Re: Snakes and Stones
Photo #86
Some of you may remember this photo: I posted it near Christmas last year.
The snake is a single gene Fire. I can tell by the scale sheen in the photo that this snake had just hatched.
I remember collecting this milky quartz with red iron banding at a section of the CT river, and a rather disagreeable encounter with a bald eagle. I think I dropped half the rocks I collected while fleeing. I regret not getting a photo of the bird, but, I was very dedicated to protecting my face/eyes. I returned to the location earlier this year (2021) and had no issue with eagle intervention.

That's gorgeous! BPs look really nice in orange-reds.

Even though it's a bit scary, it sounds like a fun adventure to remember. I wonder if it was a mamma with a nest nearby.

I would assume it was a mama defending her nest or offspring. I recently tried to help* a blue jay chick that was blown out of the nest by strong winds, & boy was I dive-bombed by the parents! For trying to help, lol, so I can't imagine dealing with an eagle- Yikes! (*my dog actually found it first, & believe me, my intervention was necessary, but the parent jays sure didn't see it that way.)

Some common local grey granite-esque stones.
I thought an Axanthic in blue paired nicely.

Re: Snakes and Stones
Just got back from the Manchester, NH Reptile Expo today 6/27/21. I have attended every reptile expo there for years until C-19 hit, this is the first one I've been to in a while.
We were only there about 15 minutes total. 10 minutes was spent trying to explain to a non-english speaking vendor that I wanted to buy an insect cup full of 'Horn Worms' (as I waved my cash and pointed at them). However, he would not sell them to me until I called them 'Goliath Worms', fine, fine, whatever, same thing lol.
Took a few rushed photos of random critters shown below (amidst the human swarm). Many large ball python breeders in my area did not attend--I did not see anything too unusual to my eyes.
I only saw two snakes at the expo with the specific gene I wanted..one was $125 and the other was part of a $3K Banana combo from the same breeder...the last photo below is of my pickup ($125).
Pastel Blade Het Clown
Sorta looks like a Pastel OD, but, no surprise there...Blade, Enchi, and OD have a habit of getting mixed up on ID.

I guess we can forgive you for not including any stones, just this once. I really like those pale aqua frogs with the aqua feet! -what are on earth they?

Hahaha. There was a girl there selling small pieces of decorative petrified wood for $8/lb, but, I didn't take any photos....
Those are Amazon Milk Frogs. Super cute! Their shape and size seemed very similar to Whites Tree Frogs. They looked like they were captive bred and in perfect condition.
