Hey!

The first hatchling of my clutch of burm eggs arrived this afternoon. This one is from the same clutch that the preemie I posted a few weeks ago was from. Both snakes have intersting markings, especially considering that their parents are normals that are het for albino and labyrinth (I think the guy told me labyrinth).



I posted a few questions below the photos and would appreciate any/all input I can get.



Here's a few photos. My camera is on the blink so they didn't turn out very good. Sorry.













I need to know what temperature and humidity percentage to keep the newborns at and if there's an easy, simple setup.



I've got it in a plastic shoe box-type container with damp paper towels for substrate.



I've got the temp between 86 - 88 degrees, F.



I don't know how active they're supposed to be but this isn't very active but it is alert. When I had to top of the container to take photos, its skin started drying out, wrinkling. Is this normal?



I think this one is just a tad early, as far as hatch date. Eggs were laid April 21. Mother incubated them up until about 2 weeks ago and I've had them in an aquarium-style incubator at 90 - 92 degrees since.



Ya'll take care!
