Re: Racer eggs hatched
That first one looks like it might have slightly more attitude than the second one. Or the second one likes photos better haha.

Yeah I would like to get them established on something before I release them. Im gonna take them to a pine scrub sanctuary near me. Nothing but natural Florida out there. I have seen small racers out there walking the trails.

Re: Racer eggs hatched
Nice job hatching the little critters out! But if you are going to release them, just release them. Immediately. Do not try to feed them. If you feed them, keep them for any significant period of time, or expose them to captive reptiles, they can be considered captives, and it is illegal to release captive animals. You also risk spreading disease and parasites. Every day you keep them reduces their chances of survival, and baby snakes have very long odds as it is. When it comes to nature it is almost always best to stay as hands off as possible. They really do not need our help, most people end up doing much more harm than good. If you actually want to keep them permanently we can help with that, but you need to be all in from the start. Coluber (Racer/Whips/Coachwhips) can be tough to start. Once started they are a lot of fun though.

I have kept them on the other side of the house from my captives. The only time I handled them was setting up tubs. I understand your point. I have always planned to release them. Unfortunately nature hasn't had much of chance with us destroying everything.

Re: Racer eggs hatched
Another thing- if you release them, please release them at the site where the parents originated. Don't pollute the gene pool someplace else.

I appreciate the advice. I have been involved with many wildlife reintroduction programs here localy. Helped Florida Atlantic Univeristy with sea turtles. Burrowing owls in south Florida with FWC. I understand the precautions and guild lines to follow. I wish I could release them in my backyard but lots are being developed quickly in Florida since the economy has improved. The mother of the eggs had scar down her back. About a month after I found her heading to work in the morning she was doa on the road two streets over. The sanctuary is around a mile away. They set land aside for nature hikes
