Hi All,
This is a continuation of my Snakes and Stones thread here: https://ball-pythons.net/forums/show...kes-and-Stones
Part 1 catalogs my ball python breeding efforts starting in February 2021 up until July 2025. There are 504 numbered photos of ball pythons, each one displays a unique individual.
In addition to casually breeding ball pythons as a hobby: I also tumble and polish rocks.
I am not a 'professional' ball python business, rock tumbler, or photographer...I just like to have some fun.
I continue to capture #'d photos, each one showing a unique individual snake and a different rock (or set of) unless noted otherwise.
I will try to add a new photo every few days...it is currently unclear how many clutches I will have in 2025.
I'm not a rock expert, but some of them I can identify.
I'm pretty good at ID'ing ball pythons I hatch-with three genes or less...four or more genes and my ID's start getting shaky (without proof breeding).
I cannot go back and edit previous posts in this forum so any potential ID's that seem incorrect: Do take with a grain of salt.
Everyone is also welcome to post photos of their own snakes in this thread or discuss topics: I will continue to post photos at regular intervals.
I have used many methods for keeping ball pythons over the years, many of them are non-traditional and continue to be...
All posters: Please be respective of alternate methods of keeping.
OK! Here we go again!
Photo #505
Ivory Spider with some local granite-y stones from Massachusetts tumbled/polished.
Fun fact: The different colors in the granite represent different minerals:
White = Milky Quartz
Off-White = Feldspar
Salmon Pink = Potassium Feldspar
Black or Dark Brown = Biotite
Gold or Yellow = Muscovite
Black or Dark Green = Amphibole
...There are more, but these are some of the most common...
