Well, as of this point all of the Pseustes, but one, have gone through their first shed. All of the eggs hatched, so there are eight specimens, all of which appear flawless. They are now beginning to exhibit some yellow coloration along the sides of the body. This is extremely noticeable when they are puffed up and it appears that the skin itself is where most of the yellow coloration is exhibited.
What's more is that four of the eight have accepted frozen thawed pinks as their first meals! These are great snakes, and if the others prove to come around, I anticipate no problems with them.
