Ed,

...I do not have any Guyanans in my collection. When I had a litter of them in 1993 the babies were small and difficult to get started so I decided to not keep working with them. I have heard of other people having better luck with the babies though.

>>>>There are 8 males and 11 females in the litter. The babies are all 18 to 19 inches long and weigh 29 to 32 grams. The mother of the litter was born here in 1999 and she is around 6.5 feet long. The father of the litter is Lorio which is a 2002 or 2003 from Gary Lorio's collection. I did not observe any mating between these two snakes but Lorio was in with her several times in march april and may. Fiona looked gravid and had palpable lumps starting in may.

>>>>>>I got home from Florida this afternoon and Fiona had just delivered the last of her litter. The count is 18 live healthy babies, one stillborn fullterm, one premature and four slugs. There could have been other slugs devoured before I got home. Fiona was born here in 1999 from my Caat bloodline. The father of this litter is Lorio. I will try to post some PICs if I get some time. This makes a total of 150 live healthy baby Rainbow Boas for the year. 140 Brazilians, nine Argentinians and one Campina Grande.
