Thank you for the compliment, but, nah, I think my photos will reach more people online in a digital format as opposed to a printed one. Besides....there are many beautiful coffee table books that are in the local bookstore clearance bin. :)
Most of the snakes shown with the 2020 image copyright are holdbacks that are currently in my collection. I will begin taking photos of all my ball python hatchlings with stones starting this year (2021) prior to rehoming. I expect my photo collection to grow significantly in a relatively short time and the plan is that each year (ideally) the morph combos will become more interesting over time...
Maybe if I decide to become a business or surface as an official breeder in a decade or two I can use the Snakes/Stones as my gimmick. ;)
If not a coffee table book, how about a calendar? :cool:

Hahaha, maybe someday in the far future I will include a free calendar with each snake purchase...
Currently my rock tumbling skills continue to grow, and (for better or worse) I'm becoming increasingly ambitious with my 'stone shaping' projects in 2021. :)
Is this really a rock? Or where did you find my brain, & can I has it back? :rolleye2:

Hahaha, Labradorite is always neat. It is not unusual for one to lose their mind. It is unusual for one not to find it again though. :)

These stones were found in Massachusetts as well. They were part of a 5lb. rock nodule that looked interesting so I broke it up and tumbled. I was disappointed that I had only found one of these nodules in my travels up to that point.
Last year I was thrilled to find another nodule...it weighed about 40lbs.--Unfortunately it was about 3 miles from my car on a deer-fly/mosquito infested hiking trail (and I had no tools with me). I really wanted it though...and paid the price in blood to carry it out...

Snake-lovers & rock-hounds have a lot in common- we all insist on collecting & carrying things that fight back. :rofl: You did good though.
