Hi Ben,

Sorry to hear about the still born yellows. I experienced a similar situation with my green last year. My female was relatively small (12 -12.5 feet). She dropped 23 still born babies and three live babies, so I can completely understand your disappointment. I had been in regular contact with Kelly at the time and he felt that she seemed overly large based on the photos that I posted here. I did not weigh the babies, but I can say that they were all large. Despite my disappointment I still feel very fortunate to have a outstanding green. She was off her game for a bit after she dropped the babies, but she is fully recovered (one year later) and completely on track. He last shed was a 20' full shed. She is just short of 13 feet now and weights about 130 pounds.

I'm attaching photos of when she was gravid.
