At first I thought "Born in the USA" would be a fun title to express my excitement on this breeding and hatching, but something dawned on me. There are some people who import gravid and pregnant females that were taken straight out of the wild and have babies that are born here in the USA and they can technically call their animals "CB" meaning "captive born."

I guess I should make it more clear that this isn't why I am happy about these babies. I bought the adults as an unrelated young pair that were bred and born in captivity by Quetzal Dwyer in Costa Rica some years ago, and then shipped to the USA. I raised these young snakes up to adulthood and have finally had a successful breeding with viable eggs that I hatched out.

This is how I would like to see more species come available in the United States, so I am happy I am successful with my hatching, and I am happy I have these babies without taking short cuts.

Thanks again for looking!
