The eggs were hatched in exactly 60 days at 84F
The adults were brumated from Dec to mid March at 52-55F
Previously posted below is a bit of the history
I've bred Northern Pines a decade or so ago, but these are my first Black Pinesnake Eggs.... I'd forgotten how huge Pine snake eggs are.
This is a perfect(no slugs) clutch of 11 from a big 6 foot plus female .
The brown egg is a Canada grade A chicken egg for size comparison. They are about the size of Ball Python eggs.
