Re: Snakes and Stones Pr. 2
I need to get my eyes checked, sometimes I see double...:)

Re: Snakes and Stones Pr. 2
Twins from the double egg shown in the previous photos.
Non-identical, and not conjoined (in case you were wondering). :P

BP = Lesser/Het Lavender Albino
Stone = Jasper from the Western USA (not sure where, the seller keeps it a secret--I'd guess Utah).
The stone is large but also thin...so I was unable to remove all the pits without shattering it. I'm still happy with the end result-so that is all that really matters. :)
Breeders Note: I have a micro-hatchling (not shown yet) that has taken two meals and then has stopped eating for the last two weeks, this is a bad sign.
One more week and I will have to start assist/force feeding. I was really hoping I wouldn't have to do that at all this year...:hmm:

BP = Orange Dream/Het VPI Axanthic/50 Het Hypo (in shed for photo).
The stone is a piece of Black Agate from Madagascar (not the easiest to photograph).
You can see the mirror reflection of the snake in the surface up close. :)
Breeders Note:
My Clutch #14 finished hatching. That makes all 14/14 done. I lost 3 eggs total (not bad).

BP = 100% Het VPI Axanthic/50% Het Hypo with a chunk of dyed Brazilian Agate.
I had bought a box of broken Brazilian Agate bookends off Ebay a while back...some of them can be tumbled/polished and cleaned up nicely. :)

BP = 100% Het Clown/50% Het Hypo with a large piece of tumbled/polished Montana Agate. :)
Note: All hatchlings shown past this point for 2025 are in my holdback group.
Breeders Note: My Spider/Black Pastel/Lesser female ball python (2022 offspring--Photo #295) was mated for the first time yesterday and died spontaneously overnight. :dead:
With no prior symptoms-I did not perform a necropsy because I consider this a fluke event.
Even after decades of breeding ball pythons I can still count the number of adult losses on one hand...(this makes three).

Weird, but then again, tomorrow isn't guaranteed to any of us.

Pumpkins are nice for the fall season, but gourds are cool too...
