They’re stunning! Every one is gorgeous. I am so happy for you.

I know what you mean about it being a joy rather than work. (I also know it’s still work. Lots of work!) Your animals surely feel that, and it’s a grand thing for them.

Surely looks that way to me!

Baby bull pic dump.

First from the red hypo (hannum/stillwater) x red het hypo stillwater:

These little guys are the total package. Color, pattern, cleanliness, they got it!

Next is the hybino x ghost clutch. The entire clutch is hypo trumbower. I got a great combination of snows, ghosts, hypos, and hybinos.

Eric congratulations on all those babies. They all look fantastic. Now you have a big problem which one’s to keep. :rofl: Bet you will be going back and forth for weeks before you make your final decision.

@caron and @tommccarthy Thank you both very much for the kind words. It was amazing three days watching all these little buggers hatch out.

I’m completely blown away by the red hypos that hatched out. The goal was make hypos from that pairing but I didn’t imagine they would be so incredible looking. Now I gotta figure out what exactly is going genetically here. I am biased obviously but they might be the best looking bull snakes I have ever seen. I am anxiously awaiting their first shed to get a more accurate look at them. I’m already planning to hold back several of them so I can see how they mature over the first year or so of life.

The non-hypo hets in this clutch are pretty good looking little snakes in their own right. They look pretty clean and have nice red hues showing already which is a good sign for future color development. Here’s a couple of pics of them.

:joy::joy::joy: I have them shacked up together until they shed. Once they’ve shed, I’ll separate them to individual tubs and offer first meals.

I’m partial to the red bulls (not the drink!:joy:) because of the little girl I have. She’s crazy red like yours are gonna be! :fire::heart_eyes:
