These hatchlings (creamsicle by great plains ratsnake) have had their first shed and are feeding like pigs on large fuzzies. Their color is starting to come in now - definite orange tones in the saddles - they are really the color of rootbeer.
They are huge snakes - were bitey before their shed, now have settled down a lot - still so much more active when held than corns. The corn hatchlings just wrap their tails around your fingers and watch things - these guys are more like kings or milks - in a big rush to get anywhere else.
Best part is going to be naming these - all the rootbeer brands!
two of the girls - the color is not like any other cornsnake color I have seen.
