Snake #2 is starting to emerge. She's already been named. "Shy" Since she seems to be taking her time coming out.
Snake #1 is named "Katie" after my oldest daughter's friend.
I've never hatched out snakes before. It's very cool.
I love snakes!

*Update*

Shy is still standing by her name. She's hold up in the shell. I've peeled away a little more shell and checked on her.
She appears to be fine but reluctant to make her appearance to the world.
I'm keeping a moist paper towel over the egg to keep her hydrated. I can pulled the shell back and get a good look at her/his face.
If she's not out by the end of the day, than I will have to evict her from her old home and introduce her to her new one.

*Updated update*

As I was typing the first update she decided to join the world. I'll try to get some better photos today.

After three years of blood, sweat and tears, I have finally found an eastern milksnake!!! It was under a sheet of tin. Anyhow, I thought I'd post pictures, and say thanks to everybody who has given me advice at some point or another.

The snake has an injury on its tail and I'm applying neosporin. Is there anything else I should do?

I just got the snake a couple days ago, so I know it will take some time to settle down. I heard that milksnakes are very difficult to feed in captivity. Does anybody have any advice? Since this snake is wild-caught I'm willing to feed it amphibians to get it started.



Here is the tail injury:


Thank you! I'm so excited!

I have had many many eastern milks and feeding isnt usually a problem start on live then pre killed then F/T always worked for me.
