First ever babies!

Thanks to Karl kindly agreeing to put my Cornsnake eggs in his incubator, I'm now the proud owner of (at least) 8 babies! There's a few more eggs still cooking so with a bit of luck there may be a few more. Dad is a normal (het for blood red, bred by Phil), mum is a snow. Many, many thanks, Karl.

Congrats and good going Karl, you da man!

What lovely little babies, soooo.......the big question, how many are you going to keep, all going well?

Brilliant raymond, i'd forgotten all about those eggs until yesterday when mrs Gibbon told me some of them had hatched.

Congratulations

Well done Raymond and Karl....

aww man look at the little worm, jus but the right size for my bosc to much on!!

i really never liked corns, far to small and take for ever to get up to a half decent size. colours and pattern avaiable are amazing tho.

if any of them come out deformed or whatever let me know, the bosc would enjoy a bit of a change. near had my finger the other night....

anyways well done Raymond.

Congrats always a good feeling getting ur first babies !!!

Paul you cheeky ......! I think we'll convert you to these some day - just see! There's always a few mice here if you want them for your Bosc, Paul.

Thanks guys for your comments. Probably, I'll keep one normal back only; these are my favourite colour of cornsnake, but, me being me - you never know. Probably the best bit about it was seeing the excitment in Karl's face when they hatched. One thing we agree on: my goodness they're tiny!!

h i remember that wee normal het blood.His mother turned out to be het amel aswell,so your little normal was also 50% possible het amel,and by the looks of those amels he proved out for ya!! Result Raymond

aww cute

Great job guys, its always very satisfying to breed something for the first time, well worth all the effort and waiting!
Lovely little snakes
John

Indeed Thoth! I hope that if I ever manage to breed any other snakes in the future that I'll be just as excited seeing these as I am with this little bunch (now up to 11 - 7 normals and 4 amels!)

ive a 4ft+ male and hes like 500-600grms
lol hes definitely not small

they are compared to a boa!! i had two corns for my first snakes, they were tiny and took ages to grow an inch!! were really not what i wanted. horses for courses!!

yea, i like that bigger stuff but as i have a baby sister im not allowed now
i really want a 7ft burm from a local guy but mum read up on burms and thinks its too much of a dangers as by christmas she thinks it will be bout 9-10ft!!
so now im not allowed she was alright with me gettin the stuff at the start now its just the small things:( until i get somewhere safer to house them like a shade

Nice one, Nikki! I'm building up a nice background picture of the parents now.

they're fab - congrats!
Corns are lovely, pity they stink so bad. I'm clinging onto my remaining three with my fingernails - dave hates them

. Indeed, they do have a distinctive whiff to them. I always know when mine's, er, done their business; my Royals and Boa when they go you'd hardly smell a thing (you can't miss seeing it though! )

i second that lol when i got my 6ft boa after i fed and the 5 days later i saw an unbelievable size of poo!!!
it the size of large dogs!!!
dread to think of a 10ft burm

Thanks for sharing Hudsy!!

Lol hudsy you crack me up :)
