Pics of my first ever hatchlings!!

Here are the pics of my first ever hatchlings from my Cal Kings. She laid 8 eggs, 2 babies died in the eggs, and these 6 hatched. We are so excited for our first ever snake babies. 4 are being sold, one kept by us, and one given to my brother-in-law who has provided us with so much of his herp knowledge, plus tons of his herp stuff.

Here are the parents:

The father, Severus. My husband has owned him for about 8 years, and he was full grown when he got him, so exact age is unknown, probably 10-15 years old. He had been bred before by my brother-in-law.




The mother, Pansy. Also full grown when we got her earlier this year, her exact age is also unknown, probably 7-10 years old. This was her first year breeding.

Thumbs up Congrats!

What was your hatch rate? In other words, I see 6 babies, how many eggs were laid?

75% born from a breeding of older snakes and the first time breeding of the female sounds pretty good to me. Do you know the sex ratio of the hatchlings?

I will actually know the sexes later this afternoon. I am not yet comfortable probing them myself, but the man I get a majority of my reptiles from (including mama kingsnake) is going to sex them for me. I will post once I know.

I would hope that this person is going to pop them as opposed to probing them. I wouldn't suggest probing hatchlings.

I'm sure he will pop...he breeds himself and owns a reptile store here in Rochester. He actually was watching the eggs for me while I was away and the first one hatched the day we went to pick them up...and he popped that one.

Really, it's me who wasn't knowledgeable about the probing or popping, so I'm sure I misspoke. Thanks though!
