Snakes and Stones

[Lord Sorril]

You're making me homesick for where I used to live in the Mojave desert. I had lots of snowflake obsidian in my yard there- the previous builder-owners were rock-hounds & even left piles of mostly unopened geodes. I actually had a 9'+ saguaro cactus too- they're not supposed to grow outside the Sonoran desert (AZ) but they had planted that one & it thrived in the high desert of So. California.

That is really cool!
With crazy inflation these days you could have sold those unopened geodes from some good scratch now...

The only type of stone I would actually miss in my area would be white milky quartz and pink chert, all the granite-y type stones in my region have 'character', but, I'm not particularly fond of them.

In other news, my final ball python clutch (2023) in incubation has started hatching today 27OCT2023.

Many of my ball python females that did not lay eggs this season-have grown ridiculously large instead.
I'm getting a good workout now on cleaning days: Snake-Lifting
