Snakes and Stones

[Lord Sorril]

Sorry to hear about your job situation, L.S.

Thanks! I will refrain from commenting on the value of FDA regulation as it is now a political issue (apparently).

Photo #481

BP = Enchi/Het Clown
The stones are odds and ends from all over the United States.

Photo #482

66% Het Lavender Albino/50% Het Piebald Ball python with a chunk of Prairie Agate from South Dakota, USA.

This ball python photo is the last of the group of hatchlings I sold in 2024.
I have aprox. 20 more holdbacks I need to photograph for my 2024 set.

Photo #483

Pastel Piebald (5/5) with some larger pieces of Montana Agate.

Note: My gf said she didn't like the silver dollar I use for scale...so she told me not to use it-lol.
She bought me a snake coin for my 2025 photo set. Pictures to follow.

For just a second there that picture made me think of a strange-colored sea turtle swimming towards me?

Wow! Now that you mention it...It totally does look like a sea turtle!

I went to a super pricey upscale store in Worcester, Massachusetts the other day: Called Seed to Stem. The specialize in: plants, stones, and taxidermy: I could have spent all day looking at everything in there...but I was paying $5/hr for parking-and I'm a cheapskate...so I snapped a bunch of photos to look at later. Unfortunately I did not bring my dedicated camera because I was antique-hunting with my gf...so I was carrying my UV torch instead. The cell phone camera really fell short in comparison to my trusty Olympus. Regardless: Here a bunch of photos.

Note: Everything in the store was pricey, (with the exception of some of the dinosaur bones which were about market rate).
I did buy a variegated African Violet for my mother, and my gf bought an unusual species of Leopard Lily she did not have.

I could have arranged these photos better, but I spent so much time trying to fix the blur that I've had enough lol...

Not a fan of taxidermy (or snake bones either, since I doubt any of them passed from natural causes) but that's a real "eye candy" store with those beautiful arrangements & merchandise. Thanks for sharing- I really like that pottery piece with the snake skeleton painted on the side, but I'm content with the large Native American pot I have with orange, brown & amber rattlesnakes & other designs painted on it. There's just too many cool things to fit in my house anyway. That's the kind of store that's dangerous...even if I don't agree with everything they're selling, many things (including the plants) are too appealing to pass up.

Here is the coin that my partner got me for my 2025 photo set (assuming breeding season goes well):

A bit larger than my other coins:
