Another assortment of stones: Obsidian, Silver Sheen Obsidian, Mahogany Obsidian, Snowflake Obsidian, Granite, and Brazilian Agate.
Ball Python is a Pastel/Lesser/Het Gravel or YB.
I produced a bunch of Pastel/Lesser/Het Gravel or YB offspring last year (2024). I picked out my three favorites and then I was going to vend the others, but, then I started thinking: What if I had selected three Gravel based specimens because I liked the darker color? Gravel and Yellowbelly are supposed to be indistinguishable, but, what if I could subconsciously identify them based on shading as hatchlings? Long story short: I had to keep a lot of holdbacks...had to...

Oh, the torture of selective breeding! You have my sympathy (..."I had to keep a lot of holdbacks...had to...").

I think the reflection of the ball python in the tumbled Thunderegg fragment is pretty cool. 
Ball python = 66% Het Clown/50% Het Lavender Albino...I would guess Het for both based on color and patterning.

BP = GHI/Fire/Het Gravel or Yellowbelly.
Assorted stones displayed, upon quick review it looks like Tiger Iron, Quartz, Quartzite, Chalcedony, Agate, and a few others.

Re: Snakes and Stones
I thought this vintage Imperial glass pitcher below looked pretty cool.
For the $17 USD I paid: I'm not going to think too hard about what I'm going to use it for-other than a light catcher in the window...

Ball python is the Spider Highway from Photo #362 (they grow fast).

Beautiful & a nice find. You're not the only one that enjoys "light catching" old glassware in the window. My dining room window ledges are similarly occupied.
