Hey Jeff!
here's a few pics of the first two hatchlings! That one sure has a temper! But then...so did her mom as a baby and now she's the most tame of my Pinesnake group! Anyhow, I'm very happy with baby number two.

The first baby is one that was trailing a bit of umbilical whatever and so I put him in a deli cup for the first day and he dropped it and closed up nicely. Three out, and four more to go with this clutch. I'll let everyone shed and then post pics of the whole group. See ya in Tinley!

Second Northern Pine clutch is beginning to dimple as of last night. So it can't be long! Just think how big these kids will be by October! That is the thing that got me at a show I did a few years back. Kept having this corn snake guy coming by my table and shaking his head. And finally I realized he didn't believe my labeling of my pines. He didn't believe my baby pines were from this year, or that my yearling was only a year old... hee hee hee! Just look how big they are at hatchling! He was wrongly thinking they come out closer to corn snake size!

They come out ready to tackle hopper mice and kick it up to weanling not long after! I always start mine out on fuzzies though. I try to grow my pines slowly so I don't have any regurge problems.
