Ive been bitten way too many times trying!!! (Dave how many times do you get bitten every baby season!!???!!!???) Your going to have to cope with aftershed pictures only.
Ive got weights though. These weights are for the 17 that have been put into their own tubs now. I do have one more tiny runt, that was born was a massive yolk sack, and im not sure if it will pull thru. (its currently on some extra heat and humidity, and has just lost the egg sack, we will see what happens with it) So i have not added it, as i dont want to bother it by weighing it. Total litter count was 18 live, 2 stillborn (also deformed) and 3 slugs)
1 x 22grams (the other runt, but completely agro, just tiny
4 x 34 grams
8 x 35 grams
1 x 36 grams
2 x 37 grams
1 x 39 grams
which gives a litter weight of 587 grams, and a average weight of 34.5 grams, not including the smallest runt with the yolk attached.
Dave or Jeff i would be interested to see if you have any litter details on weight. I have seen some data that you have posted before Dave on newborns weight, and from what i can remember, my average seems to be quite high compared to what i have seen.
this was about my best effort of getting a photo, before the snake tried to commit suicide by sliding off the edge (and yes i was using the under the waterbowl technique, which did not work this time

And their new homes, along with some yearlings at the bottom
Ive got more litters coming, and a trip home to australia in a month, so its going to be a crazy time getting all the caging ready. Living over here, there isnt really an option of a last minute phone call to the Boaphile or FreedomBreeder for some caging!!
