just had my pair of Coastal Carpets successfully hatch 11 babies

[Big-Rig]

Hey guys. I'm really new to all this. I was never ever considering breeding snakes but it turns out I have a mated pair.

several months ago the female laid and has been very good at looking after her eggs so I left her to it. they are in an outdoor enclosure and are really a hardy pair.

anyway low and behold she sucxessfully hatched all her babies. we managed to retrieve 11 out of 21 eggs. I suspect the other 10 got out of the enclosure bwfore I got home from work.

I jave them all in the small chinese take away tubs with water and some paper towel over them. what the hell do I do now?

they all look very healthy.

Take pics and post them lol
Seriously, I would read a lot about raising them and wait for some-one a lot more experienced than I to answer

I agree [MENTION=17497]MrThumper[/MENTION] but I`m more concerned with 10 hatchy coastals possibly escaped into an area they are not naturally found. I realise most probably won`t survive but it seams a little irresponsible to me. Just my opinion.

rhe orher 10 can't be found. my pair are in an outdoor enclosure so rhey are gone. rhe area is prolific with all kinds of wildlife including coastal carpets I'm sure but what can I say except learn from thos.
