Left — the adult Palmetto father of the hatchling on the right. Right — the first 2013 Palmetto corn snake out of her egg — which was S.O.T.D. yesterDAY. Of course, no two Palmettos are alike, but when mature, this one DAY-old hatchling should have as much (if not more) color than her father. The father was as pink and feature-less as this hatchling when he was her age. In the bubble view, note the egg tooth which hatchling snakes use to cut out of their eggs. The egg tooth usually wears off within hours of emergence from their eggs.
