Routing for the snake and the op and I also would have waited until the eggs hatched. This would have been less of an issue if you already had the evidence to back it up with. There are less disputes and nahsayers when all the proof you need is right there. Which is why most people working on projects and proving animals out keep it hush hush until they have the offspring to verify it. Hopefully lesson learned for some, some times a little patience goes a long way.
