Clutch #1 hatched, Clutch #5 laid

Clutch #1 hatched a few days ago and I was very surprised at the results. The pairing was a Mojave male to a normal female; this is what I saw when I cut the eggs...

...a little pinstripe poking his head out. It appears I put my Pinstripe male in with the female at some point and didn't remember or note it. I was very surprised to say the least. In total there are 3 Pinstripes and 3 normals, 1 male and 2 females of each. Here are all six out of the egg.

And today my 5th clutch of the season was laid. The pairing was Pewter male to normal female (hopefully I'm actually right about this one...). Unfortunately this clutch doesn't look too good, 4 eggs weighing 362g and 4 slugs and the four eggs have very weak looking veins. I'm hoping these eggs make it but I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't.

Thanks. At first I was a bit disappointing to see Pinstripes as I was hoping for some nice Mojave females to hold back however I am happy with the results, 6 healthy babies and 3 nice pinstripes.

Oh my god. They're so cute my head may explode...and clearly there's only going to be more.

Newborn snakes are the cutest things I've ever seen. God help me if anyone ever gets a picture of one yawning.

I agree! Have you seen a twin photo yet? Those are just amazing!

Congrats on a great clutch! And, hopefully the other turns out to be just as healthy. :gj:

Congrats! Wish you luck with that second clutch!

Congrats! Great way to start the year even if it was with a bit of surprise. Best of luck on the recent lay, hope they all make it.
