I had a bit of a space issue for a few months back in the spring and housed about four or five of ratsnakes together for a little while in a very large cage. Well my female 08 everglades became gravid. I thought a male corn mated with her since he had been brumated, but there was also a male bairds in the cage as well. Now that six of the nine eggs have hatched I'm not so sure it was the corn snake. What do you guys think? I'm leaning toward everglades/bairdi cross. By the way neither the glades or the bairds were brumated and the female wasn't even two years old yet. Here are pics of the first one. I'll post more soon.
