How adorable!

Your boy snake has such a pretty pattern. He looks to be a good foot long. Are you going to name the girl Spitfire to match her personality. Thank you for the update & pictures. A person can learn a lot from your sharing.

Yahoo! Individual baby pics are uploaded!! I was feeling overwhelmed with 22 babies to take care of, so I selected the best ten and sold the rest of them at a reptile expo last weekend. The breeder who I got Kostya from claimed the nicest of the girls, so I am left with nine, plus Pearl has graced me with eight more eggs!

I'm thinking now that I should have held more babies back though...I posted them up last night, and already five of them might be spoken for.

Baby #1 is my favorite. I think that even though I don't need another boy, I'm going to keep him awhile and watch him grow up, then maybe sell him once he's a little bigger. Or maybe keep him. Who knows...


Baby #2 is the brightest of the girls. She was spoken for within five minutes of the pictures being uploaded. She'll be living with my friend Bob from Mountain Folk Serpents!








Baby boy #6 would like to EAT ME! He's a bitey little creature! I do love a snake with attitude! See how he flattened his head into a triangle to makehimself look SCARY! At this age, when they bite you, it feels like you've stroked your finger across a piece of velcro.






Baby #9 is also spoken for. He's also HIPER and almost impossible to get a picture of. He figured out almost instantly that he could climb out of the bowl, and I couldn't get him to hold still at all!

Soo fun! Glad so many are getting good homes! Hey, you should tell their new parents about Pet of the Day! It'd be fun to have on of her babies be a star some day! And meanwhile, we know they are all snake friends, so that would be great!

They are zoo cute, and you can assure #6 I was terrified by his scariness - NOT! See cute at this age!

Just for grins, do you have a photo of the entire bowl so we can see how big it is?
I'm curious to know how big they are in comparison.

hah, you've got me 'saying' something I never imagined I would say! They're lovely little snakes!

The babies look like they are a good 12 to 18 inches long? Do you keep them all in separate containers to tell them apart or put the boys & girls separate? I love their coloring & can see different patterns on their heads too. I am generally scared of snakes but also have a big curiosity about them.

How are these guys doing?

[snakemama]

Sorry guys, I've been in Montana for awhile! Just got back yesterday!

The babies are looking good! They each live in a little ziploc tupperware with holes poked in it, I have all of the tupperware in a temperature-controlled rack. My sister in law forgot to come feed them while I was out of town, so tonight they'll be getting more food and they'll be HUNGRY!
