Black Racer Snakes Hatching

Amanda did a fantastic job with the black racer snake eggs she found when she moved a tarp. All 15 hatched! She was surprised they all hatched because she had disturbed the clutch quite a bit before she saw them. 

She took these pictures of them hatching for us. Yesterday, she brought them over for a quick homeschool lesson before she let them go on four different properties (with permission) where they will help control rodents. (Update: She found a fifth property for a few.)

Caleb was not home, and he wanted to see them. So, Amanda left one for him to release. She took the rest to Brandon's house for him to see too. All three of the youngest girls held one. So did the mama of this happy gang! Clint did not get to see them because there was a major power outage at work keeping him until very late.
