First GA Couperi hatched

bwsmith Jun 20, 2010 11:10 PM

Well the first of the clutch has hatched. I am pretty sure that this the first legal private captive breeding of Drymarchon couperi in Georgia since they went protected in 1979. it will be donated to another educator or educational institution for public education. It was incubated at 76 degrees for only 88 days. Does that seem low to anyone else? She was born from one of the smaller eggs and is 30 grams.
