Late last week I came home from work to find this. I had to wait 62 days. This years crop of St. Mary's Coastals have hatched. I now have 14 new hatchlings. I also included a photo of the first one out.

Those are just awesome little gems!..
Thanks for sharing those.

Pete, Very nice coastals, what a big clutch! Was this the females first ever clutch? What would the record be for number size of temporalis egg clutches? Thanks for sharing...John

John

This year was her third clutch. She originally laid 19 eggs of which 14 hatched. I also got 14 last year. The pictures are a year or so old. The first picture is the female and the second the male. She is currently around 34 inches long and the male alittle smaller.

Pete

Hey Pete,

Congratulations on an excellent clutch. They look great as always.

All the eggs are from one female. Here she is. The photo is a year or so old so she is currently around 34 inches long. She produced 19 eggs total this year of which 14 hatched. I also got 14 last year. They just hatched over the weekend and am waiting for them to shed. It will be a month or so before they are all sexed and eating.

Pete

Huge Clutch for any milk!

Congrats!

Great looking baby! Post pics of the rest when you can.

Disclaimer: I do keep several snakes in pairs, and some in groups. However I realize that things can go wrong, and I have to keep a close eye on those groups, to be sure they are not being adversely affected by these living conditions. Also if one happens to eat it's cagemate, it is 100% my fault, and I know the risks in advance!

What's wrong with using CAUTION?!?!?!

That's a very cool looking shot of the eggs hatching.

Yes it is. I believe I posted a pic of the egg mass back in April. She produced 19 eggs total and 14 hatched.

Super nice stuff, Pete! I've still got about 3 weeks to go before I have any NA milks hatch.
