No- that was all her idea, lol. "Surprise!" "They're H-E-R-E!" :rofl: And I just released them. Even offered her freedom too but she wanted none of it- she liked room service.

Some granite from NH, and a Het Pied Ball Python.

Interestingly: I just so happened to visit the spots I collected these stones today, it was a nice day. :)

Brazilian Agate (natural color), and a Fire/Pastel (Firefly)/66% Het Clown.

With Fall upon New England the leaf litter makes it difficult to find good rocks for tumbling in my area.

I still try though. :)

Maybe not...:cool:

Interesting that the gray tones are visible in this flash photo for this Het Axanthic/Leopard Pastel. :)

Another great photo!

As always, you provide great ideas for pictures. My photography skills are horrible, but the idea is still fun.

It might have worked better if it hadn't been already almost completely dry.
