Are those hatching little guys?
I guess I'm not used to seeing babies of snakes like that, their features just seem adult. They have awesome colors, but I'm very picky about snake head and body types. The only snakes that I have a desire to go touch are ones that have the same body type as corns (rats, milks and all those relatives). They are just the only ones that have a sweet and nice look to them (but thats my opinion...I've also only owned one corn & 2 garters).

Nice~
Well I love fiesty little hatchlings~
They always tend to do better than non fiesty ones. We'll teach those later on..but getting hatchlings ones that eat is the most important thing IMHO~
I had a couple of those hatch before but never did they do that to me~ LOL! You're lucky Rhonda~!
P.S. The Sunglow het motley just laid her second clutch today. I didn't disturb her to count the eggs yet but they look pretty good to me. Thanks! She was bred to your butter het motely. First clutch already piped last week and all of them were great looking!!

Yes, those are Orthriophis taeniurus ridleyi, aka Cave Dwelling Ratsnakes. And they do get big! The parent of these are somewhere between 7 and 8 feet long. I do have a pair that is smaller (about 6 feet) but they didn't produce any eggs for me this year.
Simon -- glad to hear about the eggs! Those two produce some beauties together! I still have one of their offspring that is gorgeous. Her genes don't really fit into any of my current projects since I sold the butter to you, but I haven't been able to give her up yet.
