Thanks! Nah, the blue stones are reflecting a bit of color onto the white of the albino.

Here is a quick snap (shown below) and you can easily spot the Lav.
The albino on the lower left is from Photo #216. :)

Another stone from the CT River, had some neat orange inclusions in it.

Up close-they look like miniature garnets to me. :)

I like the pattern and color on this stone, but, it has a lot of internal fractures.
I managed to keep it intact.
Not a super clean tumble, but, it still looks neat. :)

Semi-Translucent stones are always tricky to photograph...you actually see a short distance into the stone and so they look a bit textured even though the exterior is perfectly smooth.

Ball python: Enchi, 66% Het Albino

In other news: I think I found the source of my dreams of breeding flying snakes with iridescent wings.
I've looked at a particular Egyptian Sarcophagus a few times, but, only today I consciously noticed this emblem near the feet. :)

Petoskey +1, and some other 'rocks' that were originally one really gnarly piece of something (arrived with the rough petoskeys) before it broke apart in tumble...

Ball python: 100% Het Clown, 50% Het Lav Albino (yes, I hatched an entire clutch of these last year).

More Brazilian Agate, and another Super Pastel/Spider (Killer Bee) with Multiple Hets. :)

Sometimes they lock for a few minutes and sometimes...

What's the rush? It's not like they have to get up & go to work! :rofl:
