Steve,Years ago I used to collect Red Ratsnakes and they would lay eggs and hatch at my place.The babies were allways huge!Nothing like the delly cup ssp.of today.Please post them when they hatch,I bet a lot of people would be supprised at their size if they are used to captive born corns.Or maybe not,it is the "field observation forum. Vic Morgan Jax.Fl.collector of the past before they were all run over.I live in Florida swamp land now south of the big city so the snakes just show up in my tortoise enclosures.Yesterday I watched a juvy Mt.Tortoise push a banded watersnake out of a cement block hole.It was funny neather wanted to give up the spot.The Tort.wone!
