    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.

    Re: Snakes and Stones

    My gf and I went to the New England Reptile Expo in Manchester NH today 02FEB2025. $12/head to get in, then $8 for validated parking. ($32 just to visit----kinda pricey)
    It was moderately crowded (don't let my photos fool you).

    I had an issue with the air in the expo room...maybe it was super dry due to the heating system and the single digit (F) temperatures outside, but, it antagonized my sinuses and respiratory system terribly. As soon as I entered the room I got a tickle in my throat that got steadily worse and turned into a bad cough. My gf started coughing about the same time as me and claimed she had the same issue. We were only there for 30 minutes before we had to go outside. We improved almost immediately in the fresh air. We could have gone back in, but, there was a bunch of young crying/screaming children...and we had already did a quick scan of all the tables-so we left. I'm really glad I did not have a table at the expo: I could not imagine being there all day...

    Here are a few photos (17):

















    What did we buy?
    My gf bought a fresh container of Repcal, and a big block of Coconut Chips. I bought nothing.
