Your snakes are beautiful! Were the carpets dead when you froze them or did you cull them? Just wondering because I wasn't sure if fail-to-pip meant they just weren't strong enough to do it or they weren't alive.

Thank you. Freezing isn't a humane method for culling snakes, I pith when the need arises. These were already dead when I manually pipped their eggs after the rest of the clutch hatched. They got a quick rinse then into the freezer with the rest of my snake food. Waste not, want not. I personally would never cull a perfectly healthy snake.
