    My art teacher told me once that some of the greatest artists were never happy with their work because they thought they could do 'better'.
    I'm sure I could do better--just so little spare time these days...and I'm not even in the hatching season yet.

    Note: The red brazilian agate in the center is my latest 'favorite'.

    Got this ball python in a trade today...having trouble ID'ing the morph.
    Any guesses? I'm thinking Super Black Pastel Axanthic perhaps?
    He is a little nippy.

    I'd avoid his teeth if I were you. Nice chubby little Uracoan rattlebrat. (Crotalus vegrandis- found in Venezuela)

    Before:

    Because this material is soft I had to dry polish it in my vibratory tumbler (shown below).

    I'll bet that when you were a kid, your mother had to hide her Mixmaster from you! Or keep it under lock & key?

    They sure came out nice, by the way.

    Your mom should have gotten a medal of valor...

    I don't know, cobras look much like many other colubrids to me-? I think rattlesnakes, with the scales that shade their eyes, have more of a scowling look- but they "grew on me" anyway.
