While taking down the front brick steps, we came across a few little eggs. Before we found them, a few had already been destroyed, so we knew what kind of snakes they were, otherwise the rest wouldn't be sitting in an aquarium under a heat lamp right now.

From what I had read, I had little hope that they would make it, since once they are layed, they aren't supposed to be turned over, and by the time we got them out of the bricks and into the incubator, who knew what side was supposed to be up. But out of 9 or 10, I hoped the odds would be on our side for a few to hatch. I also thought that they wouldn't be doing anything for a few more weeks, but look what we found when we got back from the park today (see pictures below)!

He/she is now happily foraging in the flower garden somewhere, and finding its first meal. Even if the others don't hatch, I consider it well worth it that we saved at least one. Happy life, little ringneck snake!
