The Babies' thread.

So now I have 3 itty-bitty cuties to raise. They're all eating like crazy, and seem lively and healthy. I'll start with a few pics, and try to add some better ones soon. I'm having a real hard time getting good shots of them -- too darned wriggly!

This is the one I picked. She was the last to eat, and she's a bit shy. Her colouring is lighter than all the rest, and her markings, while distinct, are much more subtle. Very little red in the sides on this one.
I've named her Sweetpea.




This is Inchworm, Megan's pick, and a l'il boy snake!
He has a bit more checkering and he's darker than Sweetpea. He also has more orange in the sides.



And last but not least, we have Kieran's pick, named Checkers. And this is one I'm having a bit of trouble sexing. For some reason this snake isn't looking clearly one way or another yet. I'll have to let it grow a bit to be certain.
Anyway, he/she has lots of distinct checkers (hence the name) and lots of red in the sides. Also the most outgoing of the trio. And I only have one pic because it's so busy.


So, there you go..............Welcome, babies!!

Very nice. I hope to see more pictures of them as they grow up.

[anji1971]

Thank-you, Stefan! And there certainly will be more..............

They're lovely, Anji... I especially like Checkers. I'll look forward to watching these three grow.

Thanks, Shanley and James!
It was hard to choose, 'cause I wanted to keep them all, but I think we did well.

James, Checkers is definitely an eyecatching one! I think he may grow up to look very much like his mother colour-wise.

What CUTIES!!!!!!!!!!! Checker's is difininately my fav, though. What a PRETTY whatever-sex! Sweetpea is TOO DAMN CUTE! I could kiss on that sweetie all day!

CONGRATULATIONS, Anji!

[anji1971]

A few were adopted, and the remaining 5 were released back where I found the mom.
The little story of their release is here: (Hopefully, I did this right so you can link to it!)
