    Question What steps to take after hatching?

    I have my first clutch of eggs ever in the incubator right now. I Got 8 eggs from my albino x normal pairing. My question is, what are the steps i have to take once the babies hatch. i always see that the pictures of recently hatched snakes are laying on water soaked paper towel. How long do i keep them in that? and what else do i need to do? thanx in advance for the help

    Simply keep them on damp paper towel until they have their first shed.

    Once they shed you can offer their first meal.

    Yup. I kept all of mine together on damp paper towel. Once they all shed, I seperated them & offered meals a few days later. The last of the bunch just ate their first meal last night (one took the first day offered. The others I had to wait a couple days here & there before offering again so as not to stress them out).
