After 67 days our KY locale northerns began pipping. Through the incubation we maintained a temperature range from overnight lows of 78°F through day time highs of 86°. Out of seven eggs it appears that we will have a 100% hatch rate.


The first snake out already had a yellowish tone to it. Most seem to develop this over time so it should be interesting to see how this one looks in about a year.


A group shot of some of the hatchlings immediately out of the egg.


The mother of these snakes. The father is quietly digesting a rat presently and I thought it best not to disturb him.

The greater portion of these hatchlings will be donated to the zoo here in KY and will go on display once they are large enough.

Hope you enjoyed the photos!
