Photo #468
Pastel Piebald with some Mexican Crazy Lace Agate and some assorted yellowish-stones (Agate/Jasper/Quartz) from various locations.
I have ~30 more photos for my 2024 season.
I think I am going to continue this post in a new thread (Labeled: Snakes and Stones - Part 2) when I start producing hatchlings in 2025 (The Year of the Snake).
I will maintain the consecutive numbering of the photos-as it helps my records.
I did miss the opportunity to photograph a clutch of Enchi/Het Clowns I produced in 2024--I had moved them to my holdbacks and then hatched out another clutch with better markings and swapped them out. Since they were originally marked as 'holdbacks'-I did not prioritize them for photos and I sold them before I noticed (just recently)...oh well!
Breeders Note: I have been crossing a double het male ball python with several double het females that look identical to him. Usually I study the male and pick a pattern trait that is unique to him, but, this guy has pretty standard markings. I've been probing to confirm ID every time I have to rotate him to a new mating. I mentioned it off-hand to my gf and of course she said I should just scribble an 'X' on his back with a sharpie...ughhhh...I should have thought of that sooner. Probing only takes me a second-so I guess I didn't really bother to stop and consider my options.
