It was good to check in on the eggs to see this:

Messing around with my camera:

Cheers!

Awesome. I got a pair of those from Craig Trumbower in 2010 and they are the coolest snakes. I can't wait to pair them up. They look better and better with each shed. But I really like the way they look as babies too, like in your photo. How many total?

Unfortunately only 4 eggs made it in this clutch, I have two other clutches incubating right now, fingers crossed!

Pure mexican bairdi, purchased from Shannon Brown.


The dam died shortly after laying the eggs


The sire

Poor pics but I'm a novice at my DSLR camera.

How old were they when they bred? They still have quite a bit of juvie pattern, particularly the female. Mine are about two years old and have only very faint traces of pattern at this point. The male is very colorful, more than the female. But she is nice as well. I need to get some photos of them soon. Cool snakes for sure.
