Our very first clutch of corn snakes pipped last weekend! We were very excited as these are our first snake eggs to hatch. The father of this clutch is our very first corn snake, Stripey, that belongs to my son. He is amelanistic and possibly het for lavender & motley. The mother, Hyacinth, is a lavender motley that is het for amelanistic. So, we were hoping to prove out Stripey for one or both of the possible traits.

Here are some pics of the pippies!

By Saturday morning two were already out, quickly followed by a third.

We ended up with a total of 9 hatchlings. Number 10, another normal, pipped, but died in the egg shortly afterward. I’d been fighting mold on that egg during the whole incubation. We have six normals, two amel motleys, and one motley. So, Stripey has proven to be het for motley! WooHoo!

The rest of the hatchlings can be seen in the gallery!
