Snakes and Stones

Another stone similar to those from Photo #412, this one is pinkish instead of bluish though...both types of stone were collected from the same depleted volcano.
Ball python is a 100% Het YB or Gravel.
And just for fun: Below are a few photos from my local hiking trips this weekend. Fall colors in effect. :)

Assorted stones (Jaspers/Agates/Petrified Wood) with a 66% Het Lavender Albino/50% Het Piebald.
Looking at the pattern on the snake-I would bet that it is a Double Het. :)

Ball python is a 100% Het for YB or Gravel with an agate (from Mid-West USA).

Note: This is my 65th ball python/photo of the 2024 season, ~100 more to go!

Ball python is a 66% Het Lavender Albino/50% Het Piebald. Very obvious Het Lav Albino to me, Het Piebald...don't see it...
Stones are a mix of Polychrome/Desert Jasper-From Madgascar+The Mid-West USA (they look similar-and I'm too lazy to separate them out). :)

In other news my gf and I stopped by The Old Country Store in Moultonborough NH. The Old Country Store
We visit every now and then--it was built in 1781, certain areas are dark and definitely have a haunted vibe...
Gift shops aren't the best place to look for rocks, but, I live in New England-so I don't have many options lol...
I could make a lot of comments on the images below, but, I will leave them to your imagination.

Pastel/100% Het for YB or Gravel with a piece of Pegmatitic Granite.

Fun fact: Gemstones and crystals can sometimes be captured inside Pegmatitic Granite...so if you run across a deposit...it is good to break off a few pieces and check...:)

The shape looks like a gravestone. It is October though so it fits. ;)

Hahaha, it sure does! I'm impressed that you picked up on it. Photo #417 was meant to be a Halloween image.
I was going to show the original photograph, and then digitally edit the background to make it look like a cemetery.
.......Since some individuals are 'triggered' by my digital tools-we will have to stick with the original photo. :)

Ball python is a 66% Het Lavender Albino/50% Het Pied with agates from Western USA.
I doubt either Het is present in this one.
