Snakes and Stones

[Lord Sorril]

New England Reptile Expo 05 MAY 2024

The LED lighting still wreaks havoc on my automatic camera focus, and attempting to tinker with my camera focus draws the attention of an over-enthusiastic crowd to elbow me out of the way before I can recalibrate.
I wasn't really paying attention to the ball pythons as I was helping my gf try and find a high red ornate frog (we did not).
























For my mother I bought: A Jewel Orchid, a Purple Passion plant, and a Rex Begonia.
My gf bought: Hornworms, Magnolia Leaves, and fresh Reptile Calcium.

Oooh, I want that Taiwan Beauty rat snake! Looks a lot like the ones I had, only mine had a bolder pattern of black diamonds. The hypo does nothing for me- I like the normal coloration. Now those are snakes that I'm sure would fish things out of a water bowl... Pity I never thought about testing it when I had them. Such alert, fun snakes, but they get SO big. Mine weren't biters, just restless, not good at sitting still- & beautiful! Love those eyes. And boy do they EAT!

I like the bold colors on that scaleless rat snake too, but I wouldn't want one- I likes my snakes with scales. (He should be cheaper too, since he's missing some "equipment"? )

Hey, thanks for sharing with the rest of us poor souls here that don't get out much to these things.

Yeah, I don't get out as much as I used to either. I think I missed the previous 2 New England Reptile Expos after missing none for many years.

Low Expression Orange Dream/Het Clown with a tumbled ThunderEgg.
Note: The brown parts of the thunderegg are soft rhyolite and the opaque is a hardened agate core which makes tumbling a larger piece without it fracturing-tricky business.

Wow! ^ ^ ^ Beautiful snake AND stone! I know we're not seeing your "goofs" here, but you're still quite an excellent rock tumbler. ("rumbler"?) ("lapidist"?) Very patient too-
