More eggs! and Pictures

[Catherine]

Corn snakes can double clutch, as we call it. They will lay a second smaller set of eggs. I think it is more a sign that a female is in her prime. If the weather was so bad that breeding started late they might not do it. My girls are at their best right now so a second set of eggs was expected.

This is Mike and Sam's first clutch. There were 18 in total.
This little guy is still wet and I think his colour makes him look like a little tiger, sort of.

Here is one coming out of the egg.

Here he is fully out

Here is the whole lot of them, all 18.

Of course theydo not stay put.

Compare them to my hand and you can see how small they are.

Getting the lid back on was like herding cats.

These are Aurora and Sam's babies. They just hatched.

They are still being very secretive. I know I have 15 empty egg shells so there must be 15 babies.

I do not know exactly what colours they are. I just know they are all oranges and whites.

I will get a better idea when I move them into their own baby boxes.

You may have noticed that Sam is the father of all three of my clutches. Sam may be small, but he is my best breeder.

The babies look very different from each other because they have very different mothers. The three moms live with Sam as a big happy family. They all really like each other.
