Off to a 'Snakey' start

...Hello All.....

Well, the days finally arrived.... 10 weeks after laying her first ever clutch of eggs, My Corn Snake, Strawberry Cheesecake has become a mom....

at 05:40hrs this AM, a quick check on the incubator found 4 eggs pipped....by 6am, the first nose appeared....at 7am..three little snouts are sticking out the eggs....


So far, from what I can see, the first three at least have carried the same gene as their mother (a 'Normal' corn), however, they could even be a morph called an 'Okatee'. Each hatchling, once 'pipped' from the egg, will stay in the egg to absorb the remaining nutrients, and once ready.....they'll pop out to begin a life of luxury.

I have some pics from earliest shots to latest, and will keep updating through the day....or...(gulp)....days

(excuse the pic quality...as I said...it was early)

.....remember to keep checking in...
