Northern Pinesnake babies!!!!
I was in Cypress doing a 3 day reptile display, and last night when I talked to Sheila she told me that the northern pinesnakes had hatched.
I was very releived as I was worried that the eggs were too moist. They bulged early on, and did not dimple near the end.
It was 69 days at 78 - 81 F.
Long story short, I'm home tonight and there are 7 perfect little Timber babies in rubbermaids. The things are huge, It would take a cornsnake 6 months to get this big. They all popped out of the egg within 12 hours of each other.
Baby pits are so cute, our little bulls we had in 2002 (42 days at the same temps by the way) were some of the cutest baby snakes we ever had, with their little grover eyebrows.
Hopefully Vanan will get a chance to post the pictures he took of them, as they are real cuties - wee replicas of their parents. Katt and Vanan got to see them before I did.
We were lucky enough to be give another Northern pinesnake. We were told it was a male, but is actually a female which has bred with Timber. If we get no more eggs this year, we will try both females next year - northern pines are so awesome.
