My Corn collection (pic heavy)

Awwww they're so adorable!

Here are some pics from the past few days. All 16 are now out of the eggs and appear healthy. Everyone has been weighed, labeled and put in their own bins. I'm about half way through sexing them. Several have pretty interesting dorsal patterns and I can already tell which ones are going to have white borders to their saddles.

Adorable! Congratulations!

So I wouldn't get over whelmed with my first breeding season and to give me a chance to learn and make corrections for incubation I purposely staggered my breeding. We just got 11 eggs from this caramel Miami last night. The babies should be very interesting if the hets prove out. Hannibal was the sire.

Here are a couple of the babies. They have already taken 3 meals.

Man oh man! Corn snakes are the species that caused me to fall in love with snakes as a child. I currently don’t keep any, but your photo of Hannibal has me thinking that I may have to change that. Beautiful animal.

Just hours before leaving for a weekend trip, one of Hannibal's babies decided to make an early appearance. It's only a caramel Miami like the dame. Hopefully some of the other babies prove out some of the hets.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e3df0ec37b.jpg

I love Corn snakes, they are so beautiful and make such good pets. Growing up that was the first captive snake I ever saw.

All babies are done piping, fully out of the eggs, weighed and put into individual bins. Several possible hets got proved out. The honey Miami's should have an even cleaner look than Hannibal with nice contrasting yellow on silver since they aren't bloodred (diffused).

Final count is
(6) Caramel Miami 100% het sunkissed, bloodred, 66% ph cinder
(3) Honey Miami 100% het bloodred,66% ph cinder
(2) Caramel shatter Miami 100% het bloodred

Me neither, especially since they don't have quite the same adaptation as the official "egg-eating snakes", though I know that hungry gopher snakes have been known to
swipe chicken eggs from chickens...:D I just don't know how well they digest them?

Do corn snakes digest the shells too, or do they find a way to crack & hack them up? And what kind of eggs are those, by the way? Quail?

Alas, I've been "depriving" my corn snakes...

Around here big black rat snakes love chicken coops. They eat the egg and the mice that eat the feed. I've heard of corns spending a lot of time in trees so I figured they might be raiding the nests of small birds. most of my snakes also love chicks and quail so I figured eggs aren't that far off and worth the try.

Three of my corns and a king all took eggs on their first attempt. Two others ate them on the second attempt when I put the eggs in a pile with f/t hatchlings. I'll test more of my corns when breeding season passes.

These are eggs from button quail that I breed. I also have and abundance of coturnix and chicken eggs I'm going to try on larger snakes like the retics. Once the egg got several inches down (about an inch past the last photo) there was a very audible crunching sound as the egg broke. It looks like maybe half the shell got digested and half expelled in her waste.

After making it through this whole thread I am 100% rethinking my plans of a BP or possible Boa. My wife likes the more colorful snakes and I think corns are about as colorful as they get! Maybe get another corn. Diablo has gone 20+ for me so far, so another one would take me quite a ways!

Overall, I think corn snakes are the BEST pet snakes...besides their colorful beauty, they're SO much easier to keep & care for...they eat year-round, need far less heat
in their cage, & make great display animals too since they enjoy & use their branches. Combine that with a docile nature: they can be defensive as tiny hatchlings,
but their teeth are too small to feel, & then by the time they are big enough to even FEEL their teeth, they're generally calm pets. I like their curious nature too. :snake:

And 67temp, your collection is truly AMAZING! Thanks for sharing & causing so much snake-envy. :D

Of the 9 snake species I keep I would have to say the corns are the most stress frees ones. Followed very closely in second place by the African house snakes.

When is the show your doing in MD? Need to bring the kids for another small pet.:snake:
