Lip smacking good! 👅💦
These lil bug eye bairds get so easily excited they're always flicking their tongues or rattling their tails even while swallowing a meal!

Aug 28 – Seven of ten hatchlings out of their eggs.
Babies were collected and rinsed off and each housed individually in 6qt tubs.
May 21 – Placed male into females enclosure. Lots breeding interest shown by male. Female didn’t seem too into it. Male has proven himself to be an aggressive breeder.
Separated them from each other later that day to prevent the female from being beat up too much.
June 16 – Female is looking very uncomfortable. Good sign for me but feel bad for her. Kinda got a little scared that this was symptoms of RI but then remembered that she’s gravid…
May 25 – Placed male into females enclosure. Again not much interest from the female.
At this point I suspected either ovulation occurred or that she just didn’t take to the earlier breeding attempts.
Separated on May 26.
We roadtripped across Canada from Ontario to British Columbia with a small clutch of Rhino Rat snake eggs. I couldn't leave them with the rest of my snakes in Toronto waiting to be shipped to me when I got over to BC. I had to bring them. They were just too late into incubation to risk leaving them to hatch with nobody to properly set them up after birth. This first one pipped three days into the road trip at an Airbnb in Winnipeg so it was a good decision to bring them. The other three each hatched in a new city along the way. I had to pack em up for the drive and bring them in and set em up for the evening and do it all again the next day. It wasn't too much work because there were only four eggs and four babies by the end of it but it was definitely a new experience to hatch snakes on the road across Canada.
