A whole week early. Due on 08/25 that puts her actual gestation at POS plus 110. But they are full term, no yolk babies. Woohoo!!!

I was busy taking pics of fresh shed babies from the prior two litters. I was done and turned to leave the room and saw.....



I just love it when the first random pulled baby from the cage looks like......



And the obligatory pile o' wigglers picture, this was a tough one, opened the tub and they started to bolt as I snapped one pic, will have to do for now......



Total of 17 live babies and two slugs (at least that's all the slugs I found) Only 5 or 6 were still in the egg sacks so I'd say the litter was an hour or two old when discovered.

4 - 27 gram
7 - 28 gram
6 - 29 gram

A little on the smaller size but still well within normal.
