Blue ordinoides

[ambertastic]

I think one of the babies might turn out to be a blue Bellinghammer!
Attached are some pictures.
Two of the babies have greenish gray undersides and brown stripes. The third has a light gray underside with a hint of blue. The side stripes are light colored and the top stripe is tan.
How long does it typically take for snakes to show their true colors? None of them look like the grown yellow striped garters I'm used to seeing around.

I really hope I don't mess up my first baby snake experience.. especially (selfish as it is) now that I have something I'd specifically like to compare and watch develop.

They are in a planted terrarium currently but I think I'm going to switch to a simpler set up until I'm sure that they're eating. I haven't seen them eat yet though their tank is stocked with baby slugs. And they seem to enjoy burrowing under the plants (anyone noticed that before?) I had some pretty snails I collected from their mother-lot in there too but they used them as stairs to climb up the glass

So far they still hate me... I worry about being to rough with their little selves when taking pictures, about starving them accidentally, etc etc.
