In case you didn't know, Stephen doesn't like snakes!

But he wasn't too bothered about meeting the first star of this new series of Brilliant Creatures - a baby snake!
The snake was hatching from his egg.

As you can see above, the process started when the snake made a little hole in the shell of his egg, and popped his head through.

After a few moments, when he was ready, the hatching continued as he started to leave the egg.
He's a corn snake. Not venomous, but beautifully marked.

Isn't it amazing that so much snake could fit in one tiny egg?
