Baby sneks (hatching video added)

Back on June 11 I was moving a mulch pile with my tractor and discovered a clutch of 9 snake eggs. Moved on to the next mulch pile and found 16 more. Most of them were scooped and dumped before I saw them, so I wasn’t very optimistic that they’d hatch since they were rolled and jostled pretty roughly, but only a couple were dented/damaged looking. Put them in a bucket of the same mulch and stored it in my garage (temps around 86 degrees).
On June 17 I opened the bucket to find 5 baby black racers, and over a 3 day span 14 hatched.
Today the other batch started hatching.
I uncovered and moved the eggs so hopefully I can get some photos/video of them hatching.

Baby black racers are pretty cute with those big eyes.

My outdoor cat has been feasting on baby garter snakes. has gotten 5 that I have seen. Can't imagine how many he's actually gotten (got bored with squirrels, apparently, after having gotten at least 5 of them as well).

Are those all the same type of critter? I had two of those inside my house last week... It took some convincing to not completely burn down the house.
They both looked almost exactly like these (Specifically the bottom right side)

Very cool thread.
Coincidentally I just watched some jurassic park a few minutes ago

I grew up in Schriever and my mom would have these big box gardens in the back yard. We were old school and didn't have a tiller and just turned the ground up with a hoe. I was turning up the mud one summer and dug up 8 eggs and put them in a bucket with dirt so I could show my dad when he got home from work. When he got home we went to look at the eggs and there were 8 baby copperheads in the bucket. Evidently my dad was not very attached to that bucket because right then and there he decided to burn it.

You remind me of John Hammond in Jurassic Park

Feels like I'm reading a batman villain origin story.
OP releases snakes. Immediately sees kids kill snakes. Insert montage of OP fuming mad. Shakes fist at sky. Builds snake costume. voila.
