Stones are assorted...but mostly feldspar and quartzite with a few agates and jasper.

Breeders Note: I had mentioned previously that my Axanthic female that successfully laid a clutch in 2025 was not gaining weight so I had removed her from breeding this year. She was still eating but losing weight simultaneously. Last week her body condition crashed and she seemed to be in considerable pain and I euthanized her. Upon necropsy she had a textbook metastatic cancerous growth on her liver. Given the number of ball pythons I maintain...I'm actually kind of surprised that I don't see this more often. It still gets me down, but I'm glad it is not something contagious....
