Hey all,

I'm a bit flustered over here!! My Anery female dropped her litter (I think last night) about 102 days POS. She is a 2001 Anery poss het snow that I bought from Rich Ihle way back then. I couldn't try to prove her out this year since my albino male didn't show any interest in breeding whatsoever. So I placed my 2001 Het Anery from Basically Boas in with her, so that I could at least get some new little anerys, which is by far my favorite morph anyway. This was his second female for the year and he did the job. I believe this male het anery was from a ghost litter, so I expected some pretty good looking anerys in this litter.

So I came home this morning and found that she dropped her litter 3 days early. Already, I was pretty psyched because I could see some handsome anerys in there. I went to grab my digital camera in my home office, come back to take a another look at the litter and I was floored when I saw a little white worm in the bunch. I thought it was an albino, which would have been enough for me to lose my breath, but after taking yet another look, I think it's actually a snow. The little guy/gal is in the top left corner of the pic.

I'm a bit worried about him/her because there's a lot of yolk that hasn't been absorbed (as can be seen in the pic). Please advise as I've never really had to deal with a baby with that much yolk still needed to be absorbed. I gonna leave the entire litter alone in the Vision cage and spray with lukewarm water until they start moving off on their own. I only think it's a snow because I really don't see any orange on it as would be seen on normal albinos. I'd take a closer look, but I don't even want to touch that little white guy until he absorbs more yolk and starts crawling around a bit more. Any other advise as to what to do would be extremely appreciated.

I guess the female is a definite Anery DH Snow, but the male? When I bought the male 5 years ago, Mike from Basically Boas didn't really mention anything that would lead me to believe that he had any albino genes at all. I doubt that my albino male did the job, since I would expect there to be more albinos in the bunch plus, didn't carry any genes for anery. So maybe I hit the jackpot with the percentages and the het anery male was in fact a dh snow? Regardless, I'm very happy with the results.

Anyway, enough babbling from me. This my 4th and final litter of the year and what a way to end it. I hope and pray to the boa gods that this litter does alright, especially my little surprise. Here are a couple pics to show a bit of the excitement I got to experience today.

Thank you all for looking and any advice about premie albino/snow boas would be greatly appreciated.

All the best,

Jay A.
