Western Ratsnake eggs

This was my first breeding of Mexican Baird's and this female came through nicely...

...and a couple of days later this Bandera Co. Baird's female deposited her clutch...

...and on the same day this intermontana female laid these.

Very nice!! I've always had a soft spot for Bairds... but never could figure out how to create more room for them. LOL.

Congrats on the eggs! Hope you get a 100% hatch rate.

Very good Scott, awesome! Those bandera county bairdi look great, don't they? How many Mexican bairdi eggs did you end up with? They all look great, and the intermontana eggs are huge in comparison!

Thanks Todd....The Mexican Baird's laid ten eggs and the intermonta eggs are much larger than what most other guttata produce, the hatchlings come out rather chunky and ready to go.

That Bandera Co is a beautiful animal. Why can't we get Bairdi like that over here?
