Well, it's felt like a short summer. After all of the anticipation, the incubator is empty. All of the hatchling Easterns are gone. Unfortunately, I had VERY poor road-killed egg rescue success this year. There were a few, though, which makes the effort worthwhile.
This is the final hatchling, which went today. It was the prettiest of the bunch, and I saved it for a good friend. Luckily, he signed on as a member of kingsnake during Daytona weekend. I may actually get to see the colors, as it grows, if he posts pics on the forum. If they do end up changing the law in my state, I may be able to hold back some of these non-releasables.
Egbert and Goldie are the parents, unless Goldie is still retaining sperm from more than 6 years ago. The parents are pictured in my album. I'm working on a new pic of the female.
