I'm stoked!

As some of you know, my season has been odd.
Lost a couple of clutches, have had several clutches where some of the eggs go all the way to hatch time but the babies just die and don't hatch. A few things like that.
I've had some nice snakes hatch too but the numbers are kind of low....Anyway..
I think a lot of you know that my motley creamsicles are probably at the top of my list of favorites. Like the one picture below in the post about UT corns...lol
The parents of that motley cream gave me a nice clutch of 16 this season and those eggs started hatching today.
The mother is a cream het motley and the dad is a stripe cream.
Five babies have hatched so far and all five are motley creams...whoo whoo!
How's that for good odds for a change?
Eight more eggs are pipping as I type but I'm not sure what they are yet.
I also checked on my okeetees and they have started pipping.
Can't wait to see how they turn out.
here are a couple of pictures of motley cream hatchlings.
They aren't very good pictures, I just snapped them quickly as I was putting them in their little dishes.
They aren't quite as red as it shows they are more of a deep orange. Pretty good color right out of the egg.

I have had a good season so far, but no Corns yet. I had something like 35 clutches of colubrids and won't complain but I did have no less than 50 slugs too, maybe more. Just have to take the bad with the good ya know? I look forward to seeing lots of pics from you on here, ttyl Tom Stevens

way to go Kin!!
Yeah, I had one just like that in an '05 clutch. Sold it to a friend in Alabama (snake master)
If I get a couple like that I may have to keep them or talk him into getting this one to go with the one he already has...lol

Nice to hear thing are looking up for you. I've also got a clutch of 16 pipping today.
I'm going to need a bit of help from you guys to ID what morphs I have.
Good luck with the rest of your clutches.
