Some agates have enough translucency to show imperfections below the surface when clobbered with a camera flash. :)
I was hoping this photo would have come out a bit cleaner...ahh well...
Ball python: 100% Het Clown/50% Het Lav Albino

Pretty hot in my area today.

My dwarf irises are blooming (they bloom early): took a couple quick pics this morning with the snakes.

This Banana Pastel Hypo is from Snakes and Stones Photo #1.

The dwarf Iris is 'Fireplace embers', I purchased one of these 7 years ago-I have several hundred now and they rebloom in the Fall.
My Axanthic ball pythons can really vary in coloration based on lighting. :)

A few more photos while I had the chance this morning:

My gf was commenting that I should do certain stone/color patterns or arrangements...so I said "Hey, how about I show you one of my snakes and then you make the stone arrangement-and I will photograph it?": she agreed.

I gave her full choice to my collection of several hundred lbs. of polished stones that I have not shown yet. First she was looking at my black agate, then at the brazilian agates, and some of my amethyst (all very nice pieces). The black agate with the amethyst and the Super Pastel Fire (Superfly) would have easily been a stunning combo, but, I kept my mouth shut. I walked away so I did not influence her selection and after a few hours she finally approached me and said she was done and her arrangement was complete (photo below).

After a few hours and a full selection of stones/colors I was expecting something a bit more 'elaborate' from my biggest critic! ;)

Fluorite with an Enchi/Pos. Het Albino (in shed).
The fluorite was heavily fractured to start with...so no surprise it is a bit messy :) (video of original material below).
