Thanks! Working my way up from Het Axanthics to the combos over time. Should reach a few of my project goals in 2-3 years. ![Smile](https://ball-pythons.net/forums/images/smilies/happy.gif)

Re: Snakes and Stones
Iolite is Pleochroic which means it can absorb different wavelengths of light and appear different colors at different angles.
Camera flash gives a vivid blue reflection on this piece.

A lot of the translucent stones aren't the easiest to photograph as a group--you can usually see the inclusions in them which makes some weird images.

She was asleep when I took her out and she woke up while I was taking photos and was like 'Whoa!'

You shouldn't scare your poor widdle snakes like that, hee hee... Maybe she'll pay you back someday?

Re: Snakes and Stones
Sorril I know you're doing this just for fun, but have you considered looking into doing a coffee table book or something with some of these photos? I think these are perfect for it and would be a great medium to showcase these animals as well as your hard work with the stones.

Thank you for the compliment, but, nah, I think my photos will reach more people online in a digital format as opposed to a printed one. Besides....there are many beautiful coffee table books that are in the local bookstore clearance bin. ![Smile](https://ball-pythons.net/forums/images/smilies/happy.gif)
Most of the snakes shown with the 2020 image copyright are holdbacks that are currently in my collection. I will begin taking photos of all my ball python hatchlings with stones starting this year (2021) prior to rehoming. I expect my photo collection to grow significantly in a relatively short time and the plan is that each year (ideally) the morph combos will become more interesting over time...
Maybe if I decide to become a business or surface as an official breeder in a decade or two I can use the Snakes/Stones as my gimmick.
