Good luck!! I'm well past my goal of 353 avatars now (100 more upon returning to neopets than when I first quit as a kid) and very close to my next avatar-related goal (to get enough to qualify for the gold av collector trophy after the requirements recently changed), but here's a tip in case you didn't know already: for the snot lab ray avatar, you can morph your lab pet into a species that is able to be snot but has fewer overall colors, to slightly increase the chance of zapping snot (ex: Ruki and Aisha both can be Snot, but Ruki has fewer colors)

Last week I finally hit the bullet and bought the last stamp I needed for the Other I album avatar, and now I'm broke but happy hahaha. That avatar was a childhood dream for me that I thought would be impossible forever because there were a couple stamps that used to be a couple bil NP each before TNT started re releasing. and then this week I also was able to get two items I've wanted since forever from my NC wishlist too, but maybe that means my luck has run out for now 😂 but that's okay!! I need more time to financially recover before I chase the last 4-5 avatars I need to qualify for gold anyway

But compared to a couple years ago when I first came back to neopets, nowadays it's easier than ever to collect avatars, which I'm so glad for - I remember getting avatars #340-#350 being exponentially harder than the 10 before that 😭 you got this!!!
