More water snakes

From one of my 5 female mangrove water snakes. She gave birth to 14 little guys last night.

FLASH!!

ha ha ha! Female #2 just gave birth to 14 also. Here's a shot of a half dozen. Does anyone else keep these snakes or watersnakes in general? They are really tiny newborns!

Sean, as I've said before here, these guys are the nicest water snakes there is. It may be just a laid back population I deal with (LOL!) but really only a few are nippy. I posted a pic a while back of one biting me, but heck, I had just surprised him and picked him up for a pic. No doubt disturbing his mating urges with the females nearby.

Pretty cool Mark! I dont blame the poor guy for biting you..lol

Are you expecting young from all five females?

Ben, water snakes give birth to live young so technically Mark didn't "hatch" them.

Actually, I am keeping only a very few, taking pics, documenting gestation, etc. and then releasing them where I found the adults. There aren't many people out there keeping them (yet) and so not many takers for the babies. I will have some pairs though.
