Dotz the mama and Mazar the papa in lock this spring. She is the one with the broken triads. The other snake in blue is Zunchara, Dotz' cousin, who although mated with Mazar a few weeks later it didn't take.



I incubated these montane species eggs at lower temps than the standard 82 F because it seemed logical, being as they are a snake that prefers cooler temperatures. The eggs started hatching on day 70 and will be all hatched by tomorrow; just waiting for number seven to finish exiting the egg. In the past I have hatched fence lizards at 80 + or - F with excellent results. Right now I have another new clutch of fence lizard eggs and a clutch of bull snake eggs going at the same temps.



I forgot to weigh the first five babies out of the egg but number six weighed 9.5 grams out of the egg.



Thanks for the compliment! Your pyro is a beautiful individual, too!
