Had some success with Mandarins recently. Thought I'd share a pic of them hatching. What a fun species.

Nice looking hatchling. Do you have any shots of the parents on the web. I'd love to see them

I posted this pic of the parents copulating a month or so back, but I think it's a fun pic so I'll put it up again. Thanks for the compliment.

Beautifull snakes! Is the males biting of the females neck part of the mating "rituall?"

That's pretty common in the reptile breeding world. The males are pretty tough on the females sometimes. I've seen cases in lizards where the male actually opens up the skin of the female. Check out this pic of my Shinisaurus breeding this year. Talk about rough sex! Ouch!
