video of pine snakes hatching
August 9th, 2012Finally, and sorry for the wait, time-lapsed video of the pine snakes hatching.
They should start eating soon, and then we’ll bring them out for people to meet during the Reptile Feeding Program, Thursdays at 4 PM.

July 22nd, 2012Seven pine snake babies are in their own space today, having made it out of their eggs entirely.
doing what pine snakes do best, but hissing is not as scary when you are only 15+ inches long
even hissy when not being handled.
longer than a foot- about 15 inches at hatching
can you count how many are in the pile?
Each snake gets its own container
We started with 10 eggs laid, but one was not viable. There is one more snake that keeps popping in and out of its egg. S/he should be out by the end of today. There is one remaining egg that Kent cut open this morning since it wasn’t a good sign that nothing had happened. Sadly, the snake did not make it.
The snakes will get water for now. Within about one week they should shed and then we will feed them. After that, we’ll bring one out for folks to meet at the 4 PM reptile feeding on Thursdays. Come by and meet them!

and they’re out…
July 21st, 2012I got a good head shot this morning, but we’ve finally got a visual on the rest of a snake. My photos are poor, but we’ll have better ones tomorrow:
if you look closely, you'll see our snake egg box inside of another tub- there's a snake who made his/her way out! (on the right).
a blurry two!

Keep the updates coming! These guys are wonderfully cute. From their slow progress it must be exhausting for them.

So pretty! Do you think their markings will change as they get older?
They may lighten or darken overtime. But, we are pretty sure that just the proportioning might change, but not the markings.
