  • Your pin will NOT be remade in the future. 
  • The cost for both tiers still needs to be figured out I don't really have a concreate answer for you and I don't want to give something that's just guesswork! 

More details will come soon as I figure them out!

Thank you so much Everyone! Don't forget to comment ideas for morphs and species!
