Blue runner babies

[Matt G]

I killed a blue runner a few weeks ago in the yard that was a bit aggressive. After I moved her, I noticed she had laid eggs in a small divot next to my sewer tank. My wife has a friend who works with snakes so we gave her a call to see if she wanted the eggs. She came pick them up and brought them to a coworker to incubate them and try to hatch them. Well she sent pictures yesterday that they hatched! They will all be turned loose in an area that is safe for them. As much as I hate snakes, this is pretty cool.
