Creamsicle X emoryi hatchlings

[vanderkm]

We bred our cream male to a pure great plains ratsnake this season to introduce an outside line. The eggs were huge compared to corn eggs (3X the size) and they hatched last weekend - very large babies. Thought I would post a few pics of these rootbeers with a creamsicle (1 month old) for comparison.

rootbeer hatchlings (75% emoryi) - some were blue within a day of hatch like the one in the back here

size comparison with one month old creamsicle

Thanks all - my best guess is that they are 75% emoryi - I am not sure that the creamsicle father is 50/50 as I didn't produce him, but it is my understanding that he comes from a long line of cream to cream crosses, so should be about 50/50. These babies have eaten large fuzzies for their first meals - imagine they will be up to hopper mice in no time,
