We have two perfect hatchlings so far of the Pseustes sulphureus. They're pretty big for hatchling snakes.
None of the other eggs have started to pip yet.
I'm working on writing an article on incubation and hatchling care to accompany my other about husbandry and acclimation.
I hope everyone is doing well.
Here's a shot of one of the hatchlings!

That is absolutely fabulous!! They look awesome!

Let's hope to see more of those in the near future.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Billy and Nicholas!
I will keep everyone updated. They seem to be very healthy, and I expect that a few more will be hatching soon.

awesome Roy!
I want to buy a baby from you next year! I have a feeling the large colubrids are gonna grow in popularity in the next couple years when people get tired of the ball,boa,corn thing. And the few of us that are working to establish these snakes are gonna have a blast.
I have full faith that you and bill will have some good captive psuestes breedings in the near future.

wicked cool looking baby snakes

Right on, Nate! You're right up there at the top of the list!

I hope your hunch is correct too. These snakes deserve some more recognition. The giant colubrids are a fun bunch.

Looks like you will have to revise your ticker at the bottom of your posts.. 1.1 Pseustes sulphureus ???

Haha! I was planning on it, but I want to wait until the rest are out and about.

The two happen to be 1.1? Any more yet?

Congrats Roy, that has got to feel good!
