A few shots of this year's hatchlings...

Since hatchings are wrapping up for the year, I figured I'd showcase a few shots of some of my favorite hatchlings this year.

Amel het Pewter Stripe


Dale's Opal


Hypo (het SQG) x Hypo Miami


Anery Stripe


Amber


Sunglow Motley


Amel Milk Phase (That thinks she's a Reverse Okeetee.)


Hypo ("A") Okeetee


It's been a great year for corns, that's for sure!

Nice group you have shown there. Thanks for sharing.

Very nice Zach.

One question though, how do you get the little buggers to sit still for the pictures? I have fits trying to photograph baby colubrids. I've never had any success taking pictures of them outside of a deli.

And three of them with tongue shots as well.

Thanks!

What I do is place them under an 8 oz white deli cup for 30 seconds or so, then quickly remove the cup. They're usually startled and freeze, and you have between 5 and 30 seconds to get some shots.

Then again there are the "springloaded" hatchlings that will never sit still, but this method usually gives you hope for a decent shot of them on the move.

they are beautiful, thanks for sharing the pics
