After 90 days of waiting, here they are. As one died in the hatch time, they are only six now, but at least, one is abnormal (halloween phase???).

These are Oxyrhopus guibei. Not related to milksnakes at all.

oh ok thank you.

Its amazing how similar to milk snakes they are, a good example of convergent evolution. Do they have the pattern for the same reason? to look like the coral snake?

That's right. They looks pretty like synpatric Micrurus with these aposematic colors.
