Thanks,
The snake ID is a difficult one. I purchased him at a reptile Expo a decade or so ago from a basement breeder and he was marked as 'Firefly?'. The breeder was selling him because 'he only produces bad eggs'...luckily I have had no issue. With me he is a proven Fire/Pastel, but, none of his offspring match his color. It has not aligned with my project goals to try and prove if he has any additional recessive genes of interest.
The rock is Stone Canyon Jasper (California). The snake pictured has a large head, so the stone is a decent size...due to the 'healing lines' in the rock: it is tough to tumble a larger piece without fractures.

Mine too, I just didn't mention it before.

Thank you, Thank you. This photo turned out better than expected--sometimes I get lucky.
My high school art teacher always told me that I get an 'A' for effort and an 'F' for execution. Thankfully I was scored in art based on effort....

Photo #77
In the area around my house there is a proliferation of Feldspar (same material as Photo #7), when tumbled I can sort the pieces into: The Greys, Blue-Greys, and Everything Else.
Here are some Grey pieces.
Nothing was included for scale, but, the ball python is a 4 year old female.

Re: Snakes and Stones
Photo #80
Green = Chrysocolla (Arizona)
Orangey = Petrified Wood (Arizona)
Brown = Smokey Quartz (India)
Snake = Black Pastel Het Pied
Note: I didn't round out the petrified wood too much because I thought it looked neat-as is.

Whatever is going on with him/her is pretty cool. It sounds like you have at least proved it to be heritable if this is the offspring. Reminds me a bit or orange dream or JKR's peach project.
Also, really cool info about quartz and topaz. I didn't know any of that.
