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.
