Thayeri hatching!

[GarterGuy]

Beautiful babies! Sorry, I still don't know much about other snakes, but are they milksnakes?

They're actually a subspecies of Mexican kingsnake....Lampropeltis mexicana thayeri...also called Nuevo Leon Kingsnakes or, for obvious reasons, Variable Kingsnakes. After Thamnophis, Lampropeltis is one of my favorite genuses of snakes.

Wow They're beautifull, Roy !!! Congrats with them.
I don't know much about other snakes also , but are these babies from the same parents? because their colors are different.

Yeh, they're all from one clutch......it's why they're also called Variable kingsnakes....the colours and patterns can vary a ton, even with in the same clutch. Here are pics of the parents.
