Snake of the Day 03-28-17

Show & Tell

Most of you know that I don’t often produce Ultramels, but I pulled this gal off the bench for this year’s game.  She’s a stunning Ultramel Het Blizzard produced by John Finsterwald (Zorro).  Don’t her colors remind you of some Strawberry mutants, but she has none of that blood in her.  Not often, but sometimes corn snake eggs are laid in pearl string fashion; with connective shelling tissue between each egg (see pic below)?  Had I the patience of a palentologist or brain surgeon (NEVER) I’d have painstakingly and gently removed these eggs from the nest box so as to keep them all connected, but . . . .
