'At a Boy Simon!! Congratulations!!! it's been a good week for both of us..
sipping some 90' cuvee Dom Perrignon hope you dont mind me having one for you!
You're born to herp man... welcome back to Breeders Realm!!

[Simon R. Sansom]

Thanks everyone! I'm pretty excited.

Invictus; Only two have hatched so far out of the clutch of fifteen.The eggs were laid over a period of more than 48 hours, so I assume that the rest will gradually start to pip over the next 24 hours or so (I hope).
I don't like to talk money on the forums, but the babies will be $700.00/pair, Canadian funds.

Roy, you're the best confidence-builder I know, my friend. Thanks.

[Invictus]

What is their temperament like?

[LdyDrgn]

I love these guys!! I will eventually get one or two ;)

[Katt]

WOW!!! Congrats!!! That's fantastic. Is this the second batch ever hatched in Canada? Those blue heads are great!! Be proud, you're the envy of rat snakers in Canada.

[Simon R. Sansom]

Hi, Invictus,
They're not bad temperament-wise, considering they're not even a week old. I've been nipped a couple of times, but then I've got 13 of 'em, so that's not bad. They will calm down as they get a bit bigger and more confident. Mom amd Dad are totally calm.

Katt;
Thanks very much for the kind words! Yes, to the best of my knowledge this is the second reproduction of ridleyi in Canada. I'm pretty excited!

Wow Simon, those are gorgeous babies.

You have caused me to commit the sin of envy, oh well, one more sin.

Congrats man, you deserve it!
