Snakes and Stones

Dubias make pretty great alternative to worms for composting too! I love them. I never thought to freeze them, but I bet that works pretty well to preserve them for food for less picky reptiles and chickens. I think my cresties would eat them frozen thawed.

A while back I was visiting a little house in my area:

Had a little private beach:

Found this rock, looked kinda odd, orange color was pretty neat:

A little bit disappointed how it tumbled...you never know until you try though...

If you guessed another Het VPI Axanthic--you would be right.

"...a little house"???

"...a little house"???

Size is relative. Just a 'little' bit larger than my own.
I do like the architectural highlights of this one better though.

The gryphons are cool, Greek versions...

Not sure what that thing on their head is supposed to represent...Googlers: feel free to let us know.

I am jealous of the backyard...then I think of all the maintenance...and I'll pass on keeping it as a summer home.

Behold! Athena and her sacred animal: The Snake



Great place to watch a thunderstorm.

I'm with you on the yard work. (I'd sooner have a lap pool anyway.) Way too much house-work too, no thanks! Full-time job just sweeping those chimneys & keeping those fireplaces going.

Thank you so much for this thread!!

I love crystals and have been wondering how my Ball girl would react to them if I put a few in her enclosure! I find them to be so soothing and by your pictures, it seems the snakes feel the same way!

Your snake won't mind them at all- just something to investigate or rest on.

Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad you like the photos.

My sentiments exactly!
I'm sure ball pythons will appreciate rocks and crystals to examine-more than my cats do...

I tried very hard to integrate a several gene combo morph into the photo, but, after several lackluster attempts...I chose a 'regular' Axanthic for the subject.
